Sample Answer:

I have an excessively big family and if I start counting, I think there are around 80 to 85 members in my family, so everybody has their own qualities. However, the one relative which I would like to describe today is my cousin, Jashan. He is my aunt’s son, and I can say with surety that he is the naughtiest as well as clever person I have ever met.

Currently he is 26 years old, but as I have been watching him since he was two or three years old and he has been very naughty since that time. I remember that whenever he used to visit us, we used to be scared that he will come and break the things and my toys. He had all the elements which can make someone hate a person. But he was naughty as well as innocent, so I liked him as I knew that although he used to create a lot of nuisance but in his thoughts, he used     to bea exceptionally good person.

I am very close to him and it all started when I went to his city for my first job. As I was new to the city, so I had to stay at his home. At that time, he was in 10th grade, so in addition to being a brother he found a good friend in me. He started sharing all his things with me and slowly and slowly we became remarkably close. Being a teenager, he needed someone with whom he could talk to about anything such as his girlfriends, his friends and his school life, and I was there, so it kind of grew very close ties between both of us. There are a lot of qualities in him which make me like him.

As I have already told that he    used to be very naughty, so he used to get a lot of beating from me, but when I stayed at the home I found that although he was very naughty but he was very helpful person. I saw him helping even the unknown people. I never visualized someone who was so young, will be so philanthropic in his ideas. He used to get pocket money from his parents, and he spent some on himself and from the remaining amount, he used to make regular donations to help needy people. This is one aspect which makes me make me like him and secondly, his jolly nature keeps the mood very relaxed in the family. In these busy lives of ours these days we need something which can bring smiles on faces. At the time when I stayed at his home, my uncle, aunt and me were working, so at night when we used to come home stressed after work and when we used to talk to him, he was so cheerful that we forgot all our stresses and we were rejuvenated and that thing helped us in our performances as well as in making us a better human beings. So, these two aspects of him make me like him very much. Although, there are many more features in him which are good, but these two features are the main features, which make him stand out.

Since that period, around nine years ago, our mutual relation has been growing extraordinarily strong. He likes my nature, I like his nature, so that is why we go very well together with each other and I’ve learned a lot of things from him such as how to be good to other people even if we don’t have sufficient resources. Additionally, even he gets to learn a lot from my experiences. Mostly whenever we are sitting together, we talk something creative because he also likes to start his own business and I am also very entrepreneurial in my ideas, so whenever we have conversation, it is of intellectual type as well as humorous. Mostly it’s kind of information sharing session amongst both of us and I think owing to his good nature and creativity he’ll be a successful person in his life.
