Sample Response:

I'd like to talk about my older sister, Sarah. She's my elder sister, and we have a pretty
close bond. Sarah is in her late 20s and has long, brown hair that she usually ties in a
ponytail. She's of average height, has a warm smile, and is always neatly dressed. She's a
striking blend of intelligence and kindness.

In terms of her personality, Sarah is an incredibly considerate and compassionate


individual. She's the type of person who would go out of her way to help someone in
need. She's also a great listener and has a knack for making people feel at ease when
they're around her. Sarah's sense of humor is infectious, and she often lightens up
family gatherings with her witty remarks.

One of the reasons I admire Sarah so much is her dedication to her work and her
continuous pursuit of self-improvement. She's a successful lawyer and has worked hard
to achieve her goals. Her dedication and perseverance have inspired me to work harder
in my own pursuits. She's always ready to offer guidance and support when I need it,
making her not just a sister but also a mentor and friend.

Overall, Sarah is an amazing sister and a role model to me. Her kindness, intelligence,
and dedication are qualities that I deeply admire. I feel lucky to have her as a family
member, and I hope to be as successful and compassionate as she is.
