umm this is jus a brief overview of the features that u should know:

- striking headline usu a pun
- byline
- subjective view with aim to persuade and entertain
- emotive/colourful language
- quotes/anectdotes
- clear line of argument/opinion
- short paragraphs
- subheadings where necessary
- first person
- vary sentence length to avoid monotony in structure

yes be personal, as if you are talking to people of your own age, colloquial language, interesting. i find them easy to write because you dont have to be formal and can be a bit more natural in your writing style.

Also depends on where the feature article is appearing, your audience etc.

The person/thing you heard it from is misguided; you can.
