Describe a child

Today I would like to tell you about a child who is my cousin. His name is Lam, but I always call him by his nickname Monkey. Everyone calls him Monkey because he is very active and agile. I used to see him very often, but recently I have been busy with studying, so I have not met him for weeks. Monkey is 8 years old now. He is really adorable with big eyes and rosy cheeks and I really like his smile because it makes him look like an angel. He used to be very naughty when he was three or four years old. He cried for hours until he got what he wanted, but now he is more obedient. I guess maybe he thinks that he is not a child anyway, so he needs to behave well. He is quite an independent child. He doesn’t need his parents to tell him what time to do homework or what time to go to bed, he does all that on his own . I love this child very much because he is always so happy and optimistic. He gives me a positive energy when I’m with him. Whenever I drop by, he would give me a big hug and tell me his story at school. I really treasure those happy moments with my cousin. So, if I had to talk about a child I know, it would be my cousin.
