Question
I need your help to rephrase the description of Friday in Defoe's Robinson Crusoe. I really hope you can help me!
1) First I let you have a look at the sentences I need to rephrase:
" a comely handsome fellow, perfectly well made, with straight strong limbs; tall and well shaped; "about twenty six years of age"; very goood countenance"; something very manly in his face"; "all the sweetness and softness of an European in his countenance".
This is the first part.

a comely handsome fellow, <b>Choose one of the adjectives, but don't use both</b>
perfectly well made, with straight strong limbs; tall and well shaped; <b>There's repetition/redundancy here, too. Cut out the words that mean the same as another word in this group. </b>
"about twenty six years of age"; <b> OK</b>
very good countenance"; something very manly in his face"; <b>also somewhat repetitive/redundant </b>
"all the sweetness and softness of a European in his countenance". <b>OK, but don't use "an" in front of a long U sound, such as the first syllable in "European" </b>
