1) At the beginning of the passage taken from Chapter sixteen of Robinson Crusoe,Friday is described as a fascinating, good-looking young man in his late twenties. (Robinson believes he must have been about twenty-six years old).
2) He is well-built with strong, straight legs (how shall I rephrase "limbs"?)and a very soft and sweet countenance (rephrase: look/s, manners?), which makes him resemble a European.
3) He is long, black haired (or he has long, black hair, a large forehead, sharp and sparkling (shiny) eyes.
4) His round, plump face contrasts with his small nose and his bright, mild (opposite meaning') olive complexion.
5) Robinson finds Friday's olive complexion agreeable. (I need to rephrase this).
