Writing exercise

Original

My ideal man is a big shinny boy, who is tall as 180cm because I want myself to be a little girl around him. I don’t care where he comes from, but the optimistic attitude to life is a matter of most importance. I hope he is a man that I can communicate well with and we have some common interests and endless topics to talk with. I prefer the boy who has nice voice, so he’d better have a nice voice. He is a bit older than me, as I like mature man. I hope both his parents are nice and easy to get on well with

Correction

My ideal man is a big guy, who is about 180cm tall because I want to be like a little girl around him. I don’t care where he comes from, but an optimistic attitude to life is a matter of high importance. I hope he is a man that I can communicate well with and that we have some common interests and endless topics to talk about. I prefer a guy with a nice voice, so he’d better have a nice voice. He should be a bit older than me, as I like mature men. I hope both his parents are nice and easy to get on with.
