The average person
Can anybody correct this text, please?:
According to the National Geographic video, we can speak about the most "typical person" who is made from the average of 7 billion of people.
If I compare myself with the average person there are some differences. For example, I am 34 years old, whereas the average person is 28. I am female but the average person is male. I am right handed, like the average person. Finally, I am caucasian, whereas the largest ethnic group is chinese.

The Typical Person
According to the National Geographic video, we may discuss the "typical person," who is based upon an average of seven billion people.
If I compare myself with the "typical person" there are some differences. For example, I am thirty-four years old, whereas the "typical person" is twenty-eight. I am female but the "typical person" is male. I am a caucasian, but the "typical person" is an Asian. Finally, a similiarity is that I am right handed like the "typical person."
Interesting, Yolanda. Use either 'average' or 'typical' to identify the seven-billion average. Can or may, I suggest 'may.' When numbers are less than four digits do not use numerals in narratives. Chinese is a nationality, not an ethnicity; I suggest that you use 'Asain.'
