Hago consejos en español debajo así que no tengas que leerlo en inglés. Quizás me ayudes en aprender español y ojalá puedas entenderme. Siente la libertad de corrígeme si yo cometa errores.

Quieres decir ¨in adopting,¨ no ¨to adopt.¨ Los infinitivos de inglés no funcionan de la misma manera que los de español. Por ejemplo, para decir ¨El adoptar,¨ se dice ¨Adopting.¨

En ese contexto, deberías decir ¨like¨ o ¨such as.¨ ¨As¨ no es exactamente lo mismo como ¨como,¨ aunque son muy similares.

Esto es muy bien escrito. Me sorprendo de realizar que no hables inglés como natal, porque veía tan pocos errores al corregir.

Woof! My corrections are in red and my suggestions to sound more natural are in blue/grey.


You could also use the conditional tense in a couple of your sentences:

"So a dog would be the perfect pet for me"

"a pretty big garden which would be awesome to install a kennel in"
