My example:

Santa Claus even delivers to children of marine life, but I don't know why he uses a bicycle. He's an amazing man, albeit a bit eccentric.

Santa Claus entrega regalos hasta a los niños de la vida marina, pero no sé por qué usa una bicicleta. Es un hombre extraordinario, aunque un poco excéntrico.
