New Game - Find a word _ / _ _ CH

votes

The idea is to find an English word of 4 or 5 letters that ends in CH.

_ _ CH or _ _ _ CH

And then write a short sentence in English and Spanish using that word.

Example:

The tench is a freshwater fish.

La tenca es un pez de agua dulce.

tench photo: tench tench.jpg

Eso es todo, fácil ¿no?

This was the previous challenge

La niña pequeña trató de extender la mano para alcanzar la picaporte (o manivela) ¡pero estaba consternada cuando se dio cuenta de que era (o fuera?) demasiada baja!

traducción alternativa: ...“pero estaba consternada al darse cuenta de que era (o fuera?) demasiada baja!

The young girl tried to reach for the door handle but was dismayed when she discovered (ie: realized) that she was too short!

Lurch--Estacada

Ten cuidado el coche que no se estacada en otro coche.

Be careful the car does not lurch into another car.

Automatic car lurches when going into first gear and reverse, why? I've got an older car with an automatic transmission, when I go from Park to Drive/Reserve the car gives a slight lurch, and when driving and the gearbox changes from 1st to 2nd I can feel the car lurch again then. Any ideas what is causing this? Other than this there are no other problems and it's been going on for quite some time without getting worse.
