Ser, estar, ..some future too.
Hi, just wanted to make sure all these spanish sentences are legible. I'm trying to say silvia is tall. SIlvia is tired. Silvia gets up from her bed, and that Pedo and mario are happy and having fun. Finally I wanted to say that Hector is grumpy, and he is remaining to stay seated in his chair. Basically something like that. Please tell me if this is basically what I'm saying below, and thanks!
Silva es alta. Silvia está cansada. Silvia se lavanta de su cama. Pedro y Mario están felices. Pedro y Mario se divierten. Héctor está gruñon. Héctor se queda en su silla.
I went ahead and tried using future tense with these sentences below, i think they're correct. I will speak about the environment alot in 20 years. I will use a bike and not a car. Water will be very expensive, and finally, i will recycle alot, in the future. Hablaré sobre el medio ambiente mucho en veinte años. Usaré un bicicleta y no un coche. Agua buena seré muy caro. Finalmente, reciclaré todo en el futuro.

Just a comment to remind you that the future tense in Spanish is sometimes different than in English.
Where in English "Water will be more expensive" may be taken as a statement of fact; in Spanish, it might be seen more as conjecture "Water might be more expensive." Most statements about the future have some nuance of conjecture to them, but more so in Spanish than English. (which is why the ir+a+verb infinitive periphrasis is often used to state a future fact).
