How good is my Spanish ?

Question

I have written my first few sentences in Spanish, without using the translator, though using the conjugation tool and a dictionary for some help. Each Spanish sentence is follwed by the English that I want my Spanish to say.

I would be grateful if someone could spare a few minutes to read it through, have a good laugh and correct where I have it wrong.

Muchas gracias !

Alex.
