DO NOT use the translator!! ¡No usar el traductor!
**Work must be done by yourself.
This thread is about YOUR ability not the ability of the translator. 
**
Post your sentences in Spanish and English, then vote for the ones you like. The best answer will be chosen tomorrow on the basis of the greatest number of votes and language correctness.
These threads are kindly moderated by **Heidita. Please correct your posts according to Heidita’s indications and suggestions 
.
Soon, the sentence that the winner of the Palabra del Día posts will be used for the sentence that will be published, e-mailed, etc., so in order to prepare, we will need to change a few rules…. Only add ONE picture to your post, your sentence MUST be comprehensible without the picture! This is actually an exciting change, and I know this will be a little more challenging, but it is great that they are going to use our sentences as the examples.
Posts which will not be corrected or accepted:
• Captions with 3 words or less
• Paragraphs with more than 4 lines
• Posts which cannot be understood after they are read three or four times
• Posts which consist mainly of lyrics or idioms which do not translate.
• Captions copied directly from books or other sources.
• Multiple posts from one person, or those who don't write the sentences in both English and Spanish.
• Remember to use the Word of the Day in a typical Spanish sentence. This is great practice for you and for everyone that reads the thread to see how the Word of the Day could be used in a sentence.
Remember to correct your posts as suggested or they can NOT be "accepted".
Do not use subject pronouns in Spanish. (You'll be sent to the dunce corner!)
Please refrain from overloading with graphic content (ie; bold smileys, etc). It makes it harder for the correctors to be able to read your posts…. )
My Example:
Hace cien años fue muy díficil hablar con las personas en el mundo. En la actualidad, puedo hablar con mis amigos en España, Chile, Mexico, Egipto, y más países con facilidad. Me pregunto cómo las personas se comunicarán en el año 2111.
One hundred years ago it was very hard to talk with people around the world. At present I can talk with my friends in Spain, Chile, Mexico, Egypt and more countries with ease. I wonder how people will communicate in the year 2111.
