Translation help (needed)

My teacher gave us a task to continue a little story using the tenses we've learned (preterito Indefinido and Preterito Imperrfecto) Since i've studied it only a 2-3 days i found out that it is really hard to chose which one should use. I have the text in english and i would be thankful if you translate it in spanish using nothing else but P. Imperfecto and Indefinito (except tha last 1-2 senteces where i need to say that it's happening in present time.)

So here it is:

>

So a kind gentleman cought it and brought it to me , he gave it to me and i blushed started to thanking him,then we start talking and turned out that we study at same university and he likes many things that i like too.After few months we decided to live togheter and we really got along togheter.A year after that when we were on trip to Paris he proposed to me , and i said YES.Now i am so happy that - that wave toke away my swimsuit.Infact you all already know him , you call him Dad.


Try:

Entonces un señor amable lo agarró y me lo trajo, él lo dio a mí y me sonrojé comenzó al agradecimiento a él, entonces comenzamos a hablar y resultamos tras esto estudiamos en misma universidad y le gustan muchas cosas que me gusta también. Un año después de que cuando estábamos en viaje a París propuso a mí, y dijo que sí.Ahora estoy tan feliz que - que onda toke lejos mi traje de baño.Hecho todos ustedes ya lo conocen, llamarlo papá.

A good looking lady (hurrying for somewhere) bumped into me and the papers that she holded were all over the ground around us,even though that i had already been late for work i've helped her pick them up and i started to apologize , she looked like a nice person,she accepted my apologize and continue on her duties.Few hours later when i was having my lunch break , i went out of my company's building and i started walking and when i found a nice bench and i started eating my hamburger,suddenly the same lady was passing by and she sat at the bencht next to mine.I believe in faith so i toke this as a signn or destiny as you might say.I walked to her and asked her "Do you mind if i join you" she took it really surprised but she smiled and say ok.We talked for like 20minutes,she was from some other town and he just got moved in here.I suggested to show her the rest of the city when she have time,she agreed and gave me her number.Unfortunately i lost that peace of paper and now i am sad from like a week... the things that i hated befor in my job now look really small , my mind is with that young lady.But as i said i believe in destiny so i think if it is ment to be i will meet her again.


Try:

Una señora de aspecto buena (apresurándose para en algún sitio) chocó conmigo y los papeles(periódicos) que ella que holded estaban por todas partes de la tierra(razón) alrededor de nosotros, aunque esto yo hubiera llegado ya tarde al trabajo le he ayudado a escogerlos y comencé a pedir perdón, ella pareció a una persona agradable, ella aceptó mi pediré perdón y seguir sus deberes. Pocas horas más tarde cuando yo tenía mi ruptura de almuerzo, salí del edificio de mi compañía y comencé a andar y cuando encontré un banco agradable y comencé a comer mi hamburguesa, de repente la misma señora pasaba y ella se sentó en el bencht al lado de mía. Creo en la fe tan mí toke esto como un signn o destino como usted podría decir. Anduve a ella y le pregunté 'Hacer usted se opone si le acompaño' ella lo tomó realmente sorprendido pero ella sonrió y diga okey. Hablamos durante 20 minutos parecidos, ella era de alguna otra ciudad y él sólo(justo) fue acercado aquí. Aconsejé mostrarle el resto de la ciudad cuando ella tiene el tiempo, ella me concordó y dio su número. Lamentablemente perdí aquella paz de papel(periódico) y ahora estoy triste del parecido una semana... las cosas que odié befor en mi trabajo ahora parecen realmente pequeños, mi mente está con aquella señorita. Pero ya que dije que creo en el destino entonces pienso si es ment para ser la encontraré otra vez.

Dear Houseforo, I'm really sorry. Normally I love trying to help with translations. I looked at yours, then I thought, well, why should I bother when the English is so carelessly written?

It really is, and make very many typos myself.. But this is beyond typos..

Lo siento.

Well he is from Bulgaria Annie so we will have to forgive his imperfect English. - kenwilliams, May 17, 2012
It's really strange answer,since your english is really strangly ordered (gramatically) but thanks for your time. - hous4o, May 18, 2012
