sentence corrections

Question

I have picked some words from my vocabulary that I am working on and wrote sentences using them. I would greatly appreciate if someone could look through them and suggest any grammer changes.

Muchas gracias por su ayuda

We like snowboarding. – Nos gusta hacer snowboard.

My job is boring. – Mi trabajo es aburrido.

This is fun. –Esto es divertido.

I don’t like playing most sports. – No mi gusta jugar la mayoría de los deportes.

I think history is interesting. – Creo que historia es interesante.

On Mondays I go to the shelter and help others. – En lunes voy al refugio y ayudar a otros.

I think it's just a typo but 'no me gusta jugar la mayoría...' - pml222, Aug 31, 2012

Answer 1

I don't like playing most sports. –No mi gusta jugar la mayoría de los deportes.

Maybe just a typo, but should be "me gusta"

On Mondays I go to the shelter and help others. – En lunes voy al refugio y ayudar a otros.

I think it should be "los lunes"

Those are the things I noticed, but overall I think you did a good job

Oh, also

I am one semester away from getting a degree. – Soy un semestre lejos de obtener un grado.

This is my best attempt, but I'm still learning, but maybe the translation "Queda un semestre para obtener un título" would work, or something similar...At the very least, I'm pretty sure that one would use título for degree, at least according to the question here and the dictionary says "grado" is used for degree when it means extent (e.g., extent of risk) or in math/temperature (diez grados - 10 degrees)

Answer 2

I think history is interesting. – Creo que la historia es interesante.

I am one semester away from getting a degree. – Me falta un semestre para que obtenga una licenciatura/un título universitario.
