This is what I want to translate:

Calista: Alycia, where would your dream home be and what would it look like?

Alycia: My ideal home would be in the suburbs. It would be near the city, but not in the city. It would be in a quiet neighborhood. It would be a big house with a fenced yard. It would have a big kitchen with plenty of room for cooking and family dinners. Alycia: What about you?

Calista: My ideal home would be in the city. It would be in a central location close to supermarkets. It would be two stories with various bathrooms. It would have plenty of room to expand.

Patsey: yes, extra room would be good.

Calista: Patsey, where would your dream home be and what would it look like?

Patsey: My ideal home would be near the city. It would be in a friendly and quiet neighborhood. It would have big windows for natural light. It would be surrounded by trees for privacy and shade.

Alycia: Yes, privacy is really important.

This is my attempt in Spanish:

Calista: Alycia, ¿Dónde sería su casa de ensueño y a qué parecería?

Alycia: Mi casa ideal sería en los suburbios. Sería cerca de la ciudad, pero no en la ciudad. Sería en un barrio tranquilo. Sería una gran casa con un patio cercado. Tendría una gran cocina con espacio para cocinar y cenas familia. Alycia: ¿Y tú?

Calista: Mi casa ideal sería en la ciudad. Sería en una ubicación central, cerca de los supermercados. Sería dos historias con diversos cuartos de baño. Habría un montón de espacio para ampliar.

Patsey: Si la habitación estaría bien.

Calista: Patsey, ¿Dónde sería su casa de ensueño y a qué parecería?

Patsey: Mi casa ideales sería cerca de la ciudad. Sería en un agradable y tranquilo barrio. Que tienen grandes ventanas de luz natural. Sería rodeado de árboles de sombra y privacidad.

Alycia: Sí, privacidad es importante.

Answer 1

Just cutting and pasting Calista's first question to Alycia in the translate function of this website gives: ¿Dónde estaría su casa de ensueño, ¿qué aspecto tendría?

Is that what you did or did you give this some thought with what you know about Spanish? My first question to you is: Didn't you learn that one of the primary differences between the verbs estar. and ser is that the first is used for location except for an event or party and I don't think a dream house is an event.

This looks more mechanical than human. Good luck with your studies. Work hard and you won't need luck.
