There are many native English speakers here, most of us can offer great suggestions to the English sentences. I will do my best to go through them all, too. Use today's Word of the Day in your own Spanish sentence (and include the English translation as well). Try to use the word in a completely new way and vote on the sentences you like best. The winner will be chosen based upon the correct use of the word as well as the number of votes.
Guidelines:
Write sentences at least 5 words long, but don't write a paragraph either. Write your Spanish sentence, but include the English translation as well. Make the corrections suggested by other users and moderators in the comments section (try not to use personal pronouns unless absolutely necessary). Use your own words! (Don't use a translator, copy from a book, use song lyrics, etc.) Please keep political, religious or personal statements to a minimum. This is a practice game.

Los perezosos descienden de la seguridad de sus ramas al suelo para defecar una vez cada semana, y hacerlo es muy peligroso y quema una considerable cantidad de energía para un animal tan aletargado- por eso los biólogos han intentado descubrir para qué los perezosos hacen esto. La teoría actual es que tiene algo que ver con una relación simbiótica compleja entre los perezosos, las polillas que viven en su pelaje y procrearse en su heces y la alga verde que crece en la pelaje, de la que los perezosos obtienen nutrientes necesarios.
Sloths descend from the security of their branches to the ground once every week, and doing so is very dangerous and burns a considerable amount of energy for an animal that is so torpid- because of this biologists have tried to find out why the sloths do this. The current theory is that it has something to do with a complex symbiotic relationship between the sloths, the moths that live in their fur and procreate in their feces and the green algae that grows in the fur, from which the sloths obtain necessary nutrients.

Cuando vi la palabra “rama” creía de la frase “Domingo de Ramos” pero como ustedes puedan ver es otra palabra “ramo”, por eso pensé “¿Cuál es la diferencia entre las dos palabras?” Busqué en el diccionario* y descubrí que “rama” quiere decir 1) Cada una de las partes de una planta que nacen del tronco o tallo principal y en las que, generalmente, brotan las hojas,flores y frutos. 2) Cada una de las áreas en que se divide una ciencia o disciplina (y hay otras definiciones); y “ramo” quiere decir 1) Manojo de flores, hierbas y ramas. 2) Rama de segundo orden. 3) Rama cortada del árbol. Pero la cosa importante para mí es que ni rama ni ramo quiere decir “palma.” (¡uf! Sonrisa)
When I saw the word “rama” I was thinking about the phrase “Palm Sunday”, but as you can see it is another word “ramo”, therefore I thought “What’s the difference between the two words?" I looked in the dictionary and discovered that “rama” means 1) each one of the parts of a plant that sprouts from the trunk or main stalk and on which, generally, leaves, flowers and fruit bud. 2) Each of the areas into which a science or discipling are divided (there are other definitions - basically it’s “branch” in English); and “ramo” means 1) A bunch of flowers, plants and branches. 2) A secondary branch. 3) A branch cut from a tree. But the important thing for me is that neither “rama” nor “ramo” means “palm”. (whew! Grin)
