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.

Cuando voy de viaje siempre me pongo nerviosa. No tengo miedo a volar, es que no me gustan los aeropuertos grandes con sus muchas puertas, sus colas y sus controles de seguridad interminables . Siempre me pasa algo raro como darme cuenta de que tengo un pequeño cuchillo plegable en el bolsillo , o mis botas de montaña activan la alarma. Es un alivio cuando el avion despega para el vuelo.
When I'm traveling I always get nervous. It' not that I'm afraid of flying, it is that I don't like the big airports with their many gate, their queues and their endless security checks. Something odd always happens to me, such as discovering that I have a small pen-knife in my pocket , or my sturdy walking-boots activate the alarm system. It's a relief when the plane takes off for the flight.
