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!

The only thing to do is to stay on the verandah and reflect on life, but poor Wolfie is tied up to a post on the verandah because he's to wet to be indoors. An enormous and wet dog at my side makes it hard to meditate on life.
