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. For the Spanish sentences, edit your posts according to the native Spanish speaker's suggestions. 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.

enter image description here

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.

Please encourage everyone with a vote. Remember those who arrive late. smile

He tenido problemas sin fin con mi conexión al internet desde que cambiamos de conexión por 'dongle' a conexión por linea fija, que debería ser mejor , pero no lo es. Ya espero que el ordenador no me vaya a decir : se ha agotado el tiempo de conexión con el servidor. Como es Semana Santa no hay esperanza de ver al técnico hasta el martes, a lo mejor.

I've had endless problems with my internet connection since we changed from connection via ' dongle' to connection through a land-line, which ought to be better, but isn't. Now I only hope that the computer won't tell the that my session with the server has timed out. As it is Easter there is no hope of sighting the engineer before Tuesday, at best.

a lo mejor= perhaps. "en el mejor de los casos" would be the way to go, I think. Of course, take any of my comments about corrections with a big grain of salt as I frequently don't know what I'm talking about. What is dongle? - Sassette, Apr 3, 2015
I wish you luck, Annie. :) - rac1, Apr 3, 2015

...he tenido un sin fin de problemas (that's the order it's always 'un sin fin de')...ahora espero que el ordenador no me diga 'se ha agotado' (vaya a decir is okay anyway)..I agree with tipa you can say 'en el mejor de los casos or con suerte' :) - Pablo064, Apr 3, 2015

Hay elementos que se llaman "tierras raras" los que son muy importantes para la fabricación de aparatos electrónicos; la mayor parte de estos actualmente provienen de China, que ha proclamado que sus minas están casi agotadas. Nadie sabe si sólo es una artimaña para subir el precio, pero ahora hay intentos de desarrollar otras fuentes, como minas en otros países, desde el lecho del mar, y mediante el reciclaje de piezas electrónicas.

There are elements referred to as "rare earths" which are very important for the manufacture of electronic apparatus'; the biggest part of those currently come from China, which has proclaimed that its mines are almost depleted. No one knows if this is only a ruse for the purpose of raising the price, but now there are attempts to develop other sources, like mines in other countries, from the seabed, and by means of recycling electronic parts.

I think they should recycle for sure. - rac1, Apr 3, 2015
I am a big fan of curbside recycling- and I think people are more apt to recycle the easier you make it for them. I have systems in development in UK that sort all the recyclables out of the trash, so people don't even have to do it. :) - bosquederoble, Apr 3, 2015
