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.
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.

Me gusta reír, pero aún más me gusta hacer reír a los demás.
I like to laugh, but even more I like to make others laugh.
¿Cómo va el adagio? Quien ríe el último ríe mejor, o lo más alto, o durante un tiempo más largo o quizás sea que quien ríe el último piensa lo más lentamente o incluso no entiende el chiste.
How does the saying go? He who laughs last laughs best, or louder, or longer or perhaps it would be that he who laughs last thinks the slowest or doesn't even understand the joke.

La verdad es que Eva se sentía bastante aburrida en el paraíso. Adán era un hombre formal y quizás guapo, pero no había ninguna otra mujer con quién charlar, no había tiendas ni bailes. Los animales eran muy bonitos y mansos pero no había ningún peligro, ni siquiera un parque de Disney donde uno podía reír a carcajadas y gritar como loca y Eva era una amante de la adrenalina. Por eso ofrecí a Adán la fruta prohibida, solo para ver si pasaba algo un poco mas interesante, y que sí ¡ pasó!
The truth is that Eve felt rather bored in Paradise. Adam was a good bloke, maybe handsome as well, but there was no other woman to chat with, there were no shops or dances. The animals were very beautiful and tame but there was no danger at all, not even a Disney adventure park where one could shriek with laughter and shout like mad and Eve was a thrill-seeker. This is why she offered Adam the forbidden fruit, just to see if anything a bit more interesting might happen, and by God, it did.
