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.

Recientemente tuve que ir al audiólogo para probar el oído. No está muy mal pero el oído se ha deteriorado desde hace unos pocos años. Por eso, he comprado los aparatos que mejorarán ** mi audición**, los audífonos.
Antes de comprarlos, descubrí que muchos audífonos son demasiado caros, y muchos audiólogos no son independientes ni muy éticos. Además, muchas personas que tienen audífonos no los usan porque no les gustan.
Entonces, afortunademente encontré una empresa aquí en Melbourne que ha inventado un tipo nuevo de audífono que es mejor y más barato que los demás. Se puedes comprarlos por el internet si quieres y hacer todos los ajustes por tu computadora. La empresa ha ganado muchos premios por su invento.
Recently I had to go to the audiologist to have my hearing tested. It's not very bad but my hearing has deteriorated in the past few years. Because of this I have bought the devices which will improve my hearing, hearing aids.
Before buying them I found out that many hearing aids are too expensive and many audiologists are not independent nor very ethical. Also, many people who have hearing aids don't use them because they don't like them.
Fortunately, then I found a company here in Melbourne which has invented a new type of hearing aid which is better and cheaper than the others. You can buy them over the internet if you want to and make all the adjustments through your computer. The company has won many prizes for its invention.
