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.

Si quieres contribuir al bienestar de tus hijos, preocuparse preocúpate de tus propios fondos de jubilación, para que tus hijos no tengan que rescatarte de líos financieros y quizás incluso hereden un poco de dinero.

If you want to contribute to the well-being of your children, see to your own retirement funds, so that your children do not have to rescue you from financial messes and maybe even inherit a little money.

El bienestar , según Whiskey,es el sentido de confort y de estar contentos juntos en el sofá después de correr el circuito del jardín 48 veces a máxima velocidad . Ayuda, claro, si hay algo bueno de comer, y una película interesante en la televisión, pero lo mas importante es hacer sus ejercicios de entrenamiento y después echarse una siesta con los amigos.

Wellbeing, according to Whiskey, is the feeling of comfort and of being happy together in the sofa after running around the garden training circuit 48 times at top speed. It helps, of course, if there is something good to eat and a decent film on telly , but the most important thing is to do your training exercises and afterwards take a break, in the company of friends .

Sería bien si todo el mundo podría lograr bienestar. Desafortunademente creo que la población del mundo es tan grande que esto no va a ser posible.

It would be good if everyone could achieve well-being. Unfortunately I think the population of the world is now so large that this is not going to be possible.

"The welfare and education of our students is our greatest concern, "said the Dean of the University of Rochester. "Really?!" retorted the President of the Student Union, sarcastically, "Well, in that case, perhaps you could explain to us all why more than half of them are having to live on the streets because there is insufficient student accommodation for them?! The professor was lost for words! wink

<< ¡El bienestar y la educación de nuestros estudiantes es nuestro mejor interés! >> Dijo el decano de la universidad de Rochester. << ¿De verdad! >> Contestado el presidente de la asociación de estudiantes, con sarcasmo*, << Bueno, en este caso, ¿quizás pueda explicar a todos nosotros, porque más de la mitad de ellos tienen que seguir viviendo en las calles porque no hay suficiente alojamiento de estudiantes para ellos! >> ¡El profesor no supe qué decir! wink
