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.

La temporada navideña es el momento para mostrar nuestro lado más humano, más generoso, y dar todo lo que podamos no solo a nuestra propia familia sino que a los que lo más necesitan también.

carta de niño pobre

The yule-tide is the time of year to show our most human side, our most generous side and give whatever we might be able to not just to our own family but also to those most in need.

Me asombro de qué tan generoso sea es Pablo; él siempre corrige nuestros mensajes sin pedir nada- no me sorprendería si algunos creyera que es empleado de SpanishDict, pero no.

I am amazed how generous Pablo is; he always corrects our posts without asking for anything- it would not surprise me if some people believed that he is a SpanishDict employee, but he is not.

He's just a really great and special person. :) - rac1, Dec 28, 2015
I pray that we keep him, always. The time he spends correcting my posts alone is the very definition of gernerosity. Great post, Bosque. :D - jrschenk, Dec 28, 2015
I just hope he is okay with me pointing this out. :) - bosquederoble, Dec 28, 2015
Typo above: I meant to say generosity. - jrschenk, Dec 28, 2015
