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.

Es bueno encontrar un trabajo en el que haya actividades variadas. Casi nadie quiere hacer las mismas cosas todo el tiempo. No me gustaría trabajar en una linea de producción.

It's good to find a job in which there are varied activities. Almost nobody wants to do the same things all the time. I would not like to work on a production line.

Yes, traveling always gives one a new insight into things :-)! - Jraider, Jan 28, 2016
Exactly! :) - AndréYuhai, Jan 28, 2016
In this instance I would use, 'various". :) - rac1, Jan 28, 2016
English correction: You have "to" travel to.... I am also not sure if "variado" is the right word in Spanish but Pablo may let you know. - Jubilado, Jan 28, 2016
Oh thank you for correction Jubilado! - AndréYuhai, Jan 28, 2016
@ jubilado: I could do this, but Pablo has been invited. - Daniela2041, Jan 28, 2016
'viajar a países variados..' without article sounds good for the word of the day altough I would say 'a diversos países para conocer diversos tipos de culturas' :) - Pablo064, Jan 29, 2016
Thank you Pablo! :) - AndréYuhai, Jan 29, 2016

Una vida sin variedad sería muy aburrida, por eso hay que intentar cosas variadas, con la esperanza de descubrir una grand pasión o al menos una afición para algo nuevo .

A life without variety would be very boring and because of this one must try lots of different things in the hope of discovering a new passionate interest, or at least a new hobby.
