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.

Esta tarde vi la película A ciegas,una película muy interesante. En la vida real se han desarrolado muchas legislaciones en numerosos países del mundo para ayudar a las personas ciegas, y espero que nunca lleguemos a la situacón de la peli, desorden total y destrución de la civilización.

This evening I watched the film ' Blindness' , a very interesting movie. In real life a lot of countries in the world have developed legislation to help the blind and I hope we will never find ourselves in the situation of the film, total disorder and destruction of our civilization.

Cuando te enfrentas a problemas tan numerosos que no crees que puedas resolverlos todo, recuerda que es mejor tratar con ellos y solucionar algunos que evitarlos y lograr nada.

When you are facing problems so numerous that you do not think that you can resolve everything, remember that it is better to deal with them and solve some than to avoid them and achieve nothing.
