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.

Supongo que por lo menos algunos esperan que los candidatos se comporten con ecuanimidad está noche durante el debate, pero basado en eventos pasados, no estoy seguro de que esto suceda.

I suppose that at least some hope that the candidates will behave with equanimity tonight during the debate, but based on past events, I am not sure that this will happen.

Ecuanimidad, balance, igualdad, imparcialidad, estas palabras que se van alejando de la justicia, y esperamos que las se realizan .

Equanimity, balance, equality, fairness, are words that move away from justice, and hope that they materialize .

Si puedes mantener tu ecuanimidad mientras otros alrededor de tí se estan perdiendo la suya y volviéndose locos, es que No comprendes la situación!

If you can maintain your composure while others around you are losing theirs, and going crazy, it's just that You don't understand the situation!
