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.

En un intento esperanzador para hacer que China fuera fuerte y para defenderla contra los bárbaros del otro lado de la frontera, la dinastía Ming construyó un Gran Muralla, pero no previno que los Manchús invadiera y formara la siguiente dinastía, porque los Ming fracasó en hacer que su pueblo fuera feliz.

In a hopeful intent to make China strong and to defend it against the barbarians on the other side of the border, the Ming dynasty built a great wall, but it did not prevent the Manchus from invading and forming the next dynasty, because the Ming failed in making their people happy.

We have it good and don't know it, sometimes. - rac1, Jan 15, 2017
It is interesting that back then they thought that building a big wall would make the country strong, without having to take care of the people. :) - bosquederoble, Jan 16, 2017

Es muy esperanzador ver un letrero con las palabras de optimismo, pero es puede ser engañoso y tienes que trabajar mucho para alcanzar a buen futuro.

It is very hopeful to see a sign with words of optimism, but it can be misleading and you have to work hard to achieve a good future.

Esperar a Esperanza es una actividad no muy esperanzadora, porque esa chica necesita al menos tres horas para maquillarse y vestirse. ¡Ay del pobre que la tiene como novia!

To wait on Hope is not a very hopeful activity because that girl needs at least three hours to put on make-up and get dressed. Pity the poor guy that has her as a girlfriend.

Many women do that. I guess they don't see their natural beauty. :) - rac1, Jan 17, 2017
