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 speakers 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 importante vivir en un entorno de amistad y cariño, lo que siempre ha sido SD. Esperemos que siga así.

it is important to live in a friendly and loving environment, something SD has always been.. Let's hope it stays that way.

Of course I want peace but sadly because of what happened I will never feel as comfortable contributing again on SD, particularly if I want to start a thread. - Sassette, Aug 26, 2017
The damage is permanent but I have decided to keep doing my thing. I know I'm a good person and only want to do good things. If people have a problem with that then there's nothing I can do about it. - Sassette, Aug 26, 2017

Cuando era un niño no había tal cosa como el medio ambiente simplemente la gran granja en la que vivia. Sola una broma chicos.

When i was a boy there was no such thing as the environment simply the great farm I lived in . Just a joke guys.

El entorno en el bosque hoy no era muy agradable. Mi amiga y yo y nuestros caballos fueron atacados y picados por avispas. Ella fue picada en la oreja, y fui picada en el labio. Su caballo fue picado varias veces. Con suerte, mi caballo escapó sin picadura.

The environment in the woods today was not very nice. My friend and I and our horses were attacked and stung by wasps. She was stung on her ear, and I was stung on the lip. Her horse was stung several times. Luckily, my horse wasn't stung.

We should take care of our environment for our own good and for the next generations.

With corrections:

We should take care of our environment for our own good and for future generations

Deberíamos cuidar nuestro medio ambiente (entorno) por nuestro propio bien y por las próximas generaciones.

Thanks for your corrections smile

I just realized "entorno" it's the WOTD O.O

La palabra "environment" es traducida aquí como "entorno". Me parece bien que así lo sea. ¿Qué les parece la palabra "medio ambiente" como su traducción? O como dicen algunos sabedores simplemente "ambiente" porque para qué vamos a usar solamente el 50%?

Además me gustaría preguntar si también la palabra "entorno" no les suena a "entourage" en francés o inglés. Por ejemplo:

El presidente y su séquito /entorno viajarán a Turquía.

Esta es una ciencia que estudia el medio ambiente,

Why not "medio ambiente for environment? I accept "entorno" of course but I'm really used to "medio ambiente". And about "entorno" , doesn't it sound a little like "entourage"?

Is medio ambiente used more for the natural environment, while entorno can be for the work environment and similar?? - jennysk, Aug 26, 2017
@jennysk, There's entorno natural (natural environment) & entorno social (social setting). - NKM1974, Aug 26, 2017
We use medio ambiente for all the things connected with ecology and entorno more with what surrounds people but both are acceptable. - polenta1, Aug 26, 2017
For work we use ambiente and not medio ambiente but entorno is also possible but less used. - polenta1, Aug 26, 2017

This is the way we use "medio ambiente", "ambiente" and "entorno" but of course using "entorno" as "environment" would be ok though a little weird for us. I wonder how it's used in all Spanish-speaking countries.

La ecología estudia el medio ambiente.
El uso excesivo de sustancias no biodegradables contamina el medio ambiente.
La tala de bosques en el mundo entero afecta el medio ambiente.
Hoy en día los niños toman conciencia de la necesidad de preservar el medio ambiente.

El ambiente en el que se forma un niño es muy importante para su desarrollo posterior.
En la oficina donde yo trabajo se ha creado un ambiente muy feo.
Estar en un ambiente lleno de humo es perjudicial para la salud.

Hay carencias en el entorno familiar de estos niños (also ambiente)
Los adulones que hay en el entorno del dictador le hacen creer que es invencible.
El propio entorno del senador le sugirió que renunciara.
