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.

It sure is Jr: "If there's anything around here more important than my ego I want it caught and shot." I see comparisons between Zaphod and another political figure are being made at present :) - jellonz, Aug 30, 2017
Two heads, one person Amber. Zaphod Beeblebrox, President of the Galaxy. A character from Douglas Adams' "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy." - jellonz, Aug 30, 2017
Oh, and "Hoopy" covers a spectrum from "amazing" through to "really with it." It's a great word, but never caught on unfortunately. - jellonz, Aug 30, 2017

Es asombroso ver creciendo a tus niños. A veces pueden ser frustrante y trabajo duro, pero solo una sonrisa y todo es perdonado.

It's amazing watching your children growing up. At times they can be frustrating and hard work, but just one smile and everything is forgiven.

En la edad moderna, con noticias que vienen de todas partes del mundo por televisión y por Internet, se hace cada vez más difícil encontrar algo verdaderamente asombroso, y también nos acostumbramos al sufrimiento que ocurre por muchas partes del mundo.

In the modern age, with news that comes from all parts of the world by television and internet, it becomes increasingly difficult to find something truly amazing, and we also become inured to the suffering that occurs in many parts of the world.
