I don't think I posted this here, yet.

This is a fictional story.

Quote:
Me desperté a las seis de la mañana. Desayuné inmediatamente. Mi madre dijo, "Te recomiendo que te laves los dientes, a menos que quieras obtener carieses."

Dije, "Me lavaría los dientes, pero ¡la pasta de dientes me da asco!"

Finalmente, me lavé los dientes para que no perdiera ninguno de mis dientes.

Después, me duché. Me habría lavado el pelo si hubiera habido champú en la ducha. Luego, me puse mi camiseta favorita y los vaqueros. Me puse algunos calcetines, y mi madre me dijo que llevara unos calcetines que se hicieran juego. Entonces, busqué otros calcetines. Finalmente, me puse los zapatos. Cogí mi mochila y caminé a la parada de autobús. Me reuní con me mejor amiga. Ella dijo, "¿Recuerda lo de que yo hablaba ayer? Todos los novios que he tenido han sido deprimentes. Quiero encontrar un novio que sea alegre."

"Yo comprendo. Pero no comprendo por qué necesitas novio. Sugiero que te quedes soltera."

"¡Ya lo intenté! Pasó mal."

El autobús llegó. Embarcamos. Tomamos una silla juntos en parte delante del autobús. Vi a las otras personas que estaban sentadas alrededor de nosotros.

"Todos de nuestros compañeros de clase son estúpidos. ¡Quédate soltera!"

"Me quedaría soltera si ellos fueran los únicos hombres del mundo. Afortunadamente, se puede buscar novios afuera de la escuela."

El autobús se paró y embarcó el niño más estúpido que yo conocía.

"¡Hola, Melanie!" gritó Matthew. Yo gemí. Dije urgentemente a Melanie, "¡Hay una silla vacía justo al lado de la nuestra!" Melanie intentó esconderse. Matthew se sentó.

"¿Qué pasa?"

Melanie dijo, "Nosotros hablamos de que yo quiero encontrar un novio." ¿¡Por qué se lo dijo!? La golpeé.

"Pues, no sé si tú lo sabes, pero me gustaría ser tu novio."

"Pues," dijo Melanie con mucho asco, "saldría contigo, si no te detestara."


We had to use certain constructions, hence some of it sounding kind of silly.

I like it. smile But agree that some parts were really silly. I got confused a couple times, but then again, I am still learning Spanish.

Btw, just out of curiosity, how many years of Spanish have you taken?

Yeah, TS, how many years of Spanish have you taken?
Personally, I've taken (almost) 2 years of "Pre-IB" Spanish (Freshmen yr and currently during sophomore yr) and even though my teacher knows that I'm good at Spanish, he's not letting me switch to a higher Spanish class since I apparently have to "stay on the same level as the others for next year in IB" rolleyes . IB Ftl.

What's IB?
What does TS mean?
I've been learning spanish since I was 5 years old.
I've taken 4 classes in college and I got test credit for 2 others.

TS= Thread Starter
IB= International Baccaleaureate or however it's spelled...although I'm only in Pre-IB I'm beginning to think that IB is just a glorified title for AP-level classes rolleyes ...
And woah you've been taking Spanish for a long time o_o. Are you fluent?
 
PostPosted: Sat Dec 19, 2009 6:09 pm
No, I'm not fluent, because english has always been the dominant language in my home and in my community.
Oh, I use OP for original poster. I've never seen TS before.

I agree. Wording is a little... strange, but completely understandable.
