So, this weekend, I had to write an essay about "My Hobbies and Weekends" for Chinese class. My usual strategy for these things is to write them in English first, using constructions that I know I can translate, and then translate them later. However, the necessity of using words and grammatical constructions that I can translate means that my English draft is... kinda special.

"Target is a good store. I buy food, notebooks, pens, and videos at Target."

"I like having a car. My car is red."

Those are the only really special bits, actually. The rest of it just sounds... not quite normal.

Hee. "I like having a car. My car is red."

Some of my favorite sentences I used back in high school Spanish class:

"Help, my grandmother is on fire! Do you have the instructions for the steamship?"

"How did this pickle get into the magical leather bag of mystery?"

"I would like a ham sandwich with a side of blue and a cup of dental assistants, please."

Paraphrasing...

"Do you drive a car?"
"Yes, I drive a car."
"Good bye."
