Hay un Dios

Creo que el mundo es loco. Enciendo la televisión y veo la guerra. Cambio el programa y oigo los niños llorando de hambre. Veo las mujeres desesperadas. Hay inundaciones y terremotos. Cuando veo todas estas cosas yo cerro mis ojos. Entonces miro fuera la ventana. Veo muchos arboles verdes y el cielo azul. Es tranquilo. Hay un Dios!

I believe this world is crazy. I turn on the television and I see war. I change the program and I hear children crying from hunger. I see desperate women. There are floods and earthquakes. When I see all these, I close my eyes. Then I look outside the window. I see green trees and the blue sky. It is peaceful. There is a God!

Hi there Evie! This was just brilliant, really, I'm amazed. Let's take a look at the few minor mistakes, okay?

Hay un Dios

1. Creo que el mundo ESTÁ loco. Why do we use the verb "estar" instead of "ser"? Because being crazy is a quality that changes with time, you know. It's not like the world's always been crazy, I guess. Maybe it was perfectly sane when none of us were around. And you know how to conjugate that verb, right? Yo estoy, tú estás, él/ella ESTÁ. That's it.

2. Enciendo la televisión y veo guerra. Just like in English, there's no need for the article if you're not talking about a precise thing, you know what I mean? If you're talking about war in Afghanistan, it's okay to say "la guerra", like saying "that one", you know. But to tell the truth, the way you wrote it is also correct, of course.

3. Cambio el programa y veo niños llorando de hambre. Same here with those children, you see? No need for the article there. The rest was perfect!

4. Veo mujeres desesperadas. No need to tell, right? I know you know already.

5. Hay inundaciones y terremotos. No mistakes. Thumbs up!

6. Cuando veo todas estas cosas cierro LOS ojos. Well, just two minor things here: first of all, you know we tend to omit the subject any time we can, and this time of course we can, 'cause it's clear you're talking about yourself. No need for saying "yo" there. And the other thing is "cierro LOS ojos". Why "los" instead of "my"? Because it would be difficult for you to "close" anybody else's eyes, you know what I mean? Everytime you close someone's eyes, it's gonna be yours. Something different would be "tapar los ojos", which is to cover somebody's eyes with your hands, you know what I mean?

7. Entonces miro fuera DE la ventana. In Spanish you would say "I look outside OF the window. If you were looking through the window glass, you would say then "Entonces miro A TRAVÉS DE la ventana". Good Evie!

8. Veo muchos árboles verdes y el cielo azul. Tilde on the "a" of "árboles". But tildes are pretty picky and, really, there's no need for that now. I just tell you because you know, I guess it's always good to know. Great!

9. Está tranquilo. Remember what we said about the world being crazy? This is the same. If there was a couple arguing outside your house it wouldn't be so peaceful, right? So, since it's something that can change, we would use the verb "estar" instead of "ser". Got it?

10. ¡Hay un Dios! We use that weird sign everytime we're starting a sentence that's gonna end with "!". It looks like an "i", the vocal I mean, but it's not an "i" at all, you know.

And that's all! Keep it up Evie, you're doing great. May God protect tu casa.
