Today Hi, I am going to describe my day, since I got up until now, while I am writing this lines. Only in order to practice my writing, because I know you don´t matter about it, obviusly. ;) Also I didn´t do nothing special today. Let´s go, I started getting up at seven o´clock, and having breakfast, as usual: orange juice, toasts with butter and jam, nuts, banana and strawberries, and then a cup of cofee with milk at the cafe. I always have enjoyed breakfast , for me is the best meal. Then I had to go to work until seven p.m. and I don´t say nothing about because it would be long and boring, so better we go directly to the dinner,at 21 p.m. It consists in two sandwiches and some fruit, and then I have read some documents which I needed for work. And now, of course, I am trying to write something with sense in English...

Hi, I am going to describe my day, since I got up until now (?), while I am writing this lines. I'm doing this just Only in order to practice my writing, because I know you don´t matter about it, obviusly. ;) Also I didn´t do nothing anything (nunca usamos dos palabras negativas juntos; didn't + nothing --> didn't + anything) special today.
Let´s go start.  I started by getting up at seven o´clock and having breakfast, as usual: orange juice, toast (siempre decimos "toast"...singular como "bread"; no es como "tostadas" en espanol)  = with butter and jam, nuts, a banana and strawberries, and then a cup of coffee with milk at the cafe. I have always enjoyed breakfast, for me is the best it is my favorite meal. Then I had to go be to work ("to go" me parace como "caminar" o "conducir tu coche" hasta las 7...pero en realidad "to be" = estar...es mejor) until seven 7 p.m. (se usa "7" en vez de "seven" con "pm") and I don´t won't say nothing anything (2 palabras negativas!!) about because it would be long and boring, so we had better go directly to the dinner,at 21 9 p.m. ("pm" dura solo 12 horas (1200-medianoche)...no tiene sentido usar "21")  It consists in consisted of (consistir en = "consist of"; y la comida ocurrio en el pasado..."consisted") two sandwiches and some fruit, and then I have read some documents ("papers" seria mejor) which that I needed for work. And now, of course, I am trying to write something with sense that makes sense ("make sense" = tener sentido) in English...

Es dificil saber cuando usar "which" y "that", pero por lo general se usa "which" cuando la siguiente frase anade mas informacion sobre la cosa y "that" cuando la siguiente frase excluye una parte de (un grupo de) la cosa.  Pej..."Barcelona, which is beautiful..." --> mas informacion sobre Barcelona; "the dog that has the spots" --> se separa/excluye los otros tipos de perros sin manchas.  Mas...
