We had guests two days in a row. We served potato salad both days. As an ex-boxer guest of the first day ate a lot, I made a lot of potato salad the next day. But the guest of the second day ate normal amount of it and a lot of potato salad was left. I think we will eat it several days. However, I'm glad we had wonderful time with them.

Over the past two days we have had guests come over for a meal. We served both guests potato salad. The first, was an ex-boxer who ate a lot of food. As a result I made a lot of potato salad the next day but the second guest ate just a normal amount. I had a large amount of potato salad now which is uneaten, but I hope to consume it over the next couple of days. However despite this, I am glad they came over because we had a wonderful time with them.

We had guests two days in a row. We served potato salad both days. As*1 an ex-boxer guest of the first day ate a lot, I made a lot of potato salad the next day. But the guest of the second day ate (a) normal amount of it and*2 a lot of potato salad was left. I think we will eat it (for) several days. However, I'm glad we had (a) wonderful time with them.

You did well! 本当に分かりやすい!

*1 こんなほうがいいと思う;

"-Because- an ex-boxer guest ate a lot -on the first day-"

At the start of a sentence, "because" is better than "as"

Its also best to put -time- and -place- at the end of the sentence

It also sounds a bit better, if you put the sentence with the -explanation- or the -cause-, behind the main sentence;

"I made a lot of potato salad on the second day, because an ex-boxer guest ate a lot on the first day"


*2 "..ount of it, so a lot of potato salad was left over"

"to be left over" means 'to not be fully eaten'. "left-overs" is food you save for the next day!
