1. 我做不到: I can't do this. 2. 我住的房子: I live in a house (as opposed to an apartment or other type of dwelling). You can do it! Go for it! Cheering at sporting events. "加油! " Jiāyóu! Literally, add oil! I want to keep improving my Chinese: "我要讓我的華語進步" Wǒ yào ràng wǒ de huáyǔ jìnbù. Excuse me, I have questions: 对不起,我有一些问题。

In response to Andrew Donald: To translate "我住的房子" to "I live in a house" is incorrect. It is as Mansok said, "the house I live(d) in". The usage of 的 here is the equivalent of "that, which" in English. 的 can be used to indicate an adjective, and this is very useful when giving a rich description of something with many adjectives. For example, take a look at the structure of these sentences: 我的房子 = My house (you could also think of this as "the house which is mine"). 他住在一所10年前建造的房子 = He lives in a house which was built 10 years ago. 原来属于他父亲的房子 = The house which originally belonged to his father. "I live in a house" would be "我住在一所房子里".
