- 1) Both 美满 and 快乐 can be used as adjectives or nouns, according the the context. 美满 literally means "beautiful and satisfactory". It is formal and is not often used in oral conversation. It is often used to express your wish in written situation, e.g. at the end of letter, e-mail or SMS. 快乐 can be used in both oral and written situation. 2) I don't understand your question. (i) Your question in Chinese has no error in construction and is perfectly understandable. (ii) 上海话 is a dialect of Chinese. It has the same construction with that of 普通话, but the pronunciation and some words are different. 3)The consonant 'd' in Pinyin is actually equivalent to [t] (Voiceless alveolar stop) in IPA. It is the Spanish 't' as in 'tiene'. But you should know that it is NOT the same with either English 't' or English 'd', which in IPA is [t^h] and [d] respectively.

我的假期是好的很棒。 //It is OK to say "是好的", but it is like a rigid translation. Chinese people tend to add "很" when describing something with adjectives. e.g. My school is beautiful. 我的学校很漂亮。We rarely say 我的学校是漂亮的。
我很伤心，因为我要回去工作。 //here 要 means "have to", you can also replace it by "必须" or "得"(děi).
我需要咖啡。 //OK

今天是除夕。 //OK. Note: in China, 除夕 is usually referred to as the day before Chinese New Year, a.k.a. the Spring Festival (春节)
我想看到的烟花。 //The character 的 is redundant here. Acutally it makes this sentence confusing. I guess you want to say 我想看到烟花 (I want to watch the fireworks) or 我喜欢我看到的烟花 (I like the fireworks that I saw)
新年快乐！//OK. 新年快乐！写得不错！中文里有一些和英语的表达方式不一样的地方，希望你以后多加留意。
Good job! I hope my corrections can help you. You may notice the differences of some phrases between Chinese and English in your further study. Happy New Year!

今天一位老师来我们的班和说: 学生同学们, 我们的大学有新课。你们大家要报名体育课报名。我们准备了几门课 你能上: 打篮球, 网球, 排球, 羽毛球, 踢足球, 游泳, 跑步,太极拳 或者舞蹈跳舞。一二三年级挤都要在星期三四点半在体育馆报名。 我不知道我该上游泳课还是舞蹈课, 我游泳课或者跳舞课上课。我是一年级学生, 但是我的好朋友玛丽是三年级的学生,我想问她星期三去报名什么体育课去。下午下课以后我找玛丽。玛丽都有课。我在教室外面教师前边等了一会儿。 玛丽说,去年他们只能上打篮球,踢足球,游泳或者跑步课上课 。他她去了游泳课。她说游泳课的老师很好,她原先不会游泳,现在她能泳不休一直不停地游一个小时。现在她也不知道,她想去游泳课或者还是跳舞课去。我们觉得问我们的好朋友罗兰更好是好意思。 罗兰是四年级的学生,她不用上不要去体育课,但是她自己想。她很喜欢锻炼身体。 我们来宿舍找罗兰,她正在写作业。我问: 罗兰,你想不想去体育课? 她说当然想去,但是她游泳和跳舞都报名。玛丽和我不想去两门体育课。我们也喜欢锻炼身体,但是没有时间。到星期三我们都想好了很多思报名什么课报名。星期三四点我跟玛丽一起骑车去大学, 但是我的车不好,我们来不及,跳舞舞蹈课太挤我们只能报名游泳课报名。
Good job!
Here is some tips: in Chinese the verb is usually before the object. 报名 here is a verb and it should be placed before 体育课. 上课 means "take a class", so we say 上游泳课 ("take swimming class") instead of 游泳课上课.
Also, note that 打篮球 is "playing basketball". As in English we say either "play basketball" or "take basketball class", but not "take playing basketball class", in Chinese we say either 打篮球 or 上篮球课, but we don't say 上打篮球课. As we usually put a noun before 课, we say 舞蹈课 more often because 舞蹈 is a noun but 跳舞 is a verb.
来不及 is a phrase meaning "can't do something because the time is limited"
0 votedDecember 28, 20131- Una serie de TV emocionante -- el Gran Hotel La pasada semana vi el Gran Hotel, una serie de TV de España. Es muy interesante y emocionante. Vi el Gran Hotel con subtítulo chino y español porque no entiendo las palabras que los actors y actrices hablan sólo con mi oído. Los actors jovens son muy guapo y la primera actriz que juega Alicia es guapa. Sé que la tercera época de esta serie es en TV en España pero sólo puedo ver la primera época con subtítulo. El subtítulo está hecho por las gentes que español es muy bien y que les gusta esta serie en el Internet. Espero poder ver la segunda época pronto. ¿Hay alquien que ha visto esta serie?December 26, 201340
The weather in Beijing
Now the most prevalent word in China is the haze. I want to share a joke happened in this morning -- that was when i took a taxi in this morning, I was confused when the driver told said to me that "Good morning, and you should choose a red or a green or a yellow clothes to capture my attention", and then he explained to me "only the colour of the traffic light is distinct, your khaki clothes made u dissolved in the haze".
Yeah, it is a joke but it cannot make anyone simle smile.Hello, I am not a native English speaker but I hope my correction helps.
Your note is OK except for some spelling mistakes. Here are some suggestions:
You mentioned the joke happened in the morning, so you don't need to mention it again in your joke.
"choose a red or a green or a yellow clothes" can be expressed more concisely: "choose a clothes in red, green or yellow".
I think "say to me" is better than "tell me" in the situation where you are telling a story and quoting his words directly.
Finally, is there still haze in Beijing now? I thought this story is more likely to happen in Shanghai days ago:)
0 votedDecember 25, 20130This is how we celebrate Christmas in Madrid.
On the 24th of December, we celebrate Christmas Eve time in some familiar's house. We met all together for dinner something special a special dinner. It's We typically to eat shrimps and something like turkey or pork.
At 21:30 9:30pm, the Spanish king comes came out in the TV to say his Christmas message. In it, he talked about the the year that has passed and wishes all of us a merry Christmas.
In the national TV channel, they broadcast some cheesy special shows of people dancing and singing, and it's typically an annoying singer called Raphael that sings the song El Tamborilero. Argh!
When the clock strikes midnight, It's time to search the presents which have been hidden in the house by Papa Noel (well, in my family don't like Papa Noel, as we are tradicional Christians, and at my house, comes El Niño Jesus)
This is the time when all the kids (and not so kids) go searching throughout all the house, until they find it.
I have very good memories on doing this when I was a kid, so I put special care in my nephews, so they could have good memories when they grow up too.Thank you for sharing how you celebrate Christmas in Spain. ¡Feliz Navidad!
I am not a native English speaker myself but I hope my correction helps.
When we express when we do something on a specific day, we use "on" + the date or the day of the week. In Spanish we say "Tenemos fiestas los sábados." but in English we say "We have parties on Saturdays."
In English-speaking country, people prefer to use "12-hour time + am/pm" to express the time. So I changed 21:30 to 9:30pm. I don't think it is an error, though.
