I don’t have any pets.

Since my daughter and I are allergic, and we live in a flat, we don’t have any pets. I usually spend a lot of time with my friend Andrea. She has a caniche toy poodle. When she is walking her dog, she always phones me to go with her. Although I know that a pet isn't a toy, (because you [or "one"] must take it to the vet frequently, and must take care its feeding as well), I would still like to have one.

I have suggested a couple of changes to your sentence structure, which I hope will still keep the sense of what you wanted to say.

I love dogs, too, and would like to have a pet, but they are just too much responsibility for me!

Hi Moises, In English, we only have one form of the word "you". Unlike Spanish, "you" is used for everyone you address: friends, family, strangers, employers etc. "You are a good little boy". "May I give you my application for the job opening?" For this reason, English speakers learning Spanish or French (or other languages that have formal and informal forms of you) are often confused as to when to use each one. Hopefully, this will make it easier for you to do your translation. -Stephen

Day 28: I´m distracted and lose things.

Today I asked to my girlfriend what would be a good topic to talk (write) about, and she give me this idea.

I am distracted and always lose my keys, wallet or cellphone. I don´t know where I leave them. Despite that, I have a good memory and can remember dates, numbers and stories. Most people say that but I don´t pay attention to the objects. It's very common to see me looking for a pencil or document that I had a few seconds before.

I would be more inclined to say that he got them IN China. To me, that implies that he got them FROM somebody (or from several people) while he was IN China. That said, you would be understood should you use the other construction. To my ear and way of thinking, however, I think that getting the recipes IN China is more accurate. -Stephen
