yes, I know, but Sra. takes off points if I use a word we haven't learned. I don't know if we learned it before, though

My favorite restaurant is the Chinese International Buffet. I like the food there. You can order different drinks: soda, water, or tea. You can’t order food there; but you can eat all you want. There is also dessert; my favorite is the ice cream, with different flavors: vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry. I like the vanilla ice cream the best of all the ice cream. The food there is very delicious. I like the General Tso’s Chicken and roast chicken. They are spicy and delicious. There are also Chinese vegetables and other meats: fish, pork, duck, etc.


Mi restaurante favorito es Chinese International Buffet. Me gusta la comida allí. Puedes pedir bebidas diferentes: el refresco, el agua, o el té. No puedes pedir la comida allí; pero tú puedes comer todos tú quieres. Hay los postres también; mi favorito es el helado, con sabores diferentes: la vainilla, chocolate, y fresa. Me gusta más el helado de vainilla de todos los helados. La comida allí es muy delicioso. Me gusta el pollo de General Tso y pollo de ______ (roast). Están picantes y deliciosos. Está verduras de chino y otros “meats”: el pescado, el carne de res, ________ (duck), etc.


How is this?

(watch noun-adjective agreement) Me gusta (watch subject and verb agreement) el pollo de General Tso y (missing an article here) pollo de (roast) (look up the adjective roast and match gender). Están (wrong 'to be' verb) picantes y deliciosos. Está (use the verb that means there are) verduras de chino (use the adjective Chinese - match gender and number) y otros “meats” (pluralize the noun meat and then make the adjective that precedes it match the gender - it already matches the number): el pescado, el carne de res, ________ (duck) (look up duck), etc.

Hints given above.

Watch gender and/or number agreement.
Wrong word.

You're welcome! There is one error I overlooked. I mentioned it earlier but the fix wasn't made. Look at this sentence again:
Me gusta el pollo General Tso y el pollo asado.

Don't change y to e. I highlighted the conjunction to help you see that there was more than one subject and that the verb needed to be changed to agree in number.

Y changes to e when the word that follows it begins with i or hi.

Sosia, a literal translation wouldn't be understood. It's better to say congratulations on your perfect score (la puntuación perfecta).

I found instances where people say congratulations for your ..., but it isn't as common.

Actually, I was wondering about that. What was Sosia thinking in Spanish?

I looked for "pleno", and "full" was the most suitable. (like "full hand" in poker.
Bur the best translation is "congratulations on your perfect score"
the literal translation doesn't work
saludos
