No hay ninguna telenovela que yo odie, pero una que no me gusta es Roseanne. Roseanne es la historia de una familia americana pobre en Illinois. Trata sobre una familia de cinco miembros: la mujer, el marido y tres hijos. La familia lucha con los problemas de la vida. La telenovela es muy aburrida. EmpezÃ³ en 1998, y las reposiciones las echan en Nickelodeon. El programa es ruidoso y molesto. He visto unos pocos episodios y no son divertidos. Roseanne Barr, la protagonista, es gorda y molesta, y su voz es irritante. Sus bromas no son divertidas; ella es repulsiva, mandona y vulgar, y sus hijos unos chillones. TambiÃ©n ponen Roseanne siempre en Nickelodeon por la noche. Nunca he visto un episodio completo. Cuando aparece en la televisiÃ³n, siempre cambio de canal. Puesto que es un programa molesto, no me gusta.

A few things:
- TV show means "programa"... I think "telenovela" would be more like a serial, but IÂ´m not sure... IÂ´ve use both terms in the translation, to avoid repeating the same expression.
- Try not to use Roseanne so many times. You can skip it in many sentences if you have previosly used that word.
- Â¿Is Nickelodeon a TV channel? IÂ´m spanish so I donÂ´t really know.

Please do correct me if my english or my translation are wrong, thanks!

Hey guys, i'm currently in a spanish 105 (second year spanish) class in college and my teacher is a pretty rough grader. i was wondering if there was anyone willing to proofread my assignment.

I had to write 10-15 lines on a tv show that i hate. i chose rosanne, but it was hard to write 10-15 lines about it so the writing is very redundant and elementary. here it is:

English: There isn't a tv show that i hate. But, one tv show that i do not like is roseanne. roseanne is the story of a poor American family in Illinois. Roseanne is about a family with five people: a wife, a husband, and three children. the family struggles with life problems. the tv show is very boring. the tv show started in 1998 and the reruns come on Nickelodeon. the the tv show, they are loud and annoying. i have seen a few episodes and they are not funny. roseanne barr, the main character, is fat and annoying. also, her voice is very irritating. her jokes are not funny. she is repulsive, bossy, and vulgar. Roseanne's children are noisy. also, roseanne is always on nickelodeon at night. i have never seen a full episode of roseanne. when roseanne comes on tv, i always change the channel. since roseanne is an annoying show, i do not like it.

Spanish: No hay una telenova que yo odio. Pero, una telenovela que no me gusta es Roseanne. Roseanne es el cuento de una familia Americana pobre en Illinois. Roseanne estÃ¡ acerca de una familia de cinco personas: una esposa, un esposo, y tres niÃ±os. La familia lucha con problemas de vida. La telenova es muy aburrida. La telenova empezÃ³ en 1988 y las repeticiones vienen en Nickelodeon. En la telenova, ellos son siempre fuertes y molestas. He visto unos pocos episodios y ellos no son chistosos. Roseanne Barr, el personaje principal, es gorda y molesta. TambiÃ©n, su voz es muy irritante. Sus chistes no son cÃ³micos. Ella es repulsiva, mandÃ³n y vulgar. Los niÃ±os de Roseanne son ruidosos. TambiÃ©n, Roseanne siempre es en Nickelodeon de noche. Yo nunca he visto un episodio repleto de Roseanne. CuÃ¡ndo Roseanne estÃ¡ en la televisiÃ³n, yo siempre cambio el canal. Desde que Roseanne es una telenova molesta, no me gusta.

Thanks
