Spanish Oral Presentation Help?

Question

I need to make a speech so I would like it if you helped me out a bit. I will reward you with 5 stars if your answer is a big help to myself.
First of all does Soy De litterally translated mean I am from?
I think it does but I just want someone to confirm it.

Ok now this needs to be about1 minute long speech yet I dont want it to be to hard because I have to memorize it.

So heres what I want you to translate word for word

My Name is Nick. I am From Florida. I am sixteen years old. I have one dog. When I wake up I put on jeans and a t-shirt (if theres a simplier way to say this sent pls do mention it). I take a shower. Brush my teeth then put on sneakers.

This essay is about myself but I cant think of anything simple to add. Got any ideas what simple sentences of yourself would you add to this pls help!
How long would you consider what I wrote to be outloud (in spanish) So I have an Idea of how much I completed
Well thats what i need you to do translateandprovidetips

Hi, Good morning, My name is Nick (actually translates as "I'm called Nick" but you get it, right?) and I'm from Florida.

I'm 16 years old, and I also want to tell you that I have a dog. My dog is named (insert name). He's a (insert breed).

When I get up in the morning I take a shower and brush my teeth and then I put on my jeans and a t-shirt. Usually I wear tennis shoes.

If you want more , just email me. I'm not a native speaker, but live in Mexico. There may be better ways of saying these things, and I'm sure that someone here will correct me if so. Take care Nick........Rob

Answer 2

First of: "Soy de" does mean "I'm from", but in this case you might want to say "I live in" --> "Yo vivo en..." or simply "Vivo en...". They're pretty interchangeable though....

Me llamo Nick. Vivo en el estado de Florida. Tengo diesciseis años. Tengo un perro que se llama {insert dog's name}. Cuando me despierto en la mañana, me doy una ducha y me lavo los dientes. Despues me visto de jeans y camiseta y me pongo calcetines y zapatillas.

That's what you wrote up there (except I changed the order of the dressing/shower since I think you might wanna shower before you put on your jeans and t-shirt :-D), and it could take up to 30, 40 seconds if you reeaally milk it. If you want to add some more...

Luego tomo el desayuno y voy a la escuela. Mi clase favorita es [Español]. Despues de la escuela, me gusta [jugar al basquetbol / futbol americano / futbol / etc.] y/o [salir con amigos] y/o [jugar con mi perro].

This means...
Afterwards, I have breakfast and go to school. My favorite class is spanish (yes, yes it is cheesy, but teachers love it nonetheless). After school, I like [playing basketball / football / soccer (<-- choose one or separate with "y" if using more than one)] and/or [hanging out with friends] and/or [playing with my dog].

There are millions of activities you could add there, and I think even if you rushed through it, that should be plenty for a minute. Make sure you practice in front of a mirror and time yourself several times just in case though.

Answer 3

Mi nombre es Nic y soy de Florida. Tengo dieciseis años. Tengo un perro. Me gusta usar mi computadora y montar bicicleta en mi tiempo libre. Mi rutina cada mañana es despertarme, tomar una ducha, ponerme vaqueros y una camiseta, luego me lavo los dientes y me pongo unas zapatillas.
Finalmente, cojo mi mochila y me voy a mi nuevo día.



Well I don´t think is long enough. You could add something about your dog, is big, small, the name and also about breakfast or what you do afterwards before going to school.

Antes de ir al colegio/escuela tomo desayuno. Lo que más me gusta en las mañanas es un zumo de naranja y algunas tostadas con mantequilla y mermelada.

Before going to school I have breakfast. What I like in the mornings is orange juice and some toasts with butter and mermelade. (This would go before the last sentence).

Answer 4

Mi nombre es Nick. Soy de Florida. Tengo 16 años de edad. Tengo un perro. Cuando me levanto me baño, me pongo mis pantalones, una camiseta, me lavo los dientes y despues me pongo mis tenis.

I'm sure this will be less than a minute, you should talk about where you live, if you've lived there since you were born, if you have siblings, etc.

Answer 5

Yes, "Soy de . . ." is correspondent to the English "I am from . . ."

Me llamo nick. Soy de Florida. Tengo 16 años. Tengo uno perro. Cuándo me despierto, pongo en jeans/vaqueros y un camiseta...

( i stopped the translation at t-shirt; that's all I can do =/ )
