As a teacher of English as a second language here in Puerto Rico, I taught my students what cognates were, which is what you want. Here is a list:
hospital-hospital
doctor-doctor
apartmamento-apartment
saliva-saliva
elefante-elephant
tigre-tiger
leon-lion
aeropuerto-airport
restaurante-restaurant
telefono-telephone
vision-vision
visita-visit
tomate-tomato
letra-letter
alfabeto-alphabet
lampara-lamp
soda-soda
cereal-cereal
Biblia-Bible
atun-tuna
radio-radio
planta-plant
television-televison
album-album
parasol-parasol
bebe-baby
bicicleta-bicycle
These are just a few, some has an extra letter, but in the main content the word means the same.

Neither sounds very natural. Say Your homework is to write in spanish what you like to do everyday. or For homework, write in Spanish what you like to do everyday Try writing it like this: I recommend that you start BY putting your own point of view in the first paragraph and then continue to explain how terrible the death penalty is for our society.
