Katy’s corrections:

If everything is going well for me, this summer I will travel to Spain. I want to desperately. So I keep my fingers crossed.

Caefuego’s corrections:
Si todo me va bien, viajaré a España este verano. Lo ansío desesperadamente. Así que cruzo los dedos.

Original:
Si todo estará bueno para mí, viajará por España este verano. Lo quiero desesperadamente. Pues, sigo cruzando mis dedos.

Lo quiero desesperadamente, también. :)) — Tosh, MAR 18, 2012

Ojalá!:) — Silvia_Tcherneva, MAR 18, 2012

I would do a little corrections: «Si todo me va bien, viajaré a España este verano. Lo ansío desesperadamente. Así que cruzo los dedos». — -cae-, MAR 18, 2012

Thank you so much, Caefuego! Little corrections, almost everything was wrong:)) — Silvia_Tcherneva, MAR 18, 2012

No at all, because I could undestand the message. I’d like to go to Spain sometime too, but I’d prefer to go in winter to meet the snow. (I’m practicing English). — -cae-, MAR 18, 2012

By the way, I used the verb «ansiar» because you are expresing desire (a wish) more than an intention. In fact, I should have used the verb «desear» but If I would have done it, the resulting sentence would have sounded cacophonous. So I used «ansiar». — -cae-, MAR 18, 2012

Thank you once again for the explanation, it is very usefull for me, because I still don’t know how to use all those words that I already know in Spanish. — Silvia_Tcherneva, MAR 18, 2012

I’m sure that Spain is wonderful during the winter too:) — Silvia_Tcherneva, MAR 18, 2012

Your English sentence is good, but I think it might sound better to say, «…I want to desperately.» — katydew, MAR 18, 2012

Thank you so much, Katy! I will correct it:) — Silvia_Tcherneva, MAR 18, 2012

katydew: Do I always have to use the verb «want» that way? I mean: [Pronoun] + [Verb want] + [to] + [Adverb]. — -cae-, MAR 18, 2012

Preciosa vista de la torre desde el Patio de los Naranjos. Gracias, Silvia — Cordobesa, MAR 18, 2012

You are most welcome, Cordy! It is my pleasure:) — Silvia_Tcherneva, MAR 18, 2012

«I want to». is a short answer. But to say how much you want to do it, also add the adverb like you did. You can also say «I want to go deperately.» or «I would love to go». Does that help? — katydew, MAR 18, 2012

Excellent explanation. Hope that Caefuego will see your answer too. Thank you, Katy! — Silvia_Tcherneva, MAR 19, 2012

typos on desperately. sorry. — katydew, MAR 19, 2012

where is the typo, Katy? Maybe I am too tired and I can’t see it:) — Silvia_Tcherneva, MAR 19, 2012

Dear Mom and Dad,
I am having a wonderful time at summer camp here in Lake Tahoe, California. Sabina is my new best friend and Mrs. Gardner is our cabin captain. She is a real busy bee. Today we went to Lake Tahoe, and played ball, and sailed on a sailboat.

I got water in my nose and had to borrow a towel from Megan. She said I’d better learn how to use the washing machine before I give it back. Tomorrow we are going to the library; everyone is allowed to take out a book and a video. After that, we are taking the bus to the post office.

The mailman won’t come to camp anymore; it has something to do with the frog Jim lost. We all miss Mr. Douglas. Hope you and Dad enjoy your trip to Grandpa’s house. I can’t wait until you visit me soon!
Love,
Lucy
