when you use 一番, you need to also state what it is number 1 for
e.g. you could say 「一番美味しい食べ物だ」- best tasting
or: 「好きな食べ物の中で第一番」- number 1 out of my favourite foods
umm theres some other ways you can say it but i cant think of them at the moment ><

hmmmm
im not sure ive used that one before >< but ill give it a go

あの子,人に手伝うのはちょっぴりだな
anoko ,hito ni tetsudau no wa choppiri dana

He/She/That kid doesnt help out much does he (helps very little)

ill pass めずらしい - strange/unusual

I'd say 焼きそばは世界の一番おいしい食べ物だ！
literally, "yakisoba is the best tasting food in the world!"

anyway, I'll base my sentence on Shadowulf's....
あの子が人に手伝うなんて珍しいことだよ。
It's unusual for that kid to help someone.

and I'll pass... an easy one, 車！

今朝、あの子が私の車を洗った。
This morning, that kid washed my car.

How would you say "the kid helped me wash my car"?

Anyways, i pass: 奇妙 strange

隣に住んでいるお祖父さんは厳しい顔をして、子供に「やめろ！ボールを体育館だけで使え、ここであそぶな！」と怒鳴った。
The old man who lives near me shouted at the kid "Stop it! Use the ball only in a gymnasium, don't play here!" with a severe face.

I pass 同じ, "same"

hmmm... do people normally use を twice in the same sentence?
to me i'd be saying:
あの子は(私の)車を洗う事(or の）に手伝ってくれた

Quote:

@Shadowulf, i think you forgot an を... 隣さんの家の窓を砕いた

hmmm, but i was thinking since im writing like casual speech-ish, を wouldnt be too important

anyway
意地悪いあの子は同じ顔にして、「やめろ！やめろ！」とか「うるさいな、じじ」叫んだり、お祖父さんをからかったりし続けた
ijiwarui ano ko wa onaji kao ni shite, "yamero! yamero!" toka "urusai na, jiji" sakendari, osofu-san wo karakattari shitsudzuketa

that mischevious boy (making the same face) continued to tease the old man, mockingly shouting "stop it! stop it!" and "you annoying old man"

ill pass 罰(batsu)- punishment
