I assigned my high school students the task of writing a short skit using a few phrases we had been working on. The only other two requirements was that it be appropriate and at least 50% English. Here's an excerpt:
Narrator: Una nina rica y rebelde, that with the bad influence of her best friend, hace que su papa termine en la ruina. Candy y Estrellita are best friends, y un dia, la mala influencia de Estrellita quizo dominar a su amiga Candy.
Estrellita: Amiga, vamonos de reventon a otra house.
Candy: No, its too late already, lets go home.
Estrellita: No seas partypooper, OH I have a medicine, so your parents can go to sleep easily and they wont get mad at you for leaving with me to a party.
Somehow drugging your parents so you can to a party made the cut for "appropriate." However, it appears that the Spanish to English ratio is a little more like 70:30.
