Paragraph translate

Please can someone translate this short paragraph into French :smile:

Normally in my free time I do lots of very entertaining activities and my favourite activity is cycling. Often, I do cycling with my friend every weekend because it is extremely healthy and furthermore a great way of passing time. I would do a lot more cycling but although I enjoy it a lot, my friend finds it really boring. As well as cycling, I play computer in my free time because my computer, which is powerful, has some overwhelmingly fun games.

How far have you got with it? It would be better if you post what you have done so far and ask people to check over it instead of write it for you :smile:

Here is it finished in French hopefully similar to what it is English.

Normalement dans ma temps libre je faire beaucoup très divertissante activités et mon activités est vélo. Souvent, je faire du vélo avec mon amis pour une heure parce que c’est extrêmement en bonne santé et en outre c’est une génial moyen pour le temps qui passe. Je ferais plus vélo mais bien que j’aime vélo, mon amis trouve ce vraiment barbant. Ainsi que cyclisme je joue l’ordinateur régulièrement car mon ordinateur, qui est extrêmement puissant, a en masse jeux.

Normalement dans mon temps libre je fais beaucoup d'activités très divertissantes et mon activité préféré est le cyclisme. Souvent, je fais du vélo avec mon ami pendant une heure parce que c’est extrêmement (en bonne santé - this literally means the cycling is in good health - bon pour la santé would make more sense) et en outre c’est un génial moyen pour (le temps qui passe - this means the passing of time - use passer le temps instead). Je ferais plus du vélo mais bien que j’aime le vélo, mon ami trouve que ce vraiment barbant. Ainsi que du cyclisme je joue à l’ordinateur régulièrement car mon ordinateur, qui est extrêmement puissant, a des jeux massivement amusants.

It was generally quite good. The bits in read are the bits I've corrected or would change, but my corrections may not be perfect. Out of curiousity, did you use Google translate at all? As far as online translators go, the one we are told to use is Word Reference as it gives you the words in context.

Things may be out of context because my school book is really disorganized but I did use word reference because it seemed more...trustworthy than other translators. Anyway I am grateful for your help because I struggle with languages and I will post more paragraphs in the future if you're interested.
