&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;It’s time to &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;look on the bright side&lt;/span&gt; of things. &lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;Es hora de &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;mirar el lado positivo&lt;/span&gt;

color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;Como en muchas tareas, &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;lo más difícil&lt;/span&gt; es cómo &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;empezar&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt; &lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;The food was good, and &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;plus&lt;/span&gt;, it was cheap. &lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;La comida estuvo buena, y &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;además&lt;/span&gt;, estuvo barata.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;The doctor &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;stressed &lt;/span&gt;that the tsunami had nothing to do with the dengue outbreak in the South. &lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;El doctor &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;enfatizó &lt;/span&gt;que el tsunami no tuvo nada que ver con el brote de dengue en el sur.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;
