私は新しいジャケットを買いました。
でも、これは香港にまだある。それで、これは長い時間を届きます。
How does that sound? I was practicing specifically the use of それで, but I don't think the ending is right.
新しいジャケット。。。
新しいジャケット。。。

RE: 新しいジャケット。。。
What are you trying to do? IT doesn't make sense. The sentences seem random.

Really? Wow...I'm worse at this than I thought, and I already thought I was pretty bad. :pAJBryant wrote:

It was supposed to be:
私は新しいジャケットを買いました。
I bought a new Jacket.
でも、これは香港にまだある
But it's still in Hong Kong
それで、これは長い時間を届きます。
Therefore, it will take a long time to arrive.
I was trying to apply the "sorede" to something other than the weather as my lesson's do.

I think you need use something in the last sentence like this example from ALC:
have a long waiting time for one's order to arrive
注文品{ちゅうもんひん}が届くまで長期間待つ
have a long waiting time for one's order to arrive
注文品{ちゅうもんひん}が届くまで長期間待つ

だから、届けるまで時間がかかります。
You're not using the right conjunctions, or, rather, you're using the conjuntions incorrectly for what you are trying to say.
