English 4, Post 4, "Strawberries are my favourite fruits"

Greetings everyone: I want to express my love for strawberries today, these are my favorites fruits along side apples and peaches, however, strawberries are special to me, their particular flavour that combines sweet and sour is one of the best combinations to me, It´s small size makes It easy to carry to other places and the fact that I don´t have to remove a peel from It makes me want to eat even more. The bad things about strawberries are three, the first one, the prices, these are not cheap fruits, they are expensive as hell specially when We are out of the season, for that reason every time I see an offer of strawberries I make sure to buy them immediately, however, this comes with other setback, strawberries are not very resistant to the eviroment and rot easily, in my home, If We don´t eat all the strawberries in a week We just dump them into the trash, and the final one, strawberry flavored products suck for me, they are too sweet or to acid, so I will never drink strawberry ju...

Thalidomide: a teaching of why stereochemistry is so important I want to write about something important, the infamous case of the intoxication of newborn babies with the sedative Thalidomide. First of all we need to explain what is stereochemistry and thalidomide, stereochemistry is the study of chemical properties based on the  position an orientation of the atoms that forms them, on the other hand, thalidomide is a sedative sell in mass by drugstores. At the beginning of the 60´s there were alarming cases of newborn babies who were missing their arms and legs, an investigation later uncovered that the cause of this was the use of Thalidomide by the mother or the father  , however,  there were two versions of thalidomide that had two different stereochemical configurations and were produced at the same time, in other words, a simple shift in the position of one molecule created a substance with properties completely different. This case showed to the worl...

English 4, Post 2, The best holidays

 Hello everyone: Today (or the day You are reading this), I want to write about one of the best holidays I´ve been, this was the new year party of 2010, one of the best moments I had as a child . I celebrate this holiday with a lot of my relatives, this were my cousin, my uncles, my grandmother and my parents, the party only lasted for about 5 hours, but I loved every second of It. We did a lot of stuff, We watched a movie but I don´t remember which one, talked, ate and then went outside of the house to watch the firework show, all of this celebration was in my home, and It was very small so We tried to use as much space as possible, either way, I enjoy the company of everyone. The main reason of why I consider this one of the best holidays is because I never had other experience like this in the rest of my life,  sure, I spent other holidays with other relatives but I always felt I didn´t fit in or I just couldn´t enjoy It like this one
