    Can you help me with these sentences? Are they ok? In each sentence I wanted to use a specific word, I write these words between inverted commas, - The soon development of the US "railway network" was one of the reasons of the US supremacy during the XX century. - "Don't trust him", he's always telling lies - Did you know that Mike's father is in jail? I didn't know it, but "that's what I thought". - I don't know where John is, please could you "reach" him. - The Valencia port has several number of "docks", the biggest ones are used by Containers Vessels. - I'm "able" to play the piano at the same time I watch TV - This company is "dedicated" to build skyscrapers. - I'm pretty confident that the company will "tackle" this problem soon - Yesterday I "went blank" in my English test I felt very frustrated because I had studied a lot. Thanks in advance, :)

    I made up this story to try to use some words that I don't know if I use properly. Thanks in advance for your help, Words: Toiletries, stumble, invert, beyond, couch, cutlery, bin liner, guard, crease. Yesterday was a complicated day. I had to get to the groceries, so I decided to go in the morning to have the rest of the day free. I got the coach, which stop near my house. I almost fall down when I got on the coach because I stumbled with the pavement. There was many time since I haven’t taken the bus and it turns out that during this time the bus route has inverted their way, so I had to leave the bus and take the correct one. Finally, after one hour, I arrived at the supermarket where I bought some food, some toiletries and big bin liner package. When I was to come home I remembered that some days before I saw an announcement of a good cutlery offer in a near store. My cutleries were so old so I decided to go and buy them. In this store, they don’t allow entering with bags from other stores and the locker that they had were full. I asked to an old lady who was selling lottery if she could guard my bags whereas I bought the cutleries. She told me that there wasn’t any problem, and I bought her some lottery tickets in exchange for her favor. The problem was when I return with the cutleries and there were neither the lady nor my bags. I asked to the store security but they didn’t give me any useful information, so I decided to come back home and go other day to get the groceries. - Mate, you have to iron your shirts before coming to work, you can’t wear this shirt with these creases, you give a bad impression to the clients. - These contract clauses are beyond the law, you have to claim the company to avoid them. Thanks you,

    ¿Por qué son peligrosas las drogas?

    La droga (entre)en los jóvenes 
    Fumar y consumir drogas están de moda- pero no creo que sean pasajeras.(no esta mal pero suena mas natural decir: " pero no creo sea una moda pasajera") El consumo de la marihuana ha crecido en estos últimos años, hasta convertirse en la droga ilícita más consumida del mundo, cuyos efectos incluyen una merma de capacidades, tanto las del cerebro como las de la física las físicas. En el ambiento ámbito de la escuela, creo que se popularizaron por culpa de las redes sociales que han facilitado los flujos( yo diria: "han facilitado el acceso a las drogas// o que han facilitado la distribución de las drogas) de drogas. El suministro de droga parece estar en aumento (  or aumentando), casi lo mismo se puede decir de los drogadictos jóvenes ( esta frase queda mejor si la dices " se puede decir lo mismo de los jóvenes drogadictos")(cada vez hay más). Por eso, en el futuro, o sea, la juventud de hoy, nos corre el riesgo de obtener peores resultados que las generaciones anteriores mayores. Ello se debe a que, a diferencia de los simples hábitos, las adicciones son dependencias que traen consigo consecuencias de por vida al adicto (otra opción " al consumidor"). Económicamente, la adicción frena el pleno desarrollo del potencial de la cadena y por esta razón,(podrías escribirla en ingles es un poco confusa esta frase) la adicción en los jóvenes es particularmente peligroso.

    Please, someone can explain me if there is some difference between "it is because" and "that is why" Ask my questions says I would like to know if there are any difference between use these two structures. And if it is possible give me some examples in which both can be use or where only one on then can be use. Sometimes I have a little confusion between then and I don't know if actually there is a different. Thanks in advance.

    Day 2: Los Pequeños Artistas

    ::ES::

    Estábamos sentados en los pasos  las escaleras cerca de la Plaza de Catedral, escuchando a nuestros amigos tocando música para los turistas, mientras que nosotros dibujabamos dibujando los edificios que nos rodeaban. Algunas niñas que viven cerca vinieron cuando vieron nuestros lápices de colores y papel. Emily comenzó a rasgar las hojas de papel y les dio lápices para que pudieran sentarse y dibujar con nosotros.

    Unos minutos más tarde, saqué unos marcadores de acuarela y las niñas inmediatamente perdieron todo interés en los lápices. Una a una vinieron a mi y señalaron con emoción, “¡amarillo!” o “¡marrón!”. Entonces les daría di un marcador y ellas fueron pintando por partes sus dibujos. irían a parte del color de su dibujo. Luego, ellas iban volviendo pidiendo el color que necesitaban una por uno, pedían otra, "azul", “rojo". Era adorable.

    Al final dejé de darle uno a la vez por uno, y  les deje arles usar todos los marcadores para colorear sus casas y mariposas - sus cosas favoritas para dibujar.

    Cuando llegó el momento de partir, nos sorprendieron dándonos los dibujos que hicieron. Fue uno de los momentos más dulces en nuestro viaje.

    ::EN::

    We were sitting on the steps near the Plaza de Catedral, listen to our friends playing music for the tourists, while we sketched the buildings around us. A few girls who live nearby came over when they saw our colored pencils and paper. Emily began tearing out sheets of paper and gave them pencils so they could sit and draw with us.

    A few minutes later I took out some watercolor markers and the girls immediately lost all interest in the pencils. One by one they came over and point excitedly, “amarillo!” or “marron!”, then I’d give them the marker and they’d go color part of their drawing. Then one by one they’d come back, “azul!” “rojo!” It was adorable.

    Eventually I gave up having them use one at a time, and let them use all the markers to color their houses and butterflies - their favorite things to draw.

    When it was time for them to leave, they surprised us by giving us the drawings they made. It was one of the sweetest moments on our trip.
