WRITING: UNIT 10

One of the funniest situation I’ve ever been involved in was when I was studying at the
university.
When we were in the organic chemistry laboratory, the teacher said that we had to
separate in groups of 4 people to be able to perform the laboratory practices.
The practice was that each group had to prepare 2 acid solutions to prevent food from
oxidizing, but to prepare the solution it had to be done in the extraction hood because
one could be burned. My friend Abel I said I am going to prepare it and I said: Do you
know how to use the pipette correctly to avoid burning? And my friend told me I have no
idea if he will made correctly.
Suddenly, Abel's apron began to burn and not only his apron, but also his sweater until
he reached his t-shirt, we all started to laugh because Abel was pouring water and
instead of going off his clothes were lit more. I'm not sure how long it took for it to go out,
but luckily the teacher did not notice.
What’s funny about this is that this day was Abel's birthday, and he had come with his
best clothes to go to celebrate his birthday, but he had to go home to change his clothes.
