!Mira que luna! Look at that moon! Resources for learning English
Fernando Olivera: El rapto.- TEXT FROM THE NOVEL The goldfinch by Donna Tartt (...) One night we were in San Antonio, and I was having a bit of a melt-down, wanting my own room, you know, my dog, my own bed, and Daddy lifted me up on the fairgrounds and told me to look at the moon. When "you feel homesick", he said, just look up. Because the moon is the same wherever you go". So after he died, and I had to go to Aunt Bess -I mean, even now, in the city, when I see a full moon, it's like he's telling me not to look back or feel sad about things, that home is wherever I am. She kissed me on the nose. Or where you are, puppy. The center of my earth is you". The goldfinch Donna Tartt 4441 English edition

MY FIRST NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTION.-THE KEY TO BECOMING A SLEEPING BEAUTY.
ACCORDING TO THE WEBSITE: http://ewnlifestyle.com/....IN THE ARTICLE "The key to becoming Sleeping Beauty" (By: EWN Lifestyle) we can become more attractive by sleeping better.
A Swedish study has determined that the key to beauty is a good night’s sleep. Lead researcher John Axelsson, a sleep scientist in the department of clinical neuroscience, and the Karolinska Hospital team investigated the relationship between sleep and perceptions of attractiveness and health.
Twenty-three participants aged 18 to 31 took part in the study and were photographed on two occasions, once after a normal night of sleep and once after 31 hours deprived of sleep.
The photographs were taken in a well lit room and the distance to the camera was fixed. During both sessions, participants wore no make-up, had their hair loose and underwent similar cleaning or shaving procedures.
They were asked to have a relaxed, neutral facial expression for both photos.
Sixty-five observers rated the photographs for attractiveness and judged the faces of the sleep-deprived participants as less healthy, less attractive and more tired.
Was it necessary this research to reach so "evident" conclusion? I ask them.
