!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

17-03-2011. 4/10 things you didn't know about the moon.



10 things... you didn't
know about

THE MOON.
1.      Our Moon is spelled with a capital
'M'. Other moons are given a lower
case 'm' to show the difference.


2.      The volume of the Moon is more or less 
the same as the volume of the Pacific Ocean.


3.      The Moon is very slowly moving
away from the Earth. In early
history, the Moon looked
about three times bigger in the sky,
because it was closer to the Earth.


4.      Dr. Eugene Shoemaker, who trained
American astronauts, is the only
man to visit the Moon and stay
there. After he died, his ashes
were put on board the Lunar
Prospector spacecraft, which
was crashed onto the Moon in July, 1999.
