!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

Children living near nuclear power plants in Britain are no more likely to develop leukaemia than those living elsewhere, experts have found.




Children living near nuclear power plants in Britain are no more likely to develop leukaemia than those living elsewhere, experts have found.
Any risk was "extremely small, if not actually zero", the Committee on Medical Aspects of Radiation in the Environment (COMARE), said.
It examined data from 1969-2004 on children under five living near 13 nuclear power plants in Britain.
About 500 children develop leukaemia each year - the majority are cured.
COMARE was set up in 1985 to advise government on the health effects of radiation.
The committee examined 430 cases of leukaemia occurring within 25 kilometres of nuclear power plants over the 35-year period.
COMARE has recommended that the government looks at other possible factors involved in childhood leukaemia.
