!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

No sweat! Informal
For example:Meaning: You can say "No sweat!" if someone asks you if you can do something, and you're sure you can do it.
  • Andy: "Are you sure you can carry that box?" Barry: "No sweat!"
  • I asked Jeff if he could handle things in the office while I was away and he laughed and said, "No sweat! Of course I can."
Note: This is very informal, so it shouldn't be said to someone like your boss or your teacher. It's also something that can be said by men and boys, but girls and women almost never use it.


Quick Quiz:

  1. was from Norway
  2. liked jazz music
