!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

News travels fast in these globalised times, but not so fast that New York's latest smoking ban covering all its 1,700 parks and 14 miles of beaches had reached Nanjing, the capital of Jiangsu province in China. Just hours after the new prohibition came into force, Fan Yon Tao, Nanjing resident and New York tourist, stood at the Bethesda Fountain in Central Park nonchalantly puffing on a Marlboro.
