!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

FIX (2).


Meaning: a dose of an illegal drug, especially one that is injected with a syringe
For example:
  • The police found a syringe and some white powder near the girl's body and concluded that she'd had a fix and then died from a drug overdose.
  • Drug users need to have clean syringes for every fix to prevent the spread of AIDS, but some people in the government try to stop them from getting clean syringes.
Quick Quiz:
Drug users need a new syringe for every fix so that they
  1. don't have to waste time cleaning syringes
  2. can always use needles that are sharp
  3. don't get, or pass on, AIDS by using dirty syringes
