!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

Lose your head


friendster-layout.com.au
Meaning: If you lose your head, you become very angry about something.
For example:
  • When some people at the hospital said they wouldn't help my injured friend because he didn't have his ID card, I lost my head and shouted, "What's wrong with you people? He's dying!"
  • If you're in a government office and an official is making life difficult for you, try not to lose your head. It won't help if you shout at them.
Quick Quiz:
We were all surprised when Tracey suddenly lost her head and
  1. started laughing
  2. started staring at her fingers
  3. started shouting and thumping the table
