!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

WEEKLY TOPIC: CRIME AND PUNISHMENT



With improved techniques at their disposal for the detection of crime, the police can ensure that law-abiding citizens no longer need go in fear of their lives and property.

The developement of ever more sophisticated techniques for surveillance and detection increases the likelihood that innocent people will be harassed and possibly wrongly convicted and imprisoned.

Have you witnessed a crime?
Have you reported a crime to the police?
Have you been called to give evidence in a court of law?
Have you been called to do jury service?
