!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

Daily Slang: Virus



Picture source: virusinformatico-grupo1.blogspot.com
Meaning: a harmful computer program that can spread from one machine to another
For example:
  • Most viruses are spread when sent as email attachments, and they're activated when the recipient clicks on the program's icon.
  • If you want to avoid the hassle of dealing with computer viruses, get a Mac computer. Very few viruses target Macs.
Origin: These programs are called viruses because they act in ways very similar to biological viruses, in that they damage the host and they can spread from host to host.

Quick Quiz:
If a virus attacks a computer, a good strategy is to
  1. take it to a hospital
  2. throw the computer away
  3. do a system restore or OS reinstallation
