!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

give the green light


getridofsquirrelsintheattic.com
Meaning: If you give something the green light, you give permission for it to be done, or allow it to happen.
For example:
  • The government has given the green light to our tree-planting project, so we can go ahead and start organizing things.
  • As soon as our CEO gives the new product the green light, we'll start planning production.
Quick Quiz:
If we're given the green light by the local council, we'll
  1. start building our factory
  2. have to build it somewhere else
  3. have to do an environmental impact study
