!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

Test your creative writing skills. English Banana com The Great Alphabet Challenge


Can you write a sentence, or group of sentences where the first letter of each word starts with successive letters of the alphabet?

One condition - sentences must make sense and be grammatically correct!

Think it’s too hard? Have a look at these examples, then try your own...


1.         Are British chefs dutifully engaged finding great hotels in jolly Korean   locations? My niece once put quite red strawberry trifles under visitor     William’s X-Men yoghurts - zikes!


2.         A big Canadian danced endlessly for Greek homeowners. I joyfully         kicked last month’s newspapers onto Peter’s questionable rug.     Suddenly two unicyclists vanished - “Weird X-Files,” yawned Zoe.


3.         Ask Bernard carefully, “Does Edward follow gentle hippies?” In jest,        Kenneth lent Mark next October’s purple quilt - really stupid. Test        Uncle Vernon with x-rays, you zit!
