!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

Socialists give Bankia takeover guarded support | In English | EL PAÍS

Socialists give Bankia takeover guarded support | In English | EL PAÍS: "The opposition Socialists gave cautionary support Thursday to the nationalization of troubled lender Bankia, which was taken over by the government late Wednesday. Alfredo Pérez Rubalcaba, the Socialist leader, issued a warning to Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy, telling him “to act responsibly” to avoid the bank’s “collapse.” “The Socialists support the government entering into Bankia but the state will have to pull out at some point. And we need guarantees that there are no losses for the government, and that all the money injected will be recovered, hopefully with profits,” Rubalcaba said. Meanwhile, Popular Party (PP) officials were blaming the Bank of Spain — specifically its governor Miguel Ángel Fernández Ordóñez — for pressuring Caja Madrid to merge with Bancaja as part of the multi-lender fusion in June 2010 that formed Bankia."
