!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

He's got a thick trunk, so I guess this shirt would not fit him. I’ll get a bigger one.
The elephant was waving its trunk, and the children loved it.

They did the last stage of their journey on foot.
The president was extremely popular on the world stage but was disliked in his own country.

I brought him some sandwiches because I thought he might be hungry.

"I'll have finished it by tomorrow." "And pigs might fly!"

Everytime they see that video of their dead daughter, tears well up in their eyes.

There is a growing current of support for green issues among voters.
He was swept out to sea by the strong current.

She seems quite fierce, but actually she has a gentle side.
Look on the bright side - no one was badly hurt.

She sat down and crossed her legs.
We're just hoping the weather stays nice and keeping our fingers crossed.
I wouldn't have crossed him like that. I value my life, and he can get really mad sometimes.
