!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

Learning English - Grammar, Vocabulary & Pronunciation - A long shot

Learning English - Grammar, Vocabulary & Pronunciation - A long shot:
Today's Phrase
If something is a long shot, it is very unlikely to happen. Examples I'm looking for a first edition of Alice in Wonderland for my mother's birthday. I know it's a long shot, but do you have one in stock? My favourite football team is in the cup final at the weekend. I think we could win, but it's a long shot. We could ask the company to replace your broken smartphone for free. It's a long shot, but it's worth trying."
