!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

Unhappy Christmas for retailers - Business News - Business - The Independent
Unhappy Christmas for retailers - Business News - Business - The Independent: "Retailers only managed to eke out a disappointingly small rise in sales in stores over Christmas, even though they enjoyed a surge in online revenues last month.
Chains grew sales at stores open at least a year by just 0.3 per cent in December, according to the British Retail Consortium (BRC) and KPMG.
Helen Dickinson, the director general of the BRC, said: "Against the relentlessly tough economic backdrop and low expectations, these results are not a cause for celebration, but not a disaster either. Total growth for December hasn't beaten inflation and is only on a par with December 2010, when severe weather put sales volumes on ice for much of the month.""
