!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

More than meets the eye


More than meets the eye

Meaning: You can say there's more to something than meets the eye if it's more complex, more important or more interesting than it seems at first.
For example:
  • I'm sure there's more going on here than meets the eye. I don't think we've been told the full story.
  • Mick might seem dull and boring when you meet him, but there's more to him than meets the eye, believe me! He's a really interesting guy.
Quick Quiz:
The police think there's more to the car accident than meets the eye. They think there could be
  1. similar accidents in future
  2. pieces of the car they haven't seen yet
  3. reason to believe it wasn't a normal accident
