!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

EL ORIGEN DE MIRA QUE LUNA: UN HOMENAJE A MI FAMILIA. Look at that moon! In honour of my family.

English as a second language blog: In memoriam.

Cuando era pequeña mi madre y mi tía jugaban por las noches conmigo en mi pueblo a buscar los rasgos de la cara de la luna y formas en las estrellas. En mi familia la pasión de los adultos fue enseñarnos, desde muy niños, a disfrutar aprendiendo. Y en ello estamos.........

Look at that moon! In honour of my family.

When I was a child my mother and aunt used to play with me looking for the facial features of the moon and animated shapes among the stars, at the moonlight. My family used to teach us how to learn with pleasure about everything. That was their passion.

And we have been enjoying it.....since then.
