!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

    this is the most number one thing that we will have to use for further communication. Therefore, all education must have to focus teaching some sort of good English language to their students and also dealing with that bi lingual languages term.

    I loved reading the above article. It's such a great lesson, and your explanation is greater than it . Your site is far informative and effective to those who are in need of more teaching techniques and materials on Learn Simple Sentences.Keep up the good work .
