!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

Discovering the Sweet Mysteries of Chocolate: NEUROSCIENCE FOR KIDS
READ MORE: http://faculty.washington.edu/chudler/choco.html
The ancient Mayans and Aztecs of the Americas consumed chocolate. These people drank cacao, or the chocolate bean, which was ground into hot water, like the hot chocolate we drink today. However, their cacao was rather bitter and had chilies in it. For those of us who hoard our chocolate candies, it is easy to understand why the Mayans and Aztecs used cacao beans as currency. Imagine using candies instead of coins!

English for kids: "One two buckle my shoe". IT'S A NURSERY RHYME.
"One two buckle my shoe". IT'S A NURSERY RHYME.
"1, 2, buckle my shoe".
CLICK ON THE GREEN TAG BELOW:
RHYMES.
Origins of the lyrics to "One two buckle my shoe" rhyme We thought that these nursery rhyme lyrics have no traceable connection with any events in history. And believed that there is no historical or political association to one two buckle my shoe. Our conclusion was that the nursery rhyme had been devised as a pleasurable and fun way to teach children how to count using one two buckle my shoe and its different imagery to fire a child's imagination. Our grateful thanks therefore go to Adrian Lloyd for providing the following fascinating information about 'One, two buckle my shoe'.
David wrote, "I have have always understood it to be partly about lacemaking and partly about other ‘working’ class roles from the 16th, 17th or 18th century.
One, two, buckle my shoe: refers to the lacemaker, or anyone else, getting ready in the morning for work.
Three, four, shut the door: the lacemaker (or other) closed the door to the shop (or their own front door behind them) to begin work for the day
six, pick up sticks: the sticks are wooden pins used on a lacemaking ‘machine’
Seven, eight, lay them straight: the pins are placed on the machine to go straight across the fabric from side to side
ten, a big fat hen: which is a type of ‘pillow’ that supports and holds the lacework
From 11 and 12 refers to the gardeners
and from 13 &
14 maids in waiting to a large house or estate and so on
up to 19 and 20 being served dinner by the kitchen staff with plates empty!
One two buckle my shoe aka "1 2 buckle my shoe"
