!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

Almodovar: I created a born survivor.
A new film by Pedro Almodovar called The Skin I Live In covers all the Spanish director's trademark themes, including strong female characters, sexuality and a dramatic twist.
He talks about his unusual thriller which features a "ferocious and wild family" and a "criminally insane scientist".

Del Bosque makes history National coach earns a record 39th win at helm of world's top-ranked team.
Del Bosque gives instructions during a match.- J. BRETÓN (CORDON)
Spain's routine 3-0 win over Venezuela on Tuesday was not one that will linger in the national memory in the same way as last year's tighter but more famous victory in Johannesburg, but it will be remembered as the one that made Vicente del Bosque the most successful coach in La Roja's history. Goals from David Villa - who took his tally for Spain to 47 - Pedro and Xabi Alonso gave the mustachioed mastermind a 39th win at the helm of the national side, one more than his predecessor, Luis Aragonés, in ten fewer matches. Spain has only lost four games - and curiously tied just one - under Del Bosque, two of them friendlies. The Manchegan has an 88 percentage win record compared with the Madrileño's 70 percent.

READING PRACTICE. 2.- FROM 10 Free Date Activities in the Great Outdoors
Second part from ten.- 10-02-2011.
Say you want to spend a little time with your girlfriend or someone you'd like to get to know a little bit better. It's a beautiful day outside, so it'd be great to hit the outdoors, right? You're exactly right. Outdoor dates are a lot of fun because you can be active together and focus on having a good time. They're also great because they don't have to cost a lot of money. In fact, some of the best times you can have outside are free. If you're wallet's feeling a little thin, thinking up some free outdoor fun can keep the sparks in your relationship--and it helps you save some cash for when you want a fancier night out. Don't believe it? Read on for some fun, free outdoor date ideas.
2: Hang Out peacefully by the water will make the conversation flow. For a lot of people, summertime means fun by the water. Whether you're hanging out at the beach or participating in water sports, water provides an excellent environment for a free date. At the beach, you can play Frisbee, catch or paddle sports with each other. Team up and become an unstoppable force in beach volleyball. It's clichéd, but most girls will admit that a long walk along the beach is about as romantic as it gets. When you get hot, the two of you can cool off in the waves. Bring your towel, sunscreen, snacks and some beverages, and you're set for a fun afternoon. Even if you don't live by a beach, you can still have fun on the water. Go swimming in a lake. If you own a canoe or kayak, take your date for a paddle on the river. The only way you'll move forward on the river is if you're working together, so it's the perfect way to get in sync with a person.

Under the weather. Film.
This animated short depicts a group of happy vacationers sunbathing... under cloudy skies. Despite the weather, they look cheerful, eating ice cream and hot dogs frolicking in the sand. Then the sun breaks through and the sunnier it gets, the fewer people there are on the beach. What is going on here?
