  1. Una obra de arte a mi modo de ver, que me ha orientado en la oscuridad... Me parece muy adecuado que se use para Bachillerato porque es compleja y con ella se pueden estudiar tipos de texto y diferentes estructuras verbales:

    Present
    Simple Past
    Request
    Comparative
    Permission
    Express opinions
    Answering questions
