Learning Tenses With Cindy is a realistic, critical textbook which does not hesitate to address personal, social and political issues including the full spectrum of everyday problems experienced in our families, schools and societies. Because the book ventures into areas neglected by other schoolbooks, the readers find themselves identifying very powerfully with the main characters as they fall in love, break up with old partners, want to drop out of school, deal with savage bullies and alcoholic parents and explore themes like forgiveness and sexual orientation, to name only a few of the situations the reader will encounter. Clearly, there is something for everyone in this book, and what’s more, there is no end to the story – like a real soap-opera, it goes on and on, and the readers can write their own endings!
