　　 (Ss may make some mistakes, so teacher should give some explanations

　　 after correcting the mistakes made by the students.)

　　 T: To do this exercise well, we should know how to use some words

　　 like interested/interesting, surprised / surprising correctly. To

　　 say how we feel about something, we can use the past participles

　　 interested, surprised, etc. To talk about the person or thing that

　　 makes us feel interested, surprised, etc. we use present

　　 participles. This kind of the past participles and the present

　　 participles is used like adjectives to refer to a state or a

　　 quality, not an action. For example, the story he told me is

　　 interesting, and I am interested in it. Can you understand?

　　 Ss: Yes.

　　 T: There are some other past participles like interested an

　　 surprising, you should remember.' They are excited, bored, worried,

　　 frightened, tired, astonished, delighted, satisfied, amazed,

　　 disappointed and so on. Most of them are used in the news of

　　 Exercise 5. You should read the news again after class to further

　　 study them. Do you remember?

　　 Ss: Yes.
