It was summertime. Donna walked into the classroom. “ Good afternoon, everybody !” That was a joke Donna told every day. Usually the class started with only two or three students in the classroom, and then the other students came as the minutes went by.
Donna knew that the students didn’t like studying English. The head teacher had told her the reason. The students thought English was confusing.
Donna waited until all the students were sitting in their seats. She smiled and said, “ Okay, well. Let’s get started. Please turn to Page 36. Today we’re studying participles as adjectives(分词作形容词). Students often feel confused when they learn about the present and past participles, so we need to practice a lot. Today, we’re just going to practice using present participles as adjectives.” Donna looked at all the blank faces around the classroom. Then she wrote two sentences on the blackboard.
“ The present participle tells us what kind of emotion the subject(主语)is causing. For example, when we say ‘grammar is boring’, we mean that the subject—grammar — causes an emotion of boredom. If we say, ‘The movie is interesting’, we are saying that the movie causes an emotion of interest. Any questions so far ? Is anyone confused ? ”
The classroom was quiet. Donna knew it would take some time for everyone to understand what she was talking about. After a while, Donna got a little excited because she saw looks of understanding on some of the students’ faces.

How to have a good school life
Your schooldays should be some of the best and happiest days of your life. How can you get the most from them, and be sure you do not waste(浪费) this great chance to learn?
Be active at school Don’t say things that are difficult or boring. Take interest in school life and your school subjects. Join lots of activities. Put up your hands quickly in class. Go around the school with a big smile.
Keep fit If you don’t eat healthily in the morning, you will be thinking about food in class. If you go to bed late and don’t have enough sleep, you will be sleepy in class. Play enough sports every day to keep your body strong.
Face the problem Do not say you will do things tomorrow. If you get behind the class, it is very difficult to get back in the front. You cannot finish the race if you rest all the time. Everyone fails some exams, loses some matches and has bad days. Don’t make small problems very big and important. Don’t forget to ask for help. You are young, and no one thinks you must do everything quite well!
Spend the weekends Go and play sports, get together with friends in the park to relax, learn to play the piano, or help someone with problem. If you don’t want to go out, there are also a lot of things to do. You may read a book, practice English or help Mum with housework.
