ENGLISH IS CONFUSING
“Good evening, everybody!” said the teacher, Donna. “Where is everybody?” That was sort of a daily joke by Donna. Usually the class started with only two or three students present, and then filled up as the minutes went by. It was summer time. Summer school was only eight weeks long. Class attendance was always smaller than during fall and spring semesters. “I don’t know, teacher. Maybe they are late or not coming,” said one student. “Maybe watching TV football tonight.”
“Is there a soccer game tonight? It seems like there’s a soccer game every night. Oh, well. Let’s get started, okay? We're on page 36 in the workbook. Tonight we’re studying participles as adjectives.
Students are always confused when they learn about the present and past participles, so we will practice this a lot. Tonight, we're just going to practice the present participle. “The present participle tells us what emotion or feeling the subject is causing. For example, ‘Grammar is boring’ means that the subject grammar causes an emotion of boredom. If we say, ‘The movie is interesting,’ we are saying that the movie causes a feeling of interest. If we say, ‘The roller coaster is exciting,’ we are saying that the roller coaster causes a feeling of excitement. Any questions so far? Am I confusing you? Is everyone confused?”
The classroom was quiet. Donna looked at blank faces. They were confused. She knew this would take a while. But eventually, the faster students would grasp it, and then they would help the slower students. By the end of the evening, most of the class would feel comfortable using the present participle.
Donna erased the board and put some new examples on it. She loved guiding her students through difficult topics like this one. She always felt a little bit thrilled when the look of understanding came to their faces.
How many students were usually present when class started?

TIẾNG ANH THẬT RẮC RỐI
"Chúc mọi người buổi tối tốt lành!" cô giáo Donna nói. “Mọi người đâu hết rồi nhỉ?”. Đây là một câu đùa hàng ngày của Donna. Thông thường lớp học bắt đầu chỉ với hai hoặc ba học sinh có mặt, và sau đó được lấp đầy chỉ sau vài phút trôi qua. Đó là thời điểm mùa hè. Khóa học hè chỉ kéo dài tám tuần. Lớp học luôn vắng hơn trong học kỳ mùa thu và mùa xuân. "Em không biết, thưa cô. Có lẽ họ đến muộn hoặc không đến", một học sinh nói. "Có lẽ họ xem bóng đá trên TV tối nay."
"Có một trận bóng đá tối nay à? Có vẻ như mỗi đêm đều có một trận bóng đá thì phải. Thôi được rồi chúng ta bắt đầu nhé! Các em mở trang 36 trong sách bài tập nhé. Tối nay chúng ta sẽ học dạng phân từ và tính từ.”
Học sinh luôn bối rối khi họ tìm hiểu về hiện tại và quá khứ phân từ, vì vậy chúng tôi sẽ luyện tập rất nhiều. Tối nay, chúng tôi sẽ tập trung luyện tập về hiện tại phân từ. “Nó sẽ cho chúng ta biết cảm xúc hay cảm giác của chủ ngữ đang gây nên. Ví dụ trong câu, ‘Ngữ pháp nhàm chán”có nghĩa là ngữ pháp gây ra cảm xúc nhàm chán. Nếu chúng ta nói “Bộ phim rất thú vị”, thì chúng ta đang nói rằng bộ phim gây ra cảm giác thích thú. Nếu chúng ta nói “Tàu lượn siêu tốc rất tuyệt vời”, thì chúng ta đang nói rằng tàu lượn siêu tốc gây ra cảm giác phấn khích. Có ai có câu hỏi gì không? Cô nói các em có hiểu không? Có ai còn chưa hiểu vấn đề gì không?”
Đáp lại cô là một không khí im lặng. Donna nhìn những khuôn mặt trống rỗng. Họ bối rối. Cô biết điều này sẽ mất một lúc. Nhưng cuối cùng, những học sinh nhanh nhẹn hơn sẽ nắm được bài, và sau đó họ sẽ giúp những bạn chậm hơn. Đến cuối buổi tối, hầu hết các lớp sẽ cảm thấy thoải mái khi sử dụng hiện tại phân từ.
Donna đã xóa bảng và viết lên một số ví dụ mới. Cô thích hướng dẫn học sinh của mình thông qua các chủ đề khó như thế này. Cô luôn cảm thấy một chút hồi hộp khi trên khuôn mặt họ ánh lên sự thấu hiểu.
