This grammar point is something that many students find confusing –
the difference between adjectives ending in –ed or –ing!
The main thing to remember is this:
adjectives with –ing are the cause of the feeling/situation and
adjectives with –ed are the feelings of the person/animal affected
Each of these words are adjectives – words to describe something! Try to find the opposite to each adjective. Good luck!

I came across this 'Saying No' article on Zen Habits and thought I'd share it with you. It can be difficult to refuse people without being rude and it's even harder when you don't have the English ability to do it. Refusing with a simple 'no' can make you seem impolite; it's better to be less direct if you don't want to hurt anyone.
Here is another letter from me to you! This time, try and put the paragraphs in the correct order. I hope you enjoy it!
