The Haskell example is unnecessarily obfuscated. A simpler and clearer
solution might be:

import Data.List
main = do
  text <- getContents
  putStr (unlines [ word | word <- words text , "ing" `isSuffixOf` word ])

(Not that I would necessarily recommend Haskell over Python for
teaching to beginners.)
