学二姐，每日一篇新概念 II册第48课 ，边学边实践-10月7日

48 Did you want to tell me something?
Dentists always ask questions when it is impossible for you to answer. My dentist had just pulled out one of my teeth and had told me to rest for a while. I tried to say something, but my mouth was full of cotton wool. He knew I collected birds eggs and asked me whether my collection was growing. He then asked me how my brother was and whether I liked my new job in London. In answer to these questions I either nodded or made strange noises. Meanwhile, my tongue was busy searching out the hole where the tooth had been. I suddenly felt very worried, but could not say anything. When the dentist at last removed the cotton wool from my mouth, I was able to tell him that he had pulled out the wrong tooth.

48 Dentists always try to make small talk when you can’t talk. I just had one tooth pulled out and the dentist told me to have a rest. He asked my hobbies and my family members and my job situation. I either nodded or made strange noises as my mouth was full of cotton wool. At the same time, my tongue found the hole where the teeth had been and I felt worried. At last the dentist removed the cotton and I could say something, I told him that he pulled out the wrong tooth!

Thanks for listening, any comments are welcomed!
