Work in pairs. Choose one of the two dialogues and role-play it.1. - What’s the trouble? - I have a very bad toothache, doctor. - Well… Take this chair, open your mouth wide, please. Oh, here is your bad tooth. Nothing will help it. I’m sorry, but you must have it pulled out. - Oh, really? Can’t you give me a filling? Will it hurt much, doctor? - Certainly not. I guarantee you won’t feel anything at all. I’ll give you a pain-killing injection. Open your mouth again and sit still, it won’t hurt. … Yes, look! Isn’t it a big one? - Wonderful! I felt no pain at all. - Don’t forget, don’t eat anything for 2 hours or so. - Fine. Thank you. Good-bye, doctor.
2. - Good-morning, doctor! - Good morning! Oh! I see your cheek is swollen. I think you have problems with your teeth. - Yes, doctor. I have a terrible toothache! - Does it hurt when you drink something hot or cold? - It hurts all the time, especially when I bite something. - OK. Let me examine you. Sit down please, and open your mouth wide!... Mmm … - Well, doctor? - I think we can fill those two teeth. But this one is too bad. We must pull it out immediately! - Oh, no doctor! I’m afraid! - Don’t worry, everything will be all right. I’ll give you an injection! - Injection?! I don’t like injections!! I don’t want any injections!!! - Then you’ll suffer all your life of a terrible toothache. You’ll have bleeding gums. - All right, doctor. But be very careful! … - OK! HERE it is! Look at your tooth! - Oh, thank you doctor. - Not at all. Come next Tuesday, we’ll put you a crown. Good-bye!
