Dear Diary,
I'm really afraid of going to the dentist. I don't know why, but I have had this fear since I was very young. When my mum wants me to go to the dentist, I always refuse.
This morning, I woke up with a terrible toothache. I told my mum about it. She thought that one of my teeth was probably rotten and that I needed to go to a dentist. I had no choice but to go with her.
When we got to the dentist's office, there were strange smells, strange sounds and people dressed in strange clothing. Imagine how scared I was! My hands were shaking. My legs felt so heavy, and it was difficult to stand!
Fortunately, the dentist, Dr. Hu, was very kind. She saw right away that I was scared and told me not to worry. She helped me get up on the chair.“You needn't be afraid. What kind of music do you like?”she asked. She gave me a headset, and I listened to music while she worked.
Before I knew it, my aching tooth was fixed. My tooth did not hurt at all. Dr. Hu smiled at me and said, “See? I told you it would be OK.”
On the way home, Mum told me an old German saying:Fear makes the wolf bigger than he is.
