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 match boxes 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.

牙医总爱在你没法回答时问问题。我的牙医刚拔了我一颗牙，叫我先休息一会儿。 我想说点什么，可嘴里塞满了棉花。 他知道我收集火柴盒，便问收藏是不是又增加了。接着，又问我哥哥近况如何，喜不喜欢在伦敦的新工作。 我只能点点头，或发出一些奇怪的声音来回应。 与此同时，我一直用舌头寻找刚拔过牙的那个缺口。我突然十分着急，却什么也说不出来。 等牙医终于取出棉花，我才告诉他：他拔错牙了。
学完这一课
先沿这条线复述《你想对我说什么吗？》：偏在不能说话时提问 → 嘴里塞满棉花 → 他一个问题接一个 → 只能点头或发声 → 摸到缺口，心里着急 → 终于能说出真相。再借一个结构讲自己的事：用本课一个请求练一遍，再说自己最近请别人帮忙做了什么。
