Recall

Say it out loud

  • Call the dentist again to move your Friday 6 p.m. appointment. Say something came up, ask what the earliest day next week is, and ask if you can still get the cleaning.(〜んですが・一番早い・お願いできますか)

  • At the dentist, the doctor asks when it hurts. Say it's sensitive when you drink something cold, and it hurts a little when you eat sweet things too.(〜と(条件))

  • Tell your wife the Mao Shimada news: 18 years old, won on her first Grand Prix, 4th Japanese woman after Nakai, 21 straight wins, but couldn't go to the Olympics because of the age rule.(〜に続いて・〜連勝・〜そうです(伝聞))

YOUR TURN

(の):「チン、コーヒーないんですか?」 Answer in 3–4 sentences: when you drink cold things your back tooth is sensitive (〜と); so you booked the dentist for the first time (); it's the earliest day, Friday; and you're also getting a cleaning.
