The title 'Oh, I wish I'd looked after me teeth' expresses __________.
Toothache
Doki : Oh! I'm in agony. I didn't sleep a wink last night!
Moki : Why don't you go to a dentist?
Doki : Even thinking about the dentist's waiting room gives me the willies.
Moki : It's because you haven't been to a dentist for ages.
Doki: What a reassuring person you are!
Moki : I'm now going to get Mom. She'll only crack the whip and make you go to the
dentist.
Doki: No, No! I'd better go with you. At least you'd save me from going into the surgery.
Moki : I can only take the horse to the water but I can't make it drink! I'm sure, you're going
to turn tail and go home.
Doki: Don't worry, I shall be led quietly into the dentist like a lamb because my tooth is so
sore.
Moki : If that happens, I would believe that wonders will never cease!
Doki: I wish I had taken proper care of my teeth!
Moki : I wish you had paid attention to the discipline that Mom had laid for all of us!
Doki: Yeah! But past can't be undone. I have to reap what I had sown.

sister, Moki. As you listen complete the idioms and expressions listed below.(GIVEN ABOVE)
1. sleep…...….............………….
2. ………....……….me the willies
3. crack the…………..............….
4. take the……………….to water
5. …………...................…….tail.
6. wonders will……….........…….

but 'to make someone feel nervous'. It is important for learners of English to
understand them and be able to use them.

Dear Helpful Avanti My fifteen year old son is crazy about film music. He seems to be wasting all his pocla:t money on these meaningless CDs. He cannot even study without this noise. Though he is good at studies, I remain disturbed about this new obsession. There are all kinds of strange-looking posters on the walls of his study and he always wears those gaudy T-shirts and faded patched jeans. Also, he is very fond of Junk-food. I fear he is breaking all links with our culture. |

Dear Helpful Avanti I love film music and I have bought a lot of CDs from my pocket-money allowance. But whenever I switch on my CD-player, my father frowns and orders me to switch off the 'jarring noise'. He calls it 'cheap' and 'uncivilised' stuff. It is not that I do not like classical music, but when I am with my friends, we listen to film music. I like Indian clothes and food. But, I also like to wear western clothes and eat continental food occasionally. I do not like to disobey my parents, but I do not want to give up my music and other interests. |
