Tim and The Dentist

Tim was a Young boy around the age of 12 he had blonde hair, blue eyes, and a lovely face. He had been feeling this uncomfortable pain on his tooth but decided he wouldn’t tell his mother. As the days went by the pain increased by every second reaching the point where Tim cried, his mother Evelyn a tall red haired women asked him what was wrong sow Tim told her he had this deep pain in his tooth. Right away his mother called the dentist and asked for the appointment but Tim freaked out and locked himself in his room.

That night he dreamed that he had met this young writer named William Shakespeare and that he had to accompany him to the dentist. As he entered the dentist office he felt this cold shiver that penetrated his whole body making him feel goose bumps. The waiting room was full of people with long faces and a dead perspective, cold and still. He went with William to the treatment room, a small man with a big hump and a big nose welcomed them and told William to make himself relax while his master came. As this old man with almost no hair and in a white long robe approached William, Tim felt nocuous and decided to run away. As he run away from the office he heard Williams’s long and painful screams of agony and that’s when he woke up.

It was a sunny day and the birds were singing, his mother walked into the room and told him to get ready for the dentist appointment. Tim screamed and cried but nothing would stop his mother from taking him to the dentist. They entered the car and started their journey to the dentist, when Tim got there he walked into the waiting room and so that it was nothing like he would have expected. It was full of happy and smiling people reading magazines, but anyway he still didn’t know what was behind the big glass door. The dentist helper called Tim in, his hands started to sweat, his heart pounded faster every second, and his face was white as a snowflake. Tim closed his eyes but a lovely voice said his name, Tim opened his eyes to see this rocking hot dentist with long blonde hair, green eyes, red lips, and a perfect body. Since then Tim loves to go to the dentist even if his teeth are not hurting.

Hi...


Hi my name is Pedro, I am 15 years old and a Colombian citizen. I like rock and funk, soccer and squash, and PARTY!

The point of a blog in my opinion is to express my thoughts about something I like.

I think a blog is a good tool for grade 9 English because it gives us the possibility to hand in stuff without wasting paper and learning to use the Internet in a safer and better way.
