2.Dentist: hello how are you doing today?
Lady: Not so well, last time the filling you did in my teeth is giving me a really tough time.
Dentist: Really? you should have called me up and asked us to remove it.
Lady: I tried to contact you a lot of times but the nurse told me that you have a busy schedule ahead. I tried to control the pain with the painkillers.

Lady: OK thanks. So what are you going to do today?
Dentist: I am going to take the filling out and then do the root canal in order to finish the pain.

Dentist: Don't be I I will take care of it and if there is any problem or pain you can let me know I will leave in the middle
Lady: That is relaxing. Ok, you can start the treatment now.
3.Abdullah is a carpet merchant in the city of Zanzib. In between buying and selling his carpets he daydreams. Then one day he buys a magic carpet. To keep the carpet safe he sleeps on top of it. In the middle of the night he wakes up in a garden, just like the one in his dreams. When he meets a beautiful princess, he assumes he must still be dreaming. But when Princess Flower in the Night mistakes him for a woman, which is most certainly not a part of his normal dreams, he realizes that he must have mumbled a word in his sleep that took the magic carpet to her garden. Flower in the Night explains that she has never seen a man besides her father before and that is why she mistook him for a woman. Since her father is short, fat, and bald she assumes that all men look the same. To prove that men can all look very different Abdullah promises to return the next night with as many pictures of men as he can find. He spends all day buying pictures for Flower in the Night. That night he goes to sleep on the carpet with all the pictures bundled around him. When he wakes up, he is once again in Flower in the Night's garden. After inspecting all the pictures Flower in the Night decides that Abullah is the best looking man out of everyone. She wants to ask her father to let her marry Abdullah. Her father will probably object to this since he has already chosen a prince he wants Flower in the Night to marry. They decide to get married first and then tell her father. As they get on the carpet to leave, a djinn flies by and grabs Flower in the Night. In order to rescue her, Abullah will have to escape prison, defeat a bandit, rescue a soldier, and defeat the djinn.
4.God always sees the truth in whatever we do, in whatever we think. So we got the meaning of the 1st part of the title. The dabatable part is the "But waits." For me, God waited for the time that Aksionov will know who really killed the merchant. When he knew that Makar did it, God watched Aksionov on what this man will do. What will be his decision, either to seek revenge or forgive. Aksionov's decision of forgiving Makar truly made the big difference in this story. Think about if Aksionov did the opposing thing, seeked revenge and ruined Makar's life, then he is not so different with Makar. My point is God gave Aksionov this struggle, all of us are given a "struggle". It is up to us what path to take, either a path that makes our earthly decisions or a path that takes us to fully surrender to Him because we believe in His plans for us.
5.In Wordsworth's Solitary Reaper, the speaker of the poem finds a maiden working all “by herself” in the field and singing a melodious song. Wordsworth describes the lonesome maiden's song as sad and beautiful. ... While he cannot distinguish the words of her song, they sound sad, as if she is singing of loss or pain.
