Title: Write a short story about your own dental visit (without using translation app)

Last weekend, after I took my daughter went to the private hospital, I went to the public hospital to see the dentist. I arrived at the hospital very early in the morning, but as expected I still waited about 3 hours. I’m afraid of going to see the dentist, so I closed my eyes tightly while the dentist was filling my teeth. During the whole process, the dentist talked/was talking with his colleague. I heard a funny story that made me feel a bit more relaxed. But I need to go to there  return one more time because  it was crowded and they couldn’t finish filling my teeth there were too many patients. The hospital has a rule that everyone can only fill one tooth per visit. I think my daughter has more courage than I/me(?) because she has seen the cartoon, Peppa Pig, which has made a positive influence on her. I want to learn be more courageous like her (I want to become as brave as her/ I want to overcome my fears like she does / I want to have the courage that she has) .
