A doctor comes when I’m ill.

3) Mr Miller in a small town

Mr Miller found work in a small town, and he and his wife sold their house in London and bought one in the new city. Mr Miller went to work every day with some of his new neighbours by bus. Last month he was on the bus, and one of his new neighbours in front of him. Mr Miller said to him, "One of my teeth hurts a lot. Is there a good dentist here?" "You don’t need a dentist," answered the neighbour. "One of my teeth also hurt a lot yesterday, but my wife put her arms around me and kissed me, and the toothache had gone. Go and try it!" Mr Miller got up. "Great," he said happily. "Where is your wife now?"

Lesson 314

2) John is a student

John is a student at the university. He loves modern music. In October last year, he suggested to some of his friends to form a music band, and they would play in his parents' living room every night because they would not be at home because they worked in a hotel. John and his friends went to his house every night and played their music. But they played very badly, and the neighbours always shouted and wanted them to stop. Then John closed the windows and he and his friends kept playing. However, last June, John opened a window, stuck his head out, listened and then said to his friends, "We play better! The neighbours want us to turn off the radio."

Lesson 312

1) John Miller was an artist

John Miller was an artist painting very contemporary pictures - blue squares and yellow circles, red sheep and green skies ............. In December last year, there was an exhibition of his paintings in our village hall. The exhibition lasted a week and a large book with two questions lay on a table by the door: "Why did you come to this exhibition? Which of the pictures did you like best?" Every evening John took the book and read the answers of the visitors. The weather was not very good that Saturday and it rained a lot. That evening too John looked into the book by the door of the hall, and read the answers of a lady to his two questions. They were: "I don’t like any of the pictures, I have come to the exhibition because it started to rain, and I don’t have an umbrella with me."

Lesson 310

3) The barber

Mr Smith went to the barber every month to have his hair cut. He sometimes took his little son John with him. John then sat in a chair and looked at magazines while his father's hair was cut. At those times, the barber did not cut John's hair because of Mrs Smith always doing it at home. Then one day, Mr Smith told his wife their son being already five years old, the barber would cut his hair the next time. So he took John with him, and the barber first cut Mr Smith's hair. Then he put John on the chair asking: "How do you want to have your hair cut, young man?" "Like my father's," John answered, "with a hole in the middle."
