雅思口语：描述你害怕的时候

   “令我害怕的事情”和“吃药的经历”这两个话题，可以很完美的结合在一起。

　　这里，挑了个可能很多同学都得过的，而且不大不小的问题—“急性阑尾炎”：

　　I’d like to talk about the first time I had an operation, which really scared me to death.

　　I’d like to talk about the time I was diagnosed with acute appendicitis.

　　Here’s what happened.

　　That day, after I had breakfast, the right side of my belly started to hurt, I thought it might be something wrong with my breakfast, I mean, maybe I ate something past the expiration date, so I didn’t think that much. However, it became worse after two classes. So my teacher called my parents to pick me up, and they sent me to the hospital.

　　The doctor told me, I had acute appendicitis, and I needed to have an operation immediately. That moment, I was frightened, ‘cause I’d never had any operations before. My mom tried to comfort me by saying, ‘It’ll be OK, It’ll be finished in just a few minutes.’ but it didn’t help, I was still so nervous.

　　And the worst part is, I was fully conscious during the operation, I mean, I was treated with local anesthesia and I knew exactly what happened there. Luckily, those doctors and nurses were really nice.

　　After the operation, the doctor prescribed me some medicine, like painkillers and stuff like that. I needed to eat them three times a day. And after a week, I just fully recovered.
