After each patient's case history had been asked,they were examined. While I was only observing how my teacher 4        the medical records and never went into the examination room. Half an hour later,my teacher began to 5        with me. "Why don't you come into the examination room?" she asked.

  I was a man of few words and I would 6        if I met a girl,let alone doing a gynecological examination. "I think it's too 7," I answered.

  "But you can't forget you are a doctor. If you are shy,you are not able to 8        in this department," she said seriously.

  At that moment,I felt very 9       . Just then another patient came,when my teacher was preparing to examine her,I 10 to walk into the entrance of the room.

  Quite 13      ,the patient took off her dress and we finished the examination. To my surprise,my teacher asked me to 14        the examination by myself when the next patient came. Under much 15        I entered the examination room and pretended to be experienced. In fact,I was so 16        that my heart was beating very fast. I tried my best to calm down.

  "Have you ever 17        any patients before? You seem to be very young. ” The patient asked.

  "Yes,I've worked here only for two years and if there is any question,I will 18        that old doctor."

  Hearing my words,the patient seemed to be 19       ,and I continued the examination successfully. Going out of the room,I told all this to my teacher and she was 20        with me.
