Model Answer 1

What type of appointment it was​?

I had an appointment with a dermatologist two days ago, but it was postponed to the following week. I'm going to share my similar experience today. I've been noticing dark spots on my skin lately. I looked it up on Google and learned that it was a precursor to melasma. I was unable to comprehend the reasoning, but I insisted on cross-examination with a skilled dermatologist. I am someone who frequently takes good care of her face.

When it was?

I would thus use numerous chemical products. I stopped using it and restricted myself to only a simple moisturizer and a cleanser to maintain my face soft and supple after learning recently that they cause much more harm than good. On the other hand, I began to notice dark brown blotches on my cheeks and nose. I became really concerned and started looking for the best dermatologist in the area to make an appointment.

Why it was brought forward?

According to the website, that specific batch had all of its allocations. It happened again the following day as well. It was unclear to me whether the dermatologist's notoriety or a website error was to blame. When I tried to get a slot by calling their helpline number, the same response was given. I asked when the latest date that could have been set for my appointment with the doctor could have been booked, and I was offered the time next week.

Explain how you felt about it?

Though I had no other option, I chose to wait even though it would have been a long wait. I was dreading what the doctor might advise on the day of the appointment. My appointment was rescheduled until the following day due to the doctor's personal emergency as soon as I reserved my taxi to the clinic, I received a call informing me of this. I was let down because I wanted a dermatologist to take care of my condition right away. Since the doctor was so well-known in the area, I was also relieved to learn that at least the appointment had not been postponed. The whole night I spent in fear that what if the next day I received a call that would cancel my appointment but everything went as planned the day after.

What type of appointment it was​?

I was really looking forward to an appointment that I had with my dentist which got postponed. Today I would like to talk about the same incident. I started noticing sensitivity in my teeth lately whenever I consumed sugary or chilled food items. Due to this reason, I couldn’t even enjoy desserts while I was born with a sweet tooth.

When it was?

I had to do something about it and after many attempts, I got an appointment with the most famous dentist in the town. He is extremely renowned and knows the best for his clients. I read about him in many articles and so I was convinced he would certainly suggest some good medicines or even dental filling if required.

Why it was brought forward?

I have had painful days due to the sensitivity in my teeth. Some days, it becomes so bad that I fail to fall asleep without taking painkillers. I was hopeful for the day when I would meet Dr. Hanson and get a solution to my tooth problem. On that day, I missed my classes so that at the mentioned time, I could be at his clinic. However, I kept waiting for a confirmation call since morning as I was asked to but I didn’t receive any. When my patience gave up, I called the clinic and was informed that my appointment had been postponed for the next week.

Explain how you felt about it?

I was disheartened to hear that as I would have to bear the pain for another week. Upon enquiring, I got to know Dr. Hanson had to fly off to a different city for emergency surgery. I had no choice but to wait as I wanted to be treated by him only. I was requested to understand the gravity of the situation and was assured that there would be no further postponement on the rescheduled date. Next week, everything was carried out smoothly and the doctor gave me some medicine which has started showing results. Thanks to Dr. Hanson, I can now take a bite or two of sugary food.

What type of appointment it was​?

I took an appointment last week for my nail art with one of the most famous nail artists. Today I am going to talk about how it was put out and I was left disappointed. It was when I was scrolling Instagram and saw an advertisement for nail art by the artist. I was surprised to see the beautiful nail art that was featured in the profile. The reviews were flooded with praise. It instantly excited me as I never had nail art done and so I decided to give it a try. I booked the appointment and was given the same for 4 pm the next day. Since I was a newbie, I thought maybe I need some preparation before I hit the nail art salon.

When it was?

I read about it and some articles suggested the dos and don’ts of pedicures and manicures. I felt I learned something new like requesting the nail artists to not cut the cuticles as it protects bacteria growth. I was all ready and slept dreaming of the beautiful nails that I would have the next day. I already took a leave from the workplace as the appointment was given for 4 pm and I couldn’t have managed both work and nail art done on the same day.

Why it was brought forward?

Besides, I also needed a day off from working endlessly. I needed an excuse and I found it in the name of self-care. I decided that I would get neon pink nail art like Nicki Minaj with some customizations. At 3 pm, I was ready to leave the house when my phone rang. It was the call from the nail art studio and the woman over the call informed me that my appointment had been rescheduled as the artist had to attend to one of his very important clients whose wedding was to be held on the same day. I was disappointed as I spent the whole day thinking about it and even took leave from work.

Explain how you felt about it?

When you look forward to something exciting and it doesn’t see the face of reality, it feels extremely disheartening. I felt the same at that moment. I was informed that my nail art appointment was scheduled for the next day at the same time. I requested them to schedule it after 7 as I wouldn’t be taking leave from work. They considered the request and the next day I had my nails done. I was also given a discount as an apology for rescheduling my appointment. I liked the artwork as it was exactly what I wanted and I recommend all my friends to get their nail art done from the same place too.
