Dear mum,

I'm writing to explain why I've left home. I'm so sorry about it.

When I was a little girl, I (not - visit) my friends.

On the other hand, Sarah and Betty, my classmates, (see) each other every day.

They (go) to the cinema or to a birthday party,

but I (never - join) them.

Before I was twelve, I (not - watch) TV after eight o'clock. And I didn't know what my friends were talking about the next day.

Mum, can you remember what you promised when I was fifteen?

'You (do) whatever you will want when you are eighteen.'

Now I am twenty and so far I (not - spend) any holiday with my boyfriend.

Last year, I (stay) overnight at his parents' cottage, but my younger brother had to accompany me. It's absurd.

I (invite) my friends to our house one day?

Or I (drive) our car since I received my driving licence? No, never.

Now I am twenty and I've had enough of it. I want to be free. That's why I've moved to Sarah's place for the time being.
I'll keep in touch. Please, write back soon.

Love,

Samantha

P.S.
By the way, I (come) for dinner on Saturday?
