Amy: Hey, Andy. Long time no see. What happened to you?

Andy: I really wanted to go to the music festival in London last weekend — but I wasn’t able to go. My parents said I was too young.

Amy: Oh, what a pity! 

Andy: It’s a long story. My dad never lets me do anything alone. He thinks I shouldn’t travel to any place without him. I shouldn’t see a film in the movie theatre. I shouldn’t accept gifts from any girl. 

Amy: Aren’t you able to plan your own activities in your spare time?

Andy: No. Sometimes I think school is better than home — at least I am able to take a breath there!

Amy: That’s too bad. They must love you very much. You should have a talk with your parents.
