He’s a good looking and fun and fun-loving boy and we (have) a great time together, but my mum __(not/like) him at all. The truth is that Nick isn’t a very good student. He (not/study) very hard but he (dance) very well and he (play) the guitar beautifully. In fact, he (play) with his group at a pub these days. Mum (not/want) me to be friends with Nick. You see, Mum always (complain) that I can’t choose the right friends. So, dear Ruth,here is the photograph of Nick. you (understand) why my mum doesn’t like him? How can I make her change her mind?
Please help me!
Yours,Mary
