Read the below conversation.

M: Are you quite independent of your parents now?

W: Yes. As soon as I left school, I... my studies as a nurse. I stopped asking my parents for money since I got financial support from the government. But I still stay with them a lot.

M: You're staying ... very close to your parents?

W: I am. They never forced me to do anything I didn't want to do. What about you?

M: Well, I am also fond of my family. But I don't always get on very well with them. They try to control me too much.

W: But they allowed you to come to study in England on your own.

What would the listener say?


M: Yes, but, only after a lot of persuasion. Your parents treat you as an adult. Mine treat me as a child.
