Нужно перевести в косвенную речь и именно с прошедшим временем 1. hi, my name’s sarah and i’m sixteen. my father’s making my life so miserable! i used to get on so well with him, but these days all we do is argue and yell at each other. he’s so strict and has these really old-fashioned views. he won’t let me date boys, he won’t let me wear make-up, and he always says i should learn to behave and treat him with respect. i wish he'd just let me alone, but how can i make him understand this?
