Example of talking about changes

Brian   : So, are you still living with your parents, Terry?

Terry   : I'm afraid so. I wish I had my own apartment.

Brian   : Why? Don't you like living at home?

Terry   : It's OK, but my parents are always asking me to be home before midnight.

             I wish they'd stop worrying about me.

Brian   : Yeah, parents are like that!

Terry   : And they expect me to help around the house.

             I hate housework. I wish life weren't so difficult.

Brian    : So, why don't you move out?

Terry    : Hey, I wish I could, but where else can I get free room and board?
