I wish you would pass this test

Dear Mum,

I feel really unhappy! I wish I ( didn't accept/wouldn't accept/hadn't accepted) this job. If only I listened/had listened/would listen/ to you before I made the decision to come here. The people here are unfriendly. I wish I would have/had/had had friendlier colleagues. And I don't even have breaks! If only I had /would have/had had longer breaks.

Looking at a computer screen all day is tiring; I wish my computer explode/would explode/will explode! And I wish my boss would stop/had stopped/stopped yelling at me all the time. He's always in a bad mood. It's so annoying! Also, I wish there had been/would be/were someone here I could talk to, but there is no one I can talk to. I haven't made any friends. If only I would have made/made /had made some friends when I arrived here, but meeting new people is very difficult. I wish you lived/would live/had lived/ nearer to me. If only I could have seen/would see/could see you more often!

Please write soon. I miss you!

Love,

Mary
