Will you correct my English? (Aug.17)
Hello. I wrote two dialogues. Will you correct them?
No. 1
On the way to the airport.
M: Can't you go ( any ) faster? I have to check in by 9:30.
F: I'm sorry, but please understand how the traffic is.
M: Only 10 more minutes. I'll never make it.
No. 2
M: Excuse me, but you can't leave your car ( unattended ) here.
F: I know, but I'm just stepping into the terminal to go to the
restroom [ lavatory ]. ( Q. Which is better? )
M: Even so, you ( 'll ) have to park [ leave ] your car in the parking lot.
Thank you. kenta

the no 1 I think is good already. but the 2nd one, I think the right one should be I know, but I just stepped into the terminal and the correct one should be restroom (lavatory is uncommon as it is used only on the plane) the rest are fine

Thank you, Clive. M is a police officer, and in Japan, even a female uses this kind of
expression as an excuse ( of course it's not polite, though ).
You helped me a lot!
