Will you correct my English? ( May 5 )

Hello. I wrote two dialogues. Will you correct them?

No. 1

M: Can I take out two lettuce hamburgers and a decaf, please?

[ Can I buy ... to go, please? ]

F: Sorry. As the burger features freshness, it cannot be taken out of the shop.

M: Oh, I forgot it. For here, then.

No. 2

M: What kind of books do you read ( most )?

F: I love thrillers and suspense novels [ stories ].

M: How many books do you read ( in ) a month?

F: It varies. And I subscribe to several magazines.

Thank you. kenta

Hi, Mr Micawber. Just for your information, there was a lettuce burger we couldn't take out in Japan. At that shop, we couldn't take out that burger ( of course it was possible to take out the other menus).

Thank you anyway.

It remains a foolish practice and one that would only dumbfound English speakers. Do not use it.
