Would you check my English? (Sep.12)
Hello. I wrote two dialogues. Will you correct them?
No. 1
M: I'm looking for a cheap flat close to the station.
F: There are some good studios around here. They're about $ 300.
M: Wow... a little expensive [ pricey ] for me. Would you find me another?
No. 2
M: How are you two doing here? Let me get you some drinks.
F: Good. Coffee for me. I('ll) have to drive tonight.
M: Glad to hear it [ that ]. We should avoid drink drive.
Thank you. kenta

Very good work. Just a gentle reminder: always use the gerund after "avoid."

M: I'm looking for a cheap flat close to the station? what do you mean this? I'm sorry, I hardly understand your sentence. Try this one:
M: I'm looking for a cheap studio just near the (post station, gasoline station etc.). Kenta, try to complete your sentence so we can understand it better. for example, close the station...the question is that, what kind of station?...we have m

Hi Begae,
Thank you for taking the time to try to help.
However, your remarks suggest to me that you do not have a lot of experience listening to natural and informal conversation between native speakers. Such conversation is often very different to what people learn in classrooms, particularly from teachers who are not native speakers.

Hi Begae,
I earnestly suggest that you follow Clive’s advice. I tend to agree with what he said. Classroom English is not exactly the same with natural conversational English. BTW, a flat is not the same as a “studio”.

I agree, Begae. Some of your corrections are simply unnecessary (there's nothing at all wrong with "I'm looking for a cheap flat close to the station") and some are inappropriate to the situation ("what are you doing here" instead of "how are you two doing here"). Some of your own grammar, in your "corrections" as well as your comments, is just incorrect ("If you drunk, don't drive your car.")
