Would you correct my English? (Apr.19)

Question

Hello. I wrote two dialogues. Would you check them?

No. 1

M: Are you ready to meet the president of the company?

F: Almost. All I have to do is feel [ get ] relaxed. I'm [ I feel ] a little nervous.

M: No worries. I've met him before and know he is friendly [ found him friendly ].

No. 2 At a restaurant

M: Excuse me. My son dropped his spoon. Could you bring him another one?

F: Certainly. I'll get one right away.[ Q. Can I use "immediately"? ]

M: Thank you for your trouble.

Thank you. kenta

These dialogues are very good. A couple of comments:

KentaF: Almost. All I have to do is feel [ get ] relaxed. I'm [ I feel ] a little nervous.

To me, "get relaxed" suits the sentence better than "feel relaxed". "I'm a little nervous" and "I feel a little nervous" are both fine.

KentaM: No worries. I've met him before and know he is friendly [ found him friendly ].

"No worries" is arguably not quite right here. It usually means that the speaker doesn't have any worries, whereas here the speaker seems to be trying to reassure someone else. "Don't worry" might be better.

"know he is friendly" and "found him friendly" are both fine. Remember that in conversation it's more common to say "he's" rather than "he is", unless you are emphasising the word "is".

KentaCertainly. I'll get one right away.[ Q. Can I use "immediately"? ]

Yes, "immediately" is fine.
