Would you correct my English? ( Feb. 13 )
Hello. I wrote two dialogues. Will you correct them?
No. 1
M: Did you get a ( phone ) call from Saki?
F: No. She's never been late. The bus must be late.
M: I wonder if we should start without her.
F: Well, it can't be helped [ we can't help it ]. She'll soon catch up with us.
No. 2
M: It's freezing cold, isn't it?
F: Yes, it certainly is. What a cold day!
M: Keep yourself warm and get some rest today.
F: Thank you. Take care of yourself not to catch a cold [ prevent a cold ] , too.
Thank you. kenta
