Would you correct my English? ( Feb. 27 )

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

No. 1

M: My dish hasn't come yet, but please eat while it's hot.

F: Thank you. But your dish [ order ] is coming soon. I'll wait ( for it ).

M: OK. Then I'll tell you why this restaurant is so popular while waiting.

F: Sounds interesting. I'd like to hear [ listen ].

No. 2

M: You're listening to nice music.

F: This is very popular with [ among ] young people.

M: I see. But it's just a bit loud for me. I prefer slow music

like [ such as ] ballad.

Thank you. kenta

  • F: Thank you .
