Would you correct my English? ( Jan. 28 )

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

No. 1

F: It's good to see you here, Mai. I missed you at the party last night.

M: Sorry, Ken. My dog got sick and I had to take him to the vet

after work. I'll make it up to you one of these days.

No. 2

M: I'm not sure there will be enough for everyone at the party with

this recipe.

F: I agree. Besides, it's difficult to get some of the ingredients.

M: We'd better have second thought, then.

Thank you. kenta

This all looks OK to me except: "We'd better have second thought, then." The phrase is "second thoughts", but it doesn't fit here. There are various things you could say; the most obvious that comes to mind is:

"We'd better think of something else, then."

Another thing I noticed is that character "M" is addressed as "Mai", which fits, but character "F" is addressed as "Ken", whi

Thank you, Mr Wordy. I make dialogues for myself, and show them to my firends.

They study English by reading these dialogues.
