Grammar
Would you correct my English? (July. 13)
Hello. I wrote two dialogues. Will you correct them?
: Do you want cream or sugar in your coffee?
F: Just cream, if you don't mind.
M: Oops. sorry, I shouldn't have asked. I'm out of sugar.
M: Well, I guess we'll take [ have ] a coffee break unless there's
some work to do now.
F: No. I'd like you to type ( up ) these memos. Let's have a break
after that. If you like, let's do it over a cup of coffee.

Hi Kenta,
The grammar is okay. With the first one, it would be a bit more natural - since the person only wants cream and NOT sugar - to say something like "good thing!" (good thing you want only cream and not sugar.
M: Oops! That's good. Because I forgot that out of sugar anyway!
With the second, again, the grammar is okay, but it's not very natural business chat.
