Would you correct my English? (Mar. 25)
Hello. I wrote two dialogues. Will you correct them?
No. 1
M: This chair is killing my back.
F: Really? Why don't you ask the company to buy a new one? They have

M: I see. I'll give it a try.
No. 2
M: You'll never guess what I heard about my boss and his secretary.
F: That sounds intriguing. Tell me ( about it )!
M: OK. But this is top secret, right? Takeshi saw them at ...
Oh, someone is here! I'll have to tell you later.
Thank you. kenta
