Would you correct my English? (May. 26)

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

No. 1

M: There's a lot [ much ] we can do to make our office space more efficient.

F: Yes, but I'm sure our boss won't lift a finger.

M: Really? I'll submit [ hand in ] a propsal for rearranging our office.

No. 2

M: Hi. I checked in an hour ago. I'll be staying [ stay ] here

for five days, and I wonder if you could keep my valuables.

F: Yes, sir, we certainly can. Put them on this tray, please.

M: Thanks. I appreciate it.

Thank you. kenta

Hi Kenta No. 1 M: There's a lot [ much ] we can do to make our office space more efficient. You can say either "there's a lot" or "there's much" but "a lot" is more common where I am.

Hi,

No. 1



M: There's a lot [ much ] we can do to arrange make our office space more efficiently.



F: Yes, but I'm sure the our boss won't lift a finger. This idiom makes it sound like he won't physically help to move the desks, etc. If you mean he won't agree to the idea, say 'he won't want to do
