Would you correct my English? ( Oct. 6 )
Hello. I wrote two dialogues. Will you correct them?
No. 1
M: This is for you. I'm sure you'll like it.
F: Oh, how lovely ( it is ) ! This is just what I ( 've ) wanted.
How thoughtful of you!
M: You're welcome [ Forget it ]. I'm glad you like [ liked ] it.
( Q Any difference between like and liked? )
No. 2
M: You advertise CD players at a 30% discount, but the shop
across the street sells ( ones ) for 35% off. Here's a flier.
F: Oh, really? Then we'll sell them at a 40% discount.
M: Thank you. I'll take it.
Thank you. kenta

I think 'ones' needs a modifier: I like the green ones, not the blue ones. The ones at the other store are cheaper.
