Would you correct my English, please? ( Mar. 30 )
Hello. I wrote two dialogues. Would you check them, please?
No. 1
M: Why did you leave school early [ earlier than usual ] today?
F: I didn't feel [ wasn't feeling ] well.
M: Really? Have you seen a doctor?
F: No. I hate ( to get ) shots.
No. 2
M: It's taking a long time for the food to arrive.
F: Yeah? How long does it usually take?

Kenta -- I see no real problems with dialogue 1. Your bracketed text would make the dialogue more formal, but the grammar with or without it is fine. In your second dialogue I would suggest that the final sentence is a bit awkward because of prepositional choice.
