Would you correct my English? ( Sept. )
Hello. I wrote two dialogues. Would you check them?
No. 1
M: We're celebrationg the end of exam( s ) this Friday with a
party at Bob's ( house ). ( Are you ) Going to join us?
F: Don't I wish, but I have a TOEIC this Sunday.
M: It's a shame! We'll be thinking of you. Good luck!
No. 2
M: Could you give me your name, please?
F: Sure. Anne Cooke. Anne has an "e" at the end and Cooke
starts with a "C", not a "K".
M: OK. I got it.
Thank you! kenta

No. 1 M: We're celebra ting the end of ( the ) exams this Friday with a party at Bob's ( house ). ( Are you ) Going to join us?
- No.
- 1 M: We're celebra ting the end of ( the ) exams this Friday with a party at Bob's ( house ).
- ( Are you ) Going to join us?
- -- "end of the exam" is also grammatically possible, but it seems much more likely that you are talking about the end of a period when several exams have been sat.
- Omitting "Are you" happens in speech but looks pretty abbreviated in writing.
