Would you correct my English？（July. 20）
Hello. I wrote two dialogues. Will you correct them?
No. 1
M: Have you considered our plan?
F: It was a very difficult decision, but finally I decided to go with Sony
instead of your firm.
M: Well, if that's [ it's ] your decision, it can't be helped.
No. 2
M: Have you called the repairman yet?
F: Yes, he'll be here any minute. He said he can [ could ] repair it right away.
M: Good. I need to copy a lot this afternoon.
Thank you. kenta

This looks OK to me. Where you have a "that's/it's" choice, I prefer "that's". In conversation, I'd more naturally say "I need to do a lot of copying this afternoon", but what you have is not wrong.
