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

 

No. 1

 

M: I'll have strawberry ice cream for dessert.

 

F: You'd better not. Don't you realize how much sugar ( there are ) in it?

 

M: But it has real strawberry ( there's real strawberry in it). It says so on the package.

 

F: Sugar is one of the worst things if you are [ want ] to lose your weight.

 

No. 2

 

M: I don't think it will [ is going to ] rain this evening.

 

F: Why not? [ Why do you think so? ] Don't you see the black clouds in the sky?

 

M: Of course, yes. But we can see the blue sky in the west.

 

   It means it'll be fine.

 

                                          Thank you.        kenta
