Kenta  +  960653 Tue, 03 Nov 09 12:33 PM Hello. I wrote two dialogues. Will you correct them?   No. 1   M: Don't you think his calculation ability would be an asset here?   F: Yeah. He has learned the Japanese abacus for a long time.   M: He has a clear advantage over someone [ anyone ] who uses      ( desktop ) calculator.   No. 2   M: Hi, Yoko. You're wearing a nice scarf.   F: Oh, thank you. I wondered how I ( would ) look.   M: It really looks good [ nice ] on you. I like the color, too.   F: That's a nice compliment. You always make me happy.                                              Thank you.            kenta   Kenta Joined on Fri, Dec 21 2007 Regular Member 530 kenta

He's been  learning the Japanese abacus for a long time.   M: He has a clear advantage over someone [ anyone ] who uses     a ( desktop ) calculator. This whole dialogue above seems a bit stilted to me.   Are they talking about his speed or his accuracy?    No. 2   M: Hi, Yoko. You're wearing a nice scarf.   F: Oh, thank you. I was wondering how it looked.   M: It really looks good [ nice ] on you. I like the color, too.   F: That's a nice compliment.
