    Conversation training 2.

    [Not strictly conversation, but you'll have to write English at some point...]

    Could you please check my text   more naturally for appropriate grammar and phrasing? Thank you for your help!

    In a language school.(Teacher=T, Student=S)

    T) How do you come here? get to school is probably better phrasing.

    S) I usually drive here, it takes about 30 minutes. I usually drive here. It takes about 30 minutes. --- Use two sentences.  If you use a comma you'll have a "run-on sentence"  You could also use a semicolon instead of the comma, or an "and" following the comma.

    T) Why don't you come by train? take the train is, also, probably better.

    S) Because it takes more time, a little less than one hour.  --- "Because" needs a complete sentence to follow it, or it becomes a "sentence fragment."  Try I don't because it takes longer: a little less than an hour.  N.B. "a liitle less than one hour" is a dependent clause, so use a colon prior to it.

    T) I see.


    T) Where do you live?
    S) I live in the next city. a neighboring city
    T) What is there famous for?  either it or your city
    S) It's famous for local japanese Sake! Japanese sake Japanese is a proper noun, so you should capitalize it. Sake is a common noun, so you should not capitalize it. (Although Scotch, as in Scottish whisky, is a proper noun.)
    I recommend you it to drink. You can buy it near here. I'd recommend that you try some.  (or an idiom - I'd recommend that you check it out.) Near here or around here is acceptable, although nearby is probably better.
