Is there something I can help you with?

I am waiting for the ferry for over three hours. Is this the right place to wait for the ferry? I don't know where I should go because I've never taken a ferry.

自然な表現

I've been waiting for the ferry for over three hours. Is this the right place to wait for the ferry? I don't know where I should go because I've never taken a ferry before.

1. Use the present perfect progressive tense because you are still doing the action even if it started at a certain point.
2. You can also add "before" here.
Oh no. The waiting area for the ferry is over there. Are you going to the lighthouse for a tour? If so, please go over there. The ferry ride is scheduled every hour.

Re, really? I have been thought that I was waiting for the right place. Yes, I am going to the lighthouse. Why did you know that. There are a lot of people. Are they also going to the lighthouse tour.

自然な表現

Really? I thought that I was waiting for the right place. Yes, I am going to the lighthouse. Why do you know that? There are a lot of people. Are they also going on the lighthouse tour?

1. Spelling corrected.
2. Use the past tense as it was a completed action or do you mean I have been told?
3. Make this in the present tense because you are talking to the person.
4. & 6. This is a question so use a question mark.
5. Use "on tour" when travelling on a tour.
A lot of tourists visit the lighthouse on the island a few times a day. Can I see your ticket, please?

Okay, here it is. When do we depart? Can you check the schedule for me? I need to back to my hotel by 7 pm because I am afraid of walking at night.

Okay, here it is. When do we depart? Can you check the schedule for me? I need to go back to my hotel by 7 pm because I am afraid of walking at night.

1. Here is an alternative expression to show politeness: Could.
2. Put the verb that is being described by the adverb.
Your ticket is supposed to be used 2 hours ago. I can change it for you since you were not aware of where the waiting area is. The ferry will be coming in in about 20 minutes. Here is your new ticket.

Oh! What a kind person you are! I thought that I had to pay extra, but I didn't need to do it. Are there any famous tourist spots around lighthouse? Maybe, I won't visit that island again, so I'd like to see and visit all the attractive spots.

1. Use "the" to specifically refer to that place there only.
This is part of our service since this kind of situation happens a few times a week. I need to keep your old ticket though, for our records. Is that okay?

Of course, it's okay. Similar things happen a few times a week. There are many stupid person. Hahaha. What? I'm also stupid person? Anyway, it's heavy rain today, so I can see only clouds. Where is the beautiful lighthouse?

1. Make this plural because you used "many."
2. Use "a" before an adjective that starts with a consonant sound describing a singular non-specific countable noun.
3. This should in the form of adjective and adverb to describe the subject.
4. Use the focusing adverb "only" before the verb "see" because it emphasizes the limit to what you see.
