What do you think of our plan?

It is essential that the delivery are made on time. This item will be used for a test manufacturing the day after delivery date.

自然な表現

It is essential that the delivery is made on time. This item will be used for a manufacturing test the day after the delivery date.

1) "delivery" is singular here
2) just a more natural word order in this noun phrase
3) article added
I t will be made on time, don't worry. Our company has a very strict shipment policy and company's reputation rests on its timely deliveries. Have you read the contract?

Yes,I read the contract. But can you explain the element of the contract? I would like to know about the compensate if the delay happens.

自然な表現

Yes, I read the contract. But can you explain to me some specific elements of the contract? I would like to know about the compensation if the delay happens.

1) "the element" here implies a singular topic we mentioned already, but we haven't mentioned anything so far, so I changed it into a more natural expression
2) noun form ("compensate" is verb)
I assure you that there will be no delay but, if that happens, we will sit and then negotiate the compensation terms. Just tell me the date when the delivery should be made.

It is not fixed but it will be around August 1. I think this one will be shiped from Seattle,so when will be the departure date?

自然な表現

It is not fixed but it will be around August 1. I think this one will be shiped from Seattle, so when do you plan to ship it?

This was good! This is not a necessary change, I just offered another expression.
That mostly depends on our today's agreement. If everything goes according to the plan, we should organize it within a week. Do you agree with the service fee I presented to you?

I agree with your condition of service. I will wait for your plan.

自然な表現

I agree with your terms and conditions. I will wait for your plan.

This is not a necessary correction, just a more natural expression; "terms and conditions" is an expression we use when we agree with formal requests from another client.

Nice work with the script, keep up the good work and enjoy your lessons! :)
