    Adjective+する means make it _____. It conjugates like “adjective + なる” in chapter 10 (p.234). 安くする means make it cheaper. ~たらどうですか goes after the same ending as in the past tense short form, so 安くした+らどうですか is correct.

    That was close Jim-san.

    The last one is wrong.

    3.
    たけし: 今日は佐藤さんの誕生日ですから、皆からお金を集めて佐藤さんがほしいものを買おうと思います。田中さんと吉田さんからはもうお金を(C. もらった)ので、まだお金を払っていない人は500円ずつ払ってください。

    田中: えー、500円(A. も)払うんですか。ちょっと高いですね。もう少し(B. 安くし)たらどうですか。

    Translation:
    Takeshi: It’s Satou’s birthday, so I’m thinking to gather money from everyone to buy something he wants. I already received money from Tanaka and Yoshida, so if you haven’t payed yet please give me 500 yen each.

    Tanaka*: What? We have to pay 500 yen? That’s a bit expensive. Why don’t you make it a bit cheaper?

    *Tanaka is complaining about how expensive it is, so he suggests making it cheaper. There are two different Tanakas in the sentences, so it was confusing. I should have changed the names. I’m sorry about that.

    It’s too bad that you couldn’t take pictures. A lot of places are like that. I like seeing inside of old temples 🙂

    Jim-san

    That was so close Jim san!

    1. B;C;C
    →B;A;A
    きません is already polite, so adding です is wrong. The best answer here are まだ. まだ is a useful word. You can say, まだです, まだなんです, まだだとおもう and so on.

    2. C;E;B;F;D;A
    →All correct!

    Yes 🙂

    Byodo-in temple is a very beautiful one. It’s not close to other famous temples, so you need to take a bus to get there, but it is worth visiting it. If you can see inside too, that would be very nice. I like the inside decorations.

    Hello Jim-san
    It looks like you are having some trouble with でしょう (p.274) and na-adjective/noun + ので(p.273).

    1.A
    → B
    (I-adj=>寒い+でしょう→寒いでしょう)
    (Na-adj/noun=>きれい(な)→きれいでしょう)
    (Verb=>食べる→食べるでしょう)

    2.D
    → Good

    3.C
    → D
    In casual situation, you can use でしょう in question intonation, and most often pronounced as somewhat shorted でしょ.(p.275)
    4.B
    → Good

    5.D
    → Good

    6.B
    → C
    明日は月曜日(なので)いそがしいです。
    な-adjective or a noun + ので => add な before ので

    I’ll make some more questions for you to practice these points 🙂
