✔ 最佳答案
1. I would like to have the set lunch with soup and coffee, please.
( change '' want to '' to '' would like to'' to make it more polite)

2. Would you mind closing the window for me please?
(To make it more polite, I don't think it is necessary to change the word '' close '' .
To use this pattern '' Would you mind verb+ing " is more polite in this situation.
意思是 : 你介不介意為我關上這個窗?
