Susanne: Hi, Mario. Can you help me prepare some things for the next month?

Mario: OK, sure. What can I help you with?

Susanne: I need to visit the customer in Germany. It's important.

Mario: What can I do to help?

Susanne: Can you send an email to the customer? Ask them when I can visit them next week. Please do this first. It's a priority and very urgent.

Mario: Right. I'll do it today.

Susanne: Thanks. This next task is also important. Can you invite everyone to the next team meeting?

Mario: Yes, I will.

Susanne: But first you need to book a meeting room. After that, please send everyone an email about it.

Mario: Yes, of course.

Susanne: And finally, can you write a short report about our new project? I have to give a presentation to our managers next month. Please do it when you have time – sometime in the next two or three weeks. It's not too urgent.

Mario: Sure, no problem. I can do it this week.

Susanne: There's no hurry. Take your time.

sometimes i help other persons in my wok specially when they request.

I used to help to write the dairy reports or maybe with field work if I had free time

I believe in team work. In healing others am actually exhibiting what I believe in

I help other people more than do somethink for myself. It's a bad habbit. I have to change my life priority.

I am willing and happy when help someone do something. Because I am feel that very advantage and I can save my time when somebody help me. So I often give someone a hand when they need my help. I used to help my friend lifting a heavy thing, writting an email for their customer, or booking a restaurance for their dinner.

I help my father taking the print outs in the computer and sending emails.

thanks for a great lesson. I am interested to help other people as much as I can..usually I help my colleague in medical university to pass the exam and give people medical advice when they need.

very good
