Preparation

Transcript

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.

Hello Hay Man Oo,

I'm afraid the material can only be listened to on the page, and cannot be downloaded for use elsewhere.

Hi everyone. I want you to help me to learning English very quickly and Use for a short time. What can i do? Sorry for any mistake.

Hello Sovanmony Kem,

 

Please take a look at our home page, where you can take a test to assess your level and use the search tool to find useful material.

 

Also, please read our Getting Started guide carefully. It will help you to organise your learning on the site most effectively.

 

As far as learning quickly goes, that's really up to you. The more time you invest, the quicker your progress will be. Try to use English as much as you can, reading a range of texts, listening or watching English-language media and even speaking to yourself at home to develop fluency. And don't give up - sometimes it seems progress is slow, but remember that progress is never slower than when you stop!

 

Good luck!

Hello everyone! When someone needs any help and asks me to give him a hand then I do all my best to help him. For instance when my parents are ill I always cook and do shopping for them.I also help my daughter and my son to do their homework.

I sometimes help other people with their work. Although, since I'm honest and kind, some people tend to use me to complete their work. I don't like it and I like to help other honest people like me who are serious to take a step further!

Do I sometimes help other people with their work? Yes, I do. I often help other people with their work. I am learning English now. I try to every day. And I try to teach with other people, especially on this beautiful site. I read the comments of other users on the site and I wonder how I could help them. Sometimes I write some answers. But I am not good at English. My English isn't good enough for me to be a teacher. But I can get help from The LearnEnglish Team. That's incredible. Help for free. Thanks The LearnEnglish Team. CAN YOU CORRECT ME?
