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.

I used to help my friend and other students during university with exams and specific subjects. Now days I always ask my colleagues after I finish my jobs, is there anything that I can do for you ? and I'm helping them with simple tasks.

Yes.. I do help the people! I often help my classmates with my fairly written lecture notes.

we must help everyone. always I help any person need to help.

Hi everybody! I rarely help to my colleagues at work.

When I was young, I helped many friends and relatives with their studies, without pay, for friendship only. After, in work, I always helped my colleagues, but they collaborated with me too.

This way to learn English is so great and helpful .. thank you British council for this .

I always help the people I work with, sometimes I talking at a costumer or making a new map.
