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.

Hi Jankin,

Welcome to LearnEnglish! We have a Getting Started section which should help you to familiarise yourself with the site:

https://learnenglish.britishcouncil.org/getting-started

LearnEnglish is a place to treat more like a library than a course. You can look for certain things you want to practise such as different skills or parts of language, or you can look for certain topics which interest you, or you can find interesting video, audio or written series to follow. You can also look for material at a given level. It really depends on you and what you want or need to work on.
