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.

Yes, I think I am a giving person. I feel I am a nice person when I give others some help. And I like that feeling. I just show my helpful and my friends say what they need.

yes.i help my father jobs sometimes. and then i cook dinner for helping to my mom.thanks

I have a good habit, of being able to help others when they are in need. Usually, i help my parent with house chores, my brother with his homework and my grandparents in garden. I like helping people when i have free time and that make me feel a better person. Sometimes i do volunteer job, once a week. I meet the children in need, that are suffering from different illnesses, and i try to make them live easier by playing different games together, and reading them stories. Also during my studies i used to help my colleagues with subjects and assignments that were more difficult to them than me. I was ready always to give them advice and to teach how to accomplish their projects and how to solve the accounting assignments.
