Subject: Great presentation!

Hi Jon

I'm just writing to say well done on your presentation this morning. It was not an easy task and I'm glad it went well.

You were well prepared. The content was relevant and easy to follow. You also thought about the questions people would have. I think they were impressed! I'm sure everyone feels happier about the new system now.

If you have time, please could you listen to my presentation for next week?

See you later
Sue

I'm a student so instead of congratulate collegues, I'm really proud of my friends when they done the good work.

Yes, I did. I congratulated my friend for their graduating from nursing college. And also I congratulated her for her wedding. I wish her the best life.

Could you help me with my presentation next week if you have time. Best regards, Bee

It is very important to congratulate a colleague who has done well and learn from him or her

I do congratulate my colleagues on many occasions. When I have the opportunity to observe my colleague in his class, I congratulate him or her on the quality of the lesson. If my colleague did well, I do not hesitate to congratulate him, because for sure I learn something from every lesson I observe and we share ideas.
