Mario: OK, sure. What can I help you with?

Susanne: I need to visit the customer in Germany. It's important.

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.

Thanks for your kind response.

I help my Friends by explaining that they need to know from Textbook.

Yes, I definitely do help other people in their work if they need as long as I can help, I can do that by giving advice or suggesting solutions if they face a problem. I also could tell them about someone else who might be able to offer help if I can't.

Can you help me learn the language

Yes , I do that with my boss I help him to finish alot for work

Yes, I do help people at work, my neighbours and others do prepare their meals when they are busy, look after my friends or relatives kids when they need help or help elder people specially my neighbours to do their DIY and gardening. We all need a bit of help from others no matter what.

Sometimes, I help some people to finish their works in time. When they are busy and tired, I try to help them as much as I can.

I often help my colleagues as much as I can. If they have got sickness , I work as a substitute teacher in class. I sometimes look after my nephew if their parents are busy

I don't work, but if i work, sure I will help other people with their work, because we always need someone to do pretty much everything, work is a learning and if you help other peoples you will be helped as well,and this help us to grow as professional,it's a kind action.
