Preparation

Transcript

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.

I own a small business. I am a manager. As a manager , I am responsible for everything that happen in my work. So my conclusion to this lesson is that to be successful in our work , we must help and respect each other from the bottom to the top.

Hei,
I can't understand how to arrange the answers according to their order of priority in Task 2.
Have only to click on the sentence, or to click on the hand icon and to drag.
I tried all, but I do not succeed to fulfill the exercise.
Thank you for the attention!

Hi bovary,

Try clicking once on an answer, then clicking on where you want to put it (i.e., you make two clicks). You can't drag the answers in this type of exercise. :)
