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.

Hello. I don´t have a job yet. But i don´t hesitate to help others and i´m willing to explain to them anything i know and they don´t.
At home i help my mom with household duties like cooking, washing and storing clothes.

Hello
I believe you will have a good job as soon as possible. The important thing is not to lose faith. Helping your mother at home is in a way a job. I wrote this from google translate. My English is bad :(

oh really? I appreciate your help. I've been learning English for 2 months and I feel that it's pretty difficult. I need somebody who can help me to improve my English
