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.

No, I don't .
I do help other people with their work only when they ask for help or when I feel that their work is too hard for them to do .
I know this may not be a good thing but I prefer ti finish my work first .
If you noticed any mistakes in my commen , please correct it for me .
Thanks .

Hi ahmedaabed,

Actually, we don't correct comments here, but if you have a specific question, feel free to ask it and we'll try to help :)

Sometimes I like helping my colleagues at work if I have available time, but if I am handling many tasks, I prefer to finish them first. for instance, the task I can help with my co-worker is preparing the reports for a presentation, completing pending items in the units, arrange meetings with the customer.

Yes I do. Working in team means that it has to be collaborative
