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 everyone,
I have started learning English and I believe that this journey will continue, as this language is very important for my carrier. Addtionally, I try to help others their work, whether they be old people, coworkers,or even myself. Helping others should be a priority in our world.

I don't like help pretty, because people get used to it, and later, they won't do it themselves. It's different when that is my job, in that case I have to help them.

I do want to help others, but in fact I have to finish my own at first. I'm a helpless procrastinator.
