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! My name is Chloe. In my work sometime I am being a supervisor to teach the new staff. Example we have the email tasks so I teach them how to write and send emails.

I think team work make dreams work so we usually have to help each other at work. I help my colleagues everyday. I train the junior colleagues, tell them what they should do if they still not get used to the job or when they make mistakes. Beside, I help the others to keep finishing their job when they have something urgent to do. On the other hand, I also usually receive much help from everyone in my company.
