Nice really....decided to start with the beginner lessons...

I help to send e-mails & prepare the sample files

Yes. I guess I help other people. I help my mum and dad when they need help in the kitchen or in the garden. When someone asks for my idea or recommendation on something or simply any other help, I'm so happy to help them. I am as honest as I can be.

I helped to build a big house to my brother last year.

I very often helped my colleagues with their work, giving them some advices and recommendations; furthermore I supported other people with their courses of study, with private lessons and consultancy relating to graduation thesis.

In company, my all tasks are ensuring Apps working well on different varieties of phones, so i always help developers find out the bugs as much as possible.

This is good one
