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.

Absolutely, I usually help other people when I can. In school, I help my classmates understand the lessons and how to do our homeworks.In home, I help my mother with some simple works such as: cook meals,wash dishes,do the laundry,..etc.Helping other people is also a way I learn everything so that I'm always ready to help.

Hello everyone,
I am a project personal. Sometimes, the works may be hard for me and my colleague. A lot of surveys or reports can be giving as a task to our group. Then, we share with each other. As a result works are complete much easier.
