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.

Most of the time I help others in thier works. I help others in what I am able to such as following:
I am a computer science student, about an hour before one of my friend asked me to help him for installing the windows and other useful software and I did it.
Sometimes I help my friends when they need money. Sometimes I help my sister for making a CV and transplanting a message from English to Persian.
Sometimes I help my friend to prepare meal.
Sometimes I help my family by sending them money.
I also help friends for thier documentation staffs.

I've been helping my boss with a lot of his work at the office. For example, service attention (I don't know what this means), writing emails, answering phone calls, writing reports, etc. It's very important for me to help my colleagues.
