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.

Yes I sometimes help other people with their work. For example I help my mom. She gets tired while doing housework. Imm I guess that’s it. I can't think of anything else or I am not helping anyone else. :D

Yes, I do help other people, if they would look at my help or need it. Particularly, in the workplace or even on the street seeing as most elderly people can be asked for help. For example, if they would take on a bus or stepping to go out. In this circumstance, I am ready to help them. Overall, I try to help other people around me.
