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.

the audios are damaged

Hello Friddo1991,

Are you still unable to play the audio? It's working for me and I don't see any problems with it, so I suspect it may have been a temporary technical problem.

If you still can't see it, could you please try using a different browser or device to see if it works there?

If not, please let us what browser version you are using and I'll investigate further.

Thanks in advance and sorry for the inconvenience.

All the best,

Kirk

hii thanks for answers me,the problem continues, I can´t listen the audio, I use google chrome but also I have tried with opera and firefox and the problem continues.

Hello Friddo1991,

I'm sorry for the inconvenience. As far as I can tell, there is nothing wrong with the audio on this page -- it works for me in Chrome and Firefox on a Windows 10 computer and also in Chrome on an iOS mobile phone.

If you are able to, I'd suggest updating your browsers. If you tell me what kind of device you are using and what browser version numbers you are using, that might also help.

It's also possible you are in one of a few locations where our audio sometimes does not work, but as far as I know, it should work in Ecuador.

All the best,

Kirk
