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 always remain ready for giving a helping hand to other for their work.I am working in a courier service so I can help them in putting correct addresses and proper enclosing the envelope. I am new learner so I am not sure about my wording that is it understandable or not.

I usually help my colleagues in their office work and for my friends, I buy a coffee for them when they don't have time to take a little break.

In my work. I help my partners to resolve the maintenance problems in the aeroplanes and to organize the technical information bout it. My boss orders me to do every task with extreme precaution and don't forget the tools on the plane.
