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.

Of course. Sometimes my friends ask me for help to teach them in mathematics. I feel so happy when I can help them. But, I can't always help them because I still have to learn more about math. I like help others especially when it is my hobby, such as making poster or editing video.

Yes, I sometimes help others with their work whenever I get a request from them such as making a phone call, receiving customers, translating documents, giving a presentation to customers, booking a meeting room, getting takeaways when they don't have time for lunch, collecting customers at the airport, checking reports for colleagues, or even lending a pen and paper, etc. Helping others with their work makes me happier.

Yes. I usually try to answer my coworkers' questions as quick as I can. I'm a little perfectionist so I'm always looking for the best way to resolve problems and I'm always able to help people when they need something from me.

Most of the time I don't help others because I got scared that I might mess things up. sometimes I help my college friends in college assignments.

Thanks
