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.

Yes, I do. I sometimes help my friends with their lessons. Sometimes they didn't know what the teacher told about the lessons. So I explain them what they don't understand.

Hi all, am just start learning English, I need your recommendation for the best way to start learning, its batter to learn every day one lesson from each skill like listening, reading, writing, and speaking? I appreciate your support
Hi!!! How are you ? I'm like you. First I took the exam to know, how my english was, then I started the selfcourse from the first begginig (A1-1) to solidify my english. I imposed to myself to everyday do one lesson and praticing all 4 skills ( listening, reading, writing, and speaking). For me the hardest is speaking, but today I started the course A2-2, and my english (speaking is starting to improve) So good luck ! #stayathome ps. I wrote all of this without going to translater.

Hello Layth710

If you're using a computer, you can right-click on the audio player and choose the 'Save As' option to download the audio to your computer. I believe it's also possible on some mobiles and tablets, but how exactly you do it depends on the browser and operating system.

All the best
