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.

hi!
Yes, sometimes I help my colleagues to do different tasks. Often it's some kind of reports or presentations. Sometimes I take part in freelance projects and to do different research tasks.

I'm proud that I'm the kind of person that I like to help people whether request me to give it or not, and i enjoy a lot to give it.

For example, and not as a limitation:
When I was a child until now, I have helped my parents to do their daily basis work, where I always have helped my mother clean the house, shopping, and help my father on the farm.
I also have helped my siblings to do their homework and prepare for exams.

At work, I usually provide the necessary support to my students, especially during the exam period. In addition to that, I have helped my new colleagues to prepare presentations to their students.

Finally, I can say that helping people is an image of our humanity.
