10. Offering Help



1.

A: I was wondering if you need any help on your new project.

B: Sure! That would be great! Are you good at writing or would you rather do the computer work?

A: I would like to help with the computer work.

B: Great! We are going to be working in teams of three. Are you OK working with others?

A: Yes, I like working like that.

B: We will begin next Monday. Would you be available then?

A: Yes, I can be there.

B: Well, if you could send me your basic background information before next Monday, it would be useful.

A: I will send the information to you.

B: Well then, thanks for your help. Have a great day!



2.

A: Would you like me to help you on your new project?

B: I would love the help! Would you prefer helping with the writing part or is programming more your thing?

A: I would enjoy helping with the writing portion.

B: Perfect! You'll be working alone on that portion. Do you like to work alone?

A: That is OK sometimes.

B: Our first meeting is next Monday. Could you meet with us at that time?

A: No, I can't be there.

B: Please send me your background information before the meeting so I can look at it.

A: I can send that information to you.

B: OK. I look forward to working with you. Enjoy your week!



3.

A: Could I help you on your new project?

B: I have a need for help with writing and also a need for help with the computer work. Which would you prefer?

A: I want to help with both.

B: That would be wonderful. Sometimes we will be working together and sometimes independently. Would that be OK?

A: Most of the time that is what I prefer.

B: We start on Monday. Can you be there?

A: I am not sure yet.

B: I need your background information before the meeting.

A: I will do that.

B: I'll enjoy working with you. Have a great day!
