  4. Reading 2b (p. 91) • Choose the most suitable heading for each paragraph. • ??? • 1 a; 2 b; 3 d; 4 e; 5 c

  5. Reading 2c (p. 91) • Matchtheseinventionswiththetype of engineeringfieldmentioned in thetext. • 1) roads • 2) aircraft • 3)a washingmachine • 4) microchips • 5) heartpacemaker civilengineering aerospaceengineering Mechanicalengineering Computerengineering Biomedicalengineering

  6. LISTENING (p. 91) • 3a Lindsay Barone is one of the few women engineers in a high position. Listen to the interview. • What type of engineering has she worked in? • -Aerospace engineering; but she studied mechanical engineering at university.

  7. LISTENING (p. 91) • Do activities 3b and 4.

  8. VOCABULARY: word combination (p. 91) • 5a Match the verbs with the most appropriate words and phrases. Make a breakthrough Build a model/prototype Find a solution Solve a problem Meetdeadlines Do someresearch Do safetytests Test a theory

  9. VOCABULARY: word combination (p. 91) • 5b Complete the sentences with an appropriate combination from exercise 5a. The first letter of the noun is given.

  10. SPEAKING: Activity 6 (p. 91) Work with a partner. Look at the list of some great engineering achievements.

  11. Add one more achievement to each category. Decide which is the greatest engineering achievement in each category.

  12. 9.2 GRAMMAR: The Passive (p. 93) • Look at these sentences and spot the passive structure • The earth has been struck many times in the past by large objects. • The meteorite is estimated to be 12 kilometres in diameter. • The rock, 2001 YB5, was first seen in December 2000. • Only about half of the large Near Earth Objects (NEOs) have been found. • It is estimated that about 500 NEOs have not yet been discovered. • 30 percent of the sky hasn’t been surveyed. • A research project has just been set up by NASA. • Computer simulations will be used to work out the feasibility of changing the direction of asteroids. • Plans have already been announced by European Science Agency. • Two spacecrafts will be used.

  13. 9.2 GRAMMAR: The Passive (p. 93) • In which tense are these passive structures formed? • The earth has been struck many times in the past by large objects. • The meteorite is estimated to be 12 kilometres in diameter. • The rock, 2001 YB5, was first seen in December 2000. • Only about half of the large Near Earth Objects (NEOs) have been found. • It is estimated that about 500 NEOs have not yet been discovered. • 30 percent of the sky hasn’t been surveyed. • A research project has just been set up by NASA. • Computer simulations will be used to work out the feasibility of changing the direction of asteroids. • Plans have already been announced by European Science Agency. • Two spacecrafts will be used.

  17. 9.3 Vocabulary • Aviation (n.): the activity of flying aircraft, or of designing, producing, and keeping them in good condition: • e.g: the British Civil Aviation Authority • e.g: the US Federal Aviation Administration • e.g: aviation fuel

  18. 9.3 Vocabulary • Prototype (n.): the first example of something, such as a machine or other industrial product, from which all later forms are developed: • e.g: a prototype for/of a new car

  19. 9.3 Vocabulary • Flight test (n. Phr.): a branch of aeronautical engineering that develops and gathers data during flight of an aircraft

  20. 9.3 Vocabulary • Mass-produce (v.): to produce a lot of goods cheaply using machines in a factory

  21. 9.3 Vocabulary • Modification (n.): a change to something, usually to improve it: • e.g: Modification of the engine to run on lead-free fuel is fairly simple. • e.g: A couple of modifications and the speech will be perfect.

  22. 9.3 Vocabulary • Simulation (n.): a model of a set of problems or events that can be used to teach someone how to do something, or the process of making such a model: • e.g: The manager prepared a computer simulation of likely sales performance for the rest of the year.

  23. 9.3 Vocabulary • Wind-tunnel (n. Phr.): a closed passage or room through which currents of air are forced in order to study the effects of moving air on aircraft and other vehicles

  24. Grammar: ARTICLES • We use a/an: - When we refer to a singular-countable noun for the first time • We use the: • When we refer to something that has been mentioned before • With the names of some countries (the USA, the UK, the Netherlands, the Czech Republic) • With the names of geographical features (seas, island groups, mountain ranges, oceans, rivers…) • When there is only one of something (The tunnel) • When we know which thing the speaker/writer refers to (the sea…)
