I TUNING
Task 1: Make a list of things in your house which use electronics Compare your list
with that of another group
Task 2: Find out the meaning of these abbreviations
Task 3: Read quickly through the text below Underline any items mentioned
in the list you made in Task 1
Electronics in the home
Electronics began at the start of the twentieth century with the invention of the vacuum tube The first devices for everyday use were radios, followed by televisions, record players, and tape recorders These devices were large and used a lot of power
The invention of the transistor in 1947 meant that much smaller, low- powered devices could be developed A wide variety of electronic devices such as hi-fi units and portable radios became common in the home
It was not until 1958 that microelectronics began with the development of ICs (integrated circuits) on silicon chips This led to a great increase in the use of electronics in everyday items The introduction of the microprocessor allowed electronics to be used for the control of many common processes
Microprocessors are now used to control many household items such as automatic washing-machines, dishwashers, central heating systems, sewing machines, and food processors Electronic timers are found in digital alarm clocks, water heaters, electric cookers, and microwave ovens Telephones use electronics
to provide automatic dialling and answerphone facilities New entertainment devices have been developed, such as video recorders and CD (compact disc) players
In the future, electronics are likely to become even more common in the home as multimedia entertainment systems and computer controlled robots are developed
Task 4: Fill in the gaps in this table with the help of the text
Trang 14Date Invention Applications in the home Early 20th century
II READING FOR A PURPOSE
In electronics, you have to read not only texts, but also diagrams You have
to be able to combine information from both diagram and text This text introduces two kinds of diagrams often used in electronics
Task 6: Read the text below to find the answers to these questions:
1 What do we call the two types of diagrams shown in the text?
2 What do we call the approach to electronics which focuses on the function of units?
III UNDERSTANDING ELECTRONIC DIAGRAMS
Although electronic devices may look complicated, they are made up of common basic units ('building blocks') connected together The function of each
of these units and the path of the signals between them can be shown in a block diagram For example, the block diagram of a simple radio is shown in Fig 1.1
Figure 1.1 The block diagram of a simple radio
To understand how the radio works, it is more important to understand the function of each unit than to know what components are used This is known as a systems approach to electronics For example, in Fig 1 the tuner selects the required signal, the detector 10 then separates off the audio part of the signal, and the AF amplifier (amp) amplifies it
Trang 15The connections and values of the components inside these basic units can
be shown in a circuit diagram using standard electronic symbols Fig 1.2 shows
the circuit diagram forthe simple radio
Figure 1.2 The circuit diagram for the simple radio
Task 7: How many of the circuit symbols in the figure below can you identify? Use
the Appendix on page 95 to help you
IV LANGUAGE STUDY DESCRIBING BLOCK DIAGRAMS AND CIRCUITS
Look again at Fig 1 above We can describe it like this:
The radio consists of a tuner, a detector, and an AF amplifier
Trang 16Or we can describe it like this:
The radio is composed of a tuner, a detector, and an AF amplifier
Using comprise, we can start our description with the block:
A tuner, a detector, and an AF amplifier comprise the radio
We can describe the links between each building block using these expression:
The tunner is connected to the detector
The tunner is linked to the detector
Look again at Fig 2 We can describe the values of the components like this:
R1: a two-hundred-and-twenty-kilohm resistor
C2: a hundred-picofarad (puff) capacitor
Task 8: Describe the value of these components:
This table provides the terms you need
Trang 17voltage supply rail, which is earthed
Task 9: Fill in the gaps in this description of the tuned circuit shown in Fig 2 Each
gap represents one word
The circuit 1 of a four hundred and seventy 2 inductor which is connected in parallel with a 3 capacitor The 4 can be varied between five and sixty-five 5 The aerial is 6 to the top end of the tuner It is also connected to the positive terminal of the 7 in the detector The bottom end of the tuner is connected to earth via the zero voltage 8 rail
V SPEAKING PRACTICE
Task 10: Work in pairs, A and B Complete your circuit diagram with help from your
partner
Ask questions like these:
What kind of component is P1?
What’s the value of C1?
What is connected between the collector of Q2 and the positive side of the battery?
If you don’t understand your partner, say:
I’m sorry, I don’t understand Could you say that again, please?
Could you speak more slowly?
If your partner doesn’t understand you at first, try phrasing your answer in a different way For example:
It’s a variable resistor It’s a resistor which you can vary or change by turning the control It’s called a variable resistor
Student A's circuit diagram:
Trang 18Student B's circuit diagram:
Trang 19VI WRITING: DESCRIBING DIAGRAMS
With the help of the diagram, fill in the gaps in the description below Each gap
represents one word The description should answer these questions:
1 What is the diagram of?
2 What does it consist of in terms of blocks?
3 How are the blocks connected?
4 What is the function of each block?
Figure 1.3 The block diagram of an amplitude-modulated (AM) radio transmitter
This figure shows the block diagram of an amplitude-modulated (AM) radio
transmitter It 1 of a radio frequency (RF) oscillator, a 2 , an audio
frequency (AF) amplifier, and an RF power amplifier.The RF 3 generates an
RF 4 wave which is fed into the modulator
The microphone converts sounds into audio frequency signals which are
amplified by the AF 5 The modulator then uses the amplified AF 6
to modulate the RF carrier wave
The power of the modulated carrier wave is increased by the RF amplifier 7 The strong modulated output signals are fed to the 8 which enables them to
be transmitted over long distances

6 Machines should be cleaned after use
II READING: UNDERSTANDING THE WRITER’S PURPOSE
Knowing what the writer's purpose is, who the writer is, and who the intended readers are can help us to understand a text The safety instructions in Task 3 are clearly intended to encourage employees to be safety conscious and reduce the risk of accidents The writer is perhaps a supervisor or the company safety officer, and the intended readers are machine operatives Knowing these things can help us to work out the meaning of any part of the text we may not understand
Task 5: Study the company document on safety on the text, and then answer these
questions
Accident investigation
Whenever an accident occurs that results in an injury (medical case), damage of equipment and material, or both, prompt accident investigation by the immediate manager is required A written preliminary investigation will be completed by the end
of the particular shift or business day on which the accident occurred
In no event should there be a delay of more than 24 hours Failure to comply with this requirement may subject the immediate manager to disciplinary action up to and including discharge
Trang 25Without adequate accident investigation data the Company may be subjected to costs, claims, and legal action for which it has no defence
As a minimum, the preliminary accident investigation report will include the following:
1 Name, occupation, and sex of injured worker
2 Place and date /time of accident
3 Description of how the accident happened
4 Immediate causes of the accident - unsafe acts and unsafe conditions

Subject Preliminary Report, Accident, 12 May
While turning a brass component on Tuesday, last week, Kenneth Oliver, machinist, received an injury to his eye He was taken to the Eye Hospital where I understand
he was operated on I believe the accident was due to carelessness
III LANGUAGE STUDY: MAKING SAFETY RULES
What are the differences in meaning between these statements?
1 Wear protective clothing
2 Always wear protective clothing
3 Protective clothing must be worn
We can make safety rules in these ways:
1 Using an imperative
Wear protective clothing
Do not wear loose-fitting clothing
2 Always/never are used to emphasize that the rule holds in all cases
Always wear protective clothing
Never wear loose-fitting clothing
3 We can use a modal verb for emphasis
Protective clothing must be worn
Protective clothing should be worn
Task 7: Study this list of unsafe environmental conditions (hazards) Write safety
rules to limit these hazards using the methods given above For example:
inadequate lighting
Lighting must be adequate
Trang 27or Lighting should be adequate
1 Uneven floors
2 Unguarded machinery
3 Untidy workbenches
4 Untidy workplaces
5 Badly maintained machinery
6 Carelessly stored dangerous materials
7 Inadequate ventilation
8 Damaged tools and equipment
9 Machinery in poor condition
10 Equipment used improperly
11 Equipment operated by untrained personnel
12 Apprentices working without supervision
IV WRITING: WAYS OF LINKING IDEAS
When we write, we may have to describe, explain, argue, persuade, complain, etc In all these forms of writing, we use ideas To make our writing effective, we have to make sure our readers can follow our ideas One way of helping our readers is to make the links between the ideas in our writing
What are the links between these pairs of ideas? What words can we use to mark the links?
1 Mechanisms are important to us
2 They allow us to travel
3 Mechanisms deliver the power to do work
4 They play a vital role in industry
5 Friction is sometimes a help
6 It is often a hindrance
Sentence 2 is a reason for sentence 1 We can link 1 and 2 like this:
Mechanisms are important to us because/since/as they allow us to travel
Sentence 4 is the result of sentence 3 We can link 3 and 4 like this:
Mechanisms deliver the power to do work so they play a vital role in industry Mechanisms deliver the power to do work; therefore they play a vital role in
industry
Trang 28Sentence 6 contrasts with sentence 5 We can link 5 and 6 like this:
Friction is sometimes a help but it is often a hindrance
Task 8: Show the links between these sets of ideas using appropriate linking words
1 Copper is highly conductive
It is used for electric wiring
2 Weight is measured in newtons
Mass is measured in kilograms
3 Nylon is used for bearings
It is self-lubricating
4 ABS has high impact strength
It is used for safety helmets,
5 Friction is essential in brakes
Friction is a nuisance in an engine
We learnt how to make our writing effective, we have to make sure our readers can follow our ideas We learnt how to mark reasons, results, and contrasts in our writing
What are the links between these ideas? What words can we use to mark the links?
1 The accident happened
2 The operator's carelessness
3 The supervisor was not present
Sentence 2 is a reason for sentence 1 Sentence 3 is an additional reason We can
mark the links between them like this:
The accident happened because of the operator's carelessness In
addition/moreover, the supervisor was not present
We use because of to introduce a reason which is a noun or noun phrase We use in
addition and moreover to introduce an additional reason
What are the links between these ideas? What words can we use to mark the links?
4 Suitable protection should be worn
5 Safety helmets should be used where there is a danger of falling objects
Sentence 5 is an example to illustrate sentence 4 We can mark this in this way:
Trang 29Suitable protection should be worn For example/For instance, safety helmets
should be used where there is a danger of falling objects
Task 9: Show the links between these sets of ideas using appropriate linking words
1 Many accidents happen
Workers' carelessness
2 Education can reduce accidents
It is important that all workers receive training in basic safety
3 Eye injuries can be serious
Goggles must be worn for grinding and cutting
4 Safety gloves provide protection for the hands
They prevent burns
They reduce the danger of cuts
5 Safety shoes protect the feet against falling objects
They prevent the feet getting caught in machinery
6 Respirators should be worn in dusty conditions
Dust can damage the lungs
7 Safety gear exists for every danger
Each year people are injured
They refuse or forget to wear the right gear

Refrigeration preserves food by lowering its temperature It slows down the growth and reproduction of micro-organisms such as bacteria and the action of enzymes which cause food to rot
You may have underlined words like micro-organisms, bacteria, or enzymes These
are words which are uncommon in engineering Before you look them up in a dictionary or try to find translations in your own language, think! Do you need to know the meaning of these words to understand how refrigerators operate?
You can ignore unfamiliar words which do not help you to achieve your reading purpose
Task 2: Now read the text to check your explanation of how a refrigerator works
Ignore any unfamiliar words which will not help you to achieve this purpose
Fridge
Refrigeration preserves food by lowering its temperature It slows down the growth and reproduction of micro-organisms such as bacteria and the action of enzymes which
cause food to rot – Paragraph 1
Refrigeration is based on three principles Firstly, if a liquid heated, it changes to a gas
or vapour When this gas is cooled, it changes back into a liquid Secondly, if a gas is allowed to expand, it cools down If a gas is compressed, it heats up Thirdly, lowering
the pressure around a liquid helps it to boil - Paragraph 2
To keep the refrigerator at a constant low temperature, heat must be transferred from the inside of the cabinet to the outside A refrigerant is used to do this It is circulated around the fridge, where it undergoes changes in pressure and temperature and
changes from a liquid to a gas and back again - Paragraph 3
One common refrigerant is a compound of carbon, chlorine, and fluorine known as R12 This has a very low boiling point: -29oC At normal room temperature (about 20°C) the liquid quickly turns into gas However, newer refrigerants which are less
harmful to the environment, such as KLEA 134a, are gradually replacing R12 - Paragraph 4
Trang 36The refrigeration process begins in the compressor This compresses the gas so that it heats up It then pumps the gas into a condenser, a long tube in the shape of a zigzag
As the warm gas passes through the condenser, it heats the surroundings and cools down By the time it leaves the condenser, it has condensed back into a liquid
compressor and the process begins again - Paragraph 7
The compressor is switched on and off by a thermostat, a device 8 that regulates
temperature, so that the food is not over-frozen - Paragraph 8
III LANGUAGE STUDY: PRINCIPLES AND LAWS
Study these extracts from the text above What kind of statements are they?
1 If a liquid is heated, it changes to a gas or vapour
2 If a gas is allowed to expand, it cools down
3 If a gas is compressed, it heats up
Each consists of an action followed by a result For example:
a liquid is heated it changes to a gas or vapour
These statements are principles They describe things in science and engineering which are always true The action is always followed by the same result
Principles have this form:
If/When (action - present tense), (result - present tense)
Task 3: Link each action in column A with a result from column B to describe an important engineering principle
2 a gas is cooled b there is an equal and opposite
Trang 37reaction
4 a gas is compressed d it extends in proportion to the
force
5 a force is applied to a body e it is transmitted equally
throughout the fluid
6 a current passes through a wire f a current is induced in a wire
7 a wire cuts a magnetic field g it cools down
8 pressure is applied to the surface
of an enclosed fluid
h its sets up a magnetic field around the wire
9 a force is applied to a spring i it changes to a liquid
IV WORD STUDY VERBS AND RELATED NOUNS
Task 4: Each of the verbs in column A has a related noun ending in -er or -or in
column B Complete the blanks You have studied these words in this and earlier units Use a dictionary to check any spellings which you are not certain about
Trang 38V WRITING: DESCRIBING A PROCESS
Study this diagram It describes the refrigeration process
Figures 3 2 The refrigeration process
When we write about a process, we have to:
1 Sequence the stages
2 Locate the stages
3 Describe what happens at each stage
4 Explain what happens at each stage
For example:
sequence location description explanation
The refrigeration process begins in the compressor This compresses the gas so that it heats
up
In this unit we will study ways to locate the stages
Task 5: Put these stages in the refrigeration process in the correct sequence with the help of the diagram above The first one has been done for you
a The liquid enters the evaporator
b The gas condenses back into a liquid
c The vapour is sucked back into the compressor
e The liquid turns into a vapour
f The gas passes through the condenser
g The liquid passes through a capillary tube
h The high pressure is maintained
Trang 39There are two ways to locate a stage in a process
Using a preposition + noun phrase For example:
The liquid turns to vapour in the evaporator The gas cools down in the condenser
Using a where-clause a relative clause with where rather than which or who to link a
stage, its location and what happens there For example:
The warm gas passes through the condenser, where it heats the surroundings and cools down
The refrigerant circulates around the fridge, where it undergoes changes in pressure and temperature
Task 6: Complete each of these statements
The gas passes through the compressor, where………
It passes through the condenser, where………
The liquid passes through a capillary tube, where………
The liquid enters the evaporator, where………
The cold vapour is sucked back into the compressor, where ………
Task 7: Add sequence expressions to your statements to show the correct order of events For example:
First the gas passes through the condenser
Make your statements into a paragraph adding extra information from the text in Task
2 if you wish Then compare your paragraph with paragraphs 6, 7, and 8 from the text
