Lesson 1
Features of training by profession or specialty
№1. Read and translate the text:
Every year the number of cars produced is growing, they are becoming more and more affordable, and we can say with confidence: "A car is not a luxury, but just a means of transportation." Therefore, more and more specialists are needed to ensure the smooth operation of our vehicles. That is why the specialty "Maintenance and repair of engines, systems and assemblies of cars" can be called one of the most promising today. The production of automobiles and the complication of mechanisms contributed to the emergence of narrower specialties. Now specialists in this industry are among the most sought after and highly paid. And in many ways, this specialty is very popular among young people who prefer to have a stable job and confidence in the future.
The specialty " Maintenance and repair of engines, systems and assemblies of cars" at Krasnobakovskiy College makes it possible to obtain a specialist qualification, which allows you to work in many areas. Students gain knowledge and skills in the field of organization of production works, maintenance, operation, repair of cars, study the features and basics of body repair, engine repair, chassis, management of a division of the organization, etc.
To be successful as a vehicle maintenance and repair technician, students must have the following professionally important qualities: discipline and responsibility; the ability to plan one's activities; attention to detail; good vision and eye (linear and volumetric); fine muscle and auditory sensitivity; mobility, coordination and accuracy of movements of the hands and fingers; consistency, associativity and objectivity of thinking; well-developed mnemonic abilities.

Standard English is not completely uniform. There are differences between the national standards in Britain, America and Australia.

Machines and mechanisms
№1. Write out the words (24) and translate them:
№2. Read and translate the text:
What is Simple Machines?
A machine is something we use to make work easier. We can classify machines as simple machines and complex machines. Simple Machines have few or no moving parts. When you put simple machines together you can get a complex machine. All machines need energy to work.
A simple machine is something that reduces the effort needed to do work. Machines come in all shapes and sizes and can be very basic; a bottle opener, a screw, and even your skeleton, work as machines. They magnify the effort that we apply to a task and enable us to do many things that our muscular strength alone could not manage. The amount of effort saved by using a machine is known as its mechanical advantage. The greater the mechanical advantage of a machine, the less effort is required relative to the load. There are six different types of simple machines: pulley, inclined plane, screw, wheel and axle, wedge and lever.
№3. Complete the sentences:
A) A … is an object with at least one slanting edge. We use it to cut objects.
B) A … uses a Wheel and a rope to lift or lower an object.

D) A … is a rigid bar with a support called a fulcrum.

Lesson 4
Industrial equipment
№1. Read and translate the text “Hand Tools”:
In mechanical engineering hand tools are widely used. The fitter’s tools firstly include a work bench and a vice. The vice is secured to the table and is used to hold an object for working by a cut or a needle file. The fitter’s working place contains hammers, chisels, pliers, files, spanners, screw drivers, various marking and measuring tools, etc. Cold chisels are used for work on metals which are in a cold state. The cold chisel is used for chipping off, or cutting away, small pieces of metal and also for cutting out works from sheet metal. Pliers are used for gripping or holding small objects by manual operation. The most common type is the plain or straight-jaw type pliers. Among other types of pliers there are round-nosed pliers, gas pliers, pincer pliers, etc.
Other tools may also have several varieties. Files, for example, are divided according to their degree of roughness (по степени шероховатости насечки, а именно по классам точности). There are the following hand files: rasp or rough cuts, bastard cuts, smooth cuts, dead smooth cuts. As to their shape files may be flat, round, half-round, square, three-cornered, etc. Files used for delicate work are called needle files.
Spanners or wrenches are used for tightening up or unscrewing nuts and bolts. There are two chief types of open-jaw spanners: the single-ended and the double-ended. If the bolt head or nut are in position difficult to access ordinary spanners either a box spanner or socket wrench may be used. To serve several sizes of nuts and bolts adjustable spanners, or monkey wrenches are applied.
Among other hand tools used in craftsman’s work there are hand shears, hack saws, drift punches, hand drills, grind stones and others. Besides, in mechanical job the application of thread screwing tools is also required. The tools comprise two forms: for internal thread cutting (screw taps) and for external thread formation (stock and die, screw plate). In addition to hand tools employed by a fitter electric and pneumatic tools are also used. Thus, a hand tool is a device for performing work on a material or a physical system using only hands. To such tools a punch may also belong. A punch is a hard metal rod with a shaped tip at one end and a blunt butt at the other that is usually struck by a hammer. A center punch is typically used as an aid to drilling operations. A center punch forms a small dimple in which the tip of the drill (if it is small) will fit. A prick punch serves an entirely different purpose. A prick punch is primarily used for the purposes of layout. A transfer punch is a punch of a specific outer diameter that is non-tapered and extend the entire length of the punch (except for the tip). It is used to transfer the center of the hole from one surface to another. A pin punch is used as a driving tool to affix a fixture to a rotating shaft. A doming punch is used in conjunction with a doming block to make spheres or hemispheres out of sheets of metal. The punch is generally made of tool steel, but can be made of wood. A drift punch, or drift pin. is used as an aid in aligning bolt or rivet holes prior to inserting a fastener. A drift punch is constructed as a tapered rod, with the hammer acting on the large end of the taper.

Specialists in automobile industry deal with designing and manufacturing cars, so they should know that the production of the automobile comprises the following phases:
1) Designing, 2) Working out the technology of manufacturing processes, 3) Laboratory tests, 4) Road tests, 5) Mass production (manufacturing).
Why is it necessary to know all these facts? It is important to know them as before the automobile (car or truck) is put into mass production, it should be properly designed and the automobile must meet up-to-date requirements.
What are these requirements? The automobile must have high efficiency, long service life, driving safety, ease of maintenance and pleasant appearance. In order to obtain all these qualities engineers should develop up-to-date methods of designing cars, using new types of resistant to corrosion light materials. Also, it is important to know computer science because it is intended to shorten the time between designing and manufacturing. Computers offer quick and optimal solutions of problems.
But before the car is put into mass production all its units and mechanisms are tested, first in the plant's laboratory, then the car undergoes a rigid quality control in road tests. Only then the car is put into mass production. Why are these tests required? What qualities are required of the automobile? The modern automobile must be rapid in acceleration, must have smooth acting clutch, silent gearbox, dependable brakes and steering system, as well as pleasant appearance. Also, it must be comfortable and have all conveniences.
