READING COMPREHENSION:

III.- FIND THE REFERENCE FROM THE TEXT : ( 4 pts)

Example:

1. “Our” in paragraph 1 refers to Municipal engineering sector

2. “We” in paragraph 2 refers to water resources engineering.
3. “This” in paragraph 2 refers to work.
4. “Their” in paragraph 2 refers to structure control the momento of water efficienty.
5. “It “ in paragraph 3 refers to designs buildings.
6. “that” in paragraph 3 refers to strong and durable.
7. “It “ in paragraph 4 refers to building materials.

IV.-ANSWER THE QUESTIONS ON YOUR OWN (don’t copy and paste from internet). ( pts)

1.- Do these engineering sectors/divisions exist in our country/ Grau Region? (2 pts)

Someone for example, we have structural engineering, geotechnical engineering y water

resources engineering.

2.-What does the autor of the text propose with this text: (1pt)

a. To show his opinion d. To teach

b.- To inform e. To present a text

c.- To suggest something

3.- Is there a relationship among these engineering specialties? Why? why not? (2pts)

Yes, because to make a structure we need the study of the soil and that is where geotechnics

comes in, also in hydraulic engineering loads and steel structures are handled and it is related

to the previous one and in construction it is related to geotechnics, structures and hydraulics.
