Unit 2:

3A: Imagine you and your friend are mechanical engineers. There is a problem with
your friend’s desgin.
Student A Student B
Say you notice a prblem with B’s
Desgin
Ask about the problem
Explain the problem
Agree and state action needed
Suggest a type of coupling
Ask for A’s recommendation
Suggest the best coupling to use
Explain reasons to choose
Agree and eng the conversation

A: David, I noticed a problem with your desgins.

B: What’s wrong,
A: The input and output shafts are not in alighment.
B: You are right. It looks like there is a little bit of disalignment.
A: Yeah. It means we cannot use a flexible coupling. It can be broken
B: Oh, certainly. We’ll have to use a rigid coupling instead. What do you
recommend?
A: I think a sleeve-style coupling would work better.
B: I agree. We’ll use that.

3B:
Student A: You are David- a supervisor in Canon Company. Ask John- apprentice to
buy bearings for you
Student B: You are John- an apprentice. You offer a supervisor’s request.
 Student A Student B
Make a polite request
Respond possitively and ask for detail
Give details of request
( 5 thrust roller bearings and 2
straight roller bearings)
Agree
Ask whether David broke them
Say “ Yes”
Ask their features and functions
Respond
Suggest buying journal bearings
Respond
Say when you need all the items
Respond and end the conversation

A: Hey John,
B: Yes, sure David. What is it?
A: Would you ming going to the hardware store?
B:What do you need?
A: I need 5 thrust roller bearings and 2 straights roller bearings.
B: I can do that. But did you break them
A: That’s right.
B: Oh. I am sure about their features and functions? please?
A: Ok, no problem. Thrust roller bearing use to support thrust motion and
straight roller bearing use to support radial motion.
B: I see. Why don’t we use journal bearings?
A: Oh I forgot it. Would you mind buying them, please. I need them for my
CNC machine at tomorrow.
B: That’s good. I’ll buy it right now.
 Unit 3
3A: make a conversation between two engineers who are working on a project
Student A Student B
Ask about the project of installing a
new transmission system
Say you need to decide which gears
to use
Ask about the requirements for gears
State requirements: reduce noise and
vibration, reduce speeds.
Make some recommendations that
meet the given requirements
Ask about features of those
recommended gears
Present features
State a preference and a reason
Ask about the price
Respond
Agree
Respond

A: How are the project of installing s new transmission system?

B: Pretty good. We need to decide what kind of gears to use.
A: What are the requirements for gears?
B: I would like to use gears which reduce noise and vibration and reduce speed.
A: Yeah,I can suggest for you. Why don’t we use helical gear or worm and
worm gear?
B: It sounds good. What features are there gears?
A: Both helical gear and worm and worm gear are machine work in rotational
motion. They are more effective in reducing noises and vibrations when
compared with spur gear.
B: I think I should use a worm and worm gear because I can noise and vibration
How much is it
A: It is more expensive than spur gear
B: Yes, I’ll use it.
What is this belt drive made of?
What is the advantages/ disadvantages of this belt drive?/ How many are there
advantages/disadvantages of belt drive?
What is this belt drive used for/ What is the function of this belt/ What do you
use this mill for?
( It is used to/ it is used for/ We use it to/ the function of this belt is to…)
Unit 4
A: Okey . What’s a series circult?
B: It has two or more paths for the electricity to flow. Oh. That’s not right. It is
the circuit with components arranged one after another to make a single path,
right?
A: That’s right. Good job. Now, what’s a parallel circuit?
B: It consists of several paths connecting the different components.
A: Yes. Can you give an example of parallel circuit?
B: It is used to connect home appliances.
A: ok. Now, What’s voltage?
B: It’s the resistance of a current.
A: Are you sure?
B: That’s not correct. It is the force of a current.
A: You got it. What is the measure unit of voltage?
B: It’s Volt

Unit 5

A: A new CAD program would help me out with my project?

B: What are you working on?
A: I am designing a new machine and I need to make an exploded view.
B: Can’t our current program do that?
A: No, unfortunately it can’t. But the new one can.
B: I see. What else does the new program do?
A: It creates B-reps, manifold models and photorealistic renderings
B: That’s impressive. What kind of file does it support?
A: It can read and create IGES and PDES files.
B: You convinced me. I’ll order it right away.
 Unit 7
A: Hi, I am Nam. I am a maintenance staff of EMCO group. How can I help
you?
B: Hi, I bought this lathe from your company last year. And I just want to check
whether it needs maintaining or not.
A: Ok. Let me see. Do you clean the guideways daily?
B: Yes, of course.
A: Good! What about inspecting the oild level?
B: Well, I always do it once a week.
A: Oh, really? I see. And How often do you thoroughly clean the machine?
B: no, I haven’t cleaned it
A: Oh, It’s not good at all. How about inspecting slackness of bearings and
electric devices?
B: Yes, I often inspect slackness of bearings annually and electric devices every
3 months.
A: And have you ever inspected the lubrication pump and renewed coolant?
B: Well, no never
A: Oh, I identified your problems. Firstly, you should always inspect oil level.
Sencondly, you need to thorough clean machine weekly. Finally, Lubrication
pump and coolant renewal need inspecting semi- annually.
B: Yeah, I see. Thank you.

P1 future plans
I will become a mechanical engineer in the future becouse This job will help me earn
money it is very interesting
-Hometown
My hometown is famous for Tran temple, which is the place to worship Tran kings
-Daily routine
I often play games and watch movies in my free time I like them because they are
very interesting and help me relax
- Current life cuộc sống hiện tại
- english leaning
I think the hardest part of English is listening because the teacher speaks very fast
-your study
The main subject is thesis(thi sựt). But I find it is most difficult subject, because I
have to memorize a lot, but it is very important for my job, so I have to learn it well
-Familly
There are four people in my family: my father, my mother, my younger sister and me.
I love my sister because her is very cute
