TRADUCTION

29. Gasoline, as you know, is a liquid form of matter. We can changes this fuel from a
liquid to a gas and mix it with air. This fuel – air mixture will burn and produce a lot of
energy. In other words, this gas – and – air mixture is combustible; it will burn.

R.- La gasolina, como saben, es una forma líquida de materia. Podemos cambiar
este combustible de líquido a gas y mezclarlo con aire. Esta mezcla de aire y
combustible se quemará y producirá mucha energía. En otras palabras, esta
mezcla de aire y gas es combustible; y esto arderá.

30. When an airplane comes in for a landing, it must have a medium (means) of rolling.
In addition, it must be designed to absorb shock when contact with the ground is made

The assembly designed to these requirements is called the "landing gear."

R.- Cuando un avión entra para aterrizar, debe tener un medio de balanceo.
Además, debe estar diseñado para absorber los golpes cuando se hace contacto
con el suelo.

El conjunto diseñado para estos se denomina "tren de aterrizaje".
