III. READING COMPREHENSION
A VERNIER CALIPER
Loosen the locking screw and move the slider to check if the vernier scale works
properly. Before measuring, do make sure the caliper reads 0 when fully closed. If the
reading is not 0, adjust the caliper’s jaws until you get a 0 reading. If you can’t adjust the
caliper, you will have to remember to add or subtract the correct offset from your final
reading. Clean the measuring surfaces of both vernier caliper and the object, then you can
take the measurement.
Close the jaws lightly on the item which you want to measure. If you are measuring
something round, be sure the axis of the part is perpendicular to the caliper. Namely,
make sure you are measuring the full diameter.
The object is placed between the jaws, which are then moved together until they secure the
object. The screw clamp may then be tightened to ensure that the reading does not change
while the scale is being read.
The first significant figures are read immediately to the left of the zero of the vernier scale
and the remaining digits are taken as the vernier scale division that lines up with any main
scale division.
24
In figure 2 below, the first
significant figures are taken as
the main scale reading to the left
of the vernier zero, i.e. 37 mm.
The remaining two digits are
taken from the vernier scale
reading that lines up with any
main scale reading, i.e. 46 on the
vernier scale. Thus the reading
is 37.46 mm.
Figure 2
Maintenance
Clean the surface of the vernier caliper with dry and clean cloth (or soaked with cleaning
oil) and stock in a dry environment if it stands idle for a long time.
A. Read the main text above and give your idea: True (T) or False (F)

This is how you test the properties of the material. You put the material into the multi-test
machine. Then the machine does four tests on it. In the first test, a hammer strikes the
material with a 50 kg weight. In the second test, two pairs of jaws pull the material with a
29
weight of 80 kg. In the third test, a heavy weight of 100 kg presses the material down. In
the fourth test, two sharp knives scratch the material with weights of 10 and 20 kg.
OK, now I’m demonstrating the four tests in action. Watch carefully. Here’s the first test.
The hammer is striking the bar. Can you see? The bar isn’t breaking. Here’s the second
test. It’s starting now. The jaws are pulling the material. Can you see? The material isn’t
stretching. Now the third test is taking place. The heavy weight is pressing the material
down. Can you see that? The material isn’t breaking. And now here’s the fourth and final
test. The knives are scratching the material.

b. it will be messy and dirty.
CNC machine maintenance may seem like a boring chore compared to the other tasks of
running a successful machine shop. If a machine breaks down, it can cost a business
owner thousands of dollars, not only for the cost to repair the breakdown but in lost
profits too.
These are the tips that keep your CNC machine tools out of the machine emergency
room. They sound simple, and they are. Doing a few minor checks at the end of each day
or each shift can help catch a problem before it snowballs into a major breakdown.
Therefore, we recommend the following daily maintenance schedule:
Check those fluids. CNC machines require adequate fluid levels, such as lube and
hydraulic fluid. Working daily with your machines will give you a good baseline
for how quickly the fluids need to be replenished. When machines start using fluid
at a higher rate, have your machines checked. Excessive fluid use can be a sign of
problems.
Give them grease. Grease is the smooth operator that keeps all the working parts
moving and grooving. Not all machine shops check grease points each day, but we
recommend looking at all moving parts for dry spots. A quick shot of grease goes a
long way to reducing unwanted wear.
41
Renew with a Rag. Wipe down all the surfaces to show a little shine by cleaning
away the shop grime. Wiping the machine down daily will also keep the smaller
metal shavings from building up in damage-prone areas

III. READING COMPREHENSION
CORROSION
Corrosion is a dangerous and extremely costly problem. Because of it, buildings and
bridges can collapse, oil pipelines break, chemical plants leak, and bathrooms flood.
Corroded electrical contacts can cause fires and other problems, corroded medical implants
may lead to blood poisoning, and air pollution has caused corrosion damage to works of
art around the world. Corrosion threatens the safe disposal of radioactive waste that must
be stored in containers for tens of thousands of years.
The most common kinds of corrosion results from electrochemical reactions. General
corrosion occurs when most or all of the atoms on the same metal surface are oxidized,
damaging the entire surface. Most metals are easily oxidized: they tend to lose electrons to
oxygen (and other substances) in the air or in water. As oxygen is reduced (gains electrons),
it forms an oxide with the metal.
Take a metal structure such as the Statue of Liberty. It looks strong and permanent. Like
nearly all metal objects, however, it can become unstable as it reacts with substances in its
environment and deteriorates. Sometimes this corrosion is harmless or even beneficial: the
greenish patina that covers the statue’s copper skin protected the metal beneath from
weather damage. Inside the statue, however, corrosion caused serious harm over the years.
Its iron frame and copper skin acted like the electrodes of a huge galvanic cell, so that
nearly half of the frame had rusted away by 1986, the statue’s one hundredth anniversary.
A. Match the words with their meanings.
45
d. All are correct.
3.What has caused corrosion damage to works of art around the world?
d. all metal objects can become stable as it reacts with substances in its environment
IV. PRACTICE
In these dialogues, Peter and Jane are talking about common problems. Working
with a friend or classmate, take turns practicing this role-play:
COMMON PROBLEMS
Peter: What sort of problems do you have
with these machine?
Jane: They’re quite complex machines and
they have lot of different components.
Peter: Do you need to check?
Jane: We need to check the metal casing
regularly for any signs of corrosion.
Peter: Do you check the brushes?
Jane: Yes. We also check the brushes once a
fortnight to make sure they aren’t worn down.
Peter: Is there a canvas belt?
Jane: Yes, there is a canvas belt at the end of the assembly line. If it gets wet, it might rot
so we check that regularly too.

15 February, 2021
Dong Nai
I would like to apply for the post of Mechancal Maintenance staff as the advertisement on The
Chemtrovina's website. I enclose my CV below.
You will note from my CV that I graduated from Lilama2 International Technology College with a
certificate in Mechanical Engineering (issued by City & Guilds (UK)). At present, I am studying
Mechanical Engineering at HCM University of Technology and Education.
My work at LOCK & LOCK Co., Ltd. means that I am familiar with maintenance job. As a
maintenance worker, I spent time learning how to maintain tools and equipment. After doing
maintenance, I felt happy because I could keep the company from buying new devices.
With the experience gained from the fisrt company, I strongly decided to work for OLYMPUS
company which is famous for its mechanical tools and equipment in Vietnam. As a team leader,
I sometimes consult my manager on how to save money and make more profits by simple
maintenance tasks. I am proud of what I have done to contribute to the development of the

Note: A beginner of a lathe must operate with low rotating peed, small cutting depth and
low sending speed.
Rotating Speed
It expresses with the number of rotations (rpm) of the chuck of a lathe. When the rotating
speed is high, processing speed becomes quick, and a processing surface is finely finished.
However, since a little operation mistakes may lead to the serious accident, it is better to set
low rotating speed at the first stage.
Cutting Depth
The cutting depth of the tool affects to the processing speed and the roughness of surface.
When the cutting depth is big, the processing speed becomes quick, but the surface
temperature becomes high, and it has rough surface. Moreover, a life of byte also becomes
short. If you do not know a suitable cutting depth, it is better to set to small value.
1. What are the three important elements when using a lathe machine?
