LESSON 2 READING

English Conversation Problems for Engineering Students

The English language is coming under the light of importance

gradually and speaking this language is becoming very necessary. People

from various professions are personally taking different courses as they are

not equipped with the sense of this language. Most of them do focus on

their technical and subjective skills. They, unfortunately, do not find the

importance of learning the English language in their academic career.

Consequently, it becomes tough for them to learn in their professional

career later. So, as they cannot convey their knowledge to the wider

community without English language knowledge, they feel helpless in

career. It becomes very tough for them to get promotion or appraisal also.

The idea of learning the English language as part of our career is becoming

very vital. It has become a supreme requirement in this modern age. This

problem is arising mostly as English conversation problems for engineering

students.
 If we evaluate this above context we will certainly find that students

and professionals from all fields are facing these problems. But, the

majority of these people are only belonging to the engineering fields.

Students from mechanical, civil, electrical, aeronautical, and automobile

engineering fields are standing visible in not being able to express their

thoughts properly. Their content of the subject is unbelievably tough and it

needs their sole focus on the technical part only. Most of their books only

contain formulas and mathematical analysis which do not help them to

learn expressive languages. If you observe the working professionals of the

engineering field, then you will certainly realize that their communication is

lacking the major potential of expressive tone. It is just because they are

customized to learn only the technical part most of the time.

LESSON 2 READING

Set SMART goals to get ahead in your career.

Where would you like to be in one year? In five years? What experiences
will help you achieve that? What interests and skills would you like to use in
your career? Setting a career goal is about deciding where you want to
head in your career, and identifying the smaller steps needed to reach that
goal.

What are examples of common career goals?

1. Increase professional knowledge and training. This is a common goal

for many people who are looking for work or those who have a job.
 Some ways to increase training are taking a college class, going to a
workshop offered by an employer, or getting a certification.
2. Increase salary. Being underpaid often makes people less interested
in their work. Making changes to earn more money increases
excitement for most jobs, and motivates a job search.
3. Improve a difficult process or relationship-This goal area can make
the daily work experience more positive and rewarding.
4. Have new experiences. Whether volunteering in your community or at
work, joining a professional association to meet new people in your
field, or introducing yourself to people you never talk with, new
experiences create interest in your career.
5. Be a leader . Many people feel their biggest goal is to lead in their
career or organization. Establishing the steps to achieve a leadership
role makes it possible.

How to set goals

To help you write effective goals, try the SMART system for each career
goal.Each letter in the word represents an important part of your goal.

Specific – Make a specific, clear focus for your goal or steps. For example,
“make ten job search calls after the conference in April” is much more
specific than “make some networking connections.”

Cómo establecer metas

Probar el sistema SMART nos ayuda a escribir metas efectivas. Cada letra
de la palabra representa una parte importante de su meta.

Específico: haga un enfoque específico y claro para su objetivo o pasos.

Por ejemplo, "hacer diez llamadas de búsqueda de empleo después de la
conferencia en abril" es mucho más específico que "hacer algunas
conexiones de red".

Measurable – To see if your goal is measurable, ask questions such as:

how much? How many? How will I know when it is accomplished? These
questions usually focus on something that can be counted, for example,
time, people, or specific things.

Attainable – Goals are attainable, or possible, when steps are planned

clearly and allow enough time. How do you plan to complete your goal?
Which actions follow on other actions? Is the goal realistic from your
starting point? It should be a challenge, but also achievable.

Relevant – A relevant goal is one that really matters to you and is

important. Is it worth the effort? Is this the right time? Does your goal relate
to other efforts or timelines? Does it require resources or things that are
currently available?

Timely - A goal should be set within a certain time period to be clear and to
keep you focused on the goal. When do you want to begin? When do you
want to complete each step?

Tips to reach your goal

 Write down the steps. Write down your career goal and the steps to
get there. This will help you remember and achieve each step. Put your
list where you will see it often.
 Set deadlines. Give yourself a date to complete your goals. Write the
date when you actually finish each step.
 Reward yourself. Taking steps toward goals is hard work. Think of
small rewards to give yourself when you complete any step, to help you
stay motivated.
 Have a goal partner. Find someone to help you: a friend, co-worker,
a job coach, or someone else. Discuss your goals, and meet with them
when you complete steps. If possible, do the same for your partner!

LESSON 2 READING
5GNETWORK
The Chinese technology company Huawei will set up Russia's 5G
communications network. (La compañía tecnológica china Huawei
establecerá la red de comunicaciones 5G de Rusia.) A deal was signed
between the two countries on Wednesday following a meeting between
Chinese leader Xi Jinping and Russian president Vladimir Putin in Moscow.
(El miércoles se firmó un trato entre los dos países luego de una reunión
entre el líder chino Xi Jinping y el presidente ruso Vladimir Putin en
Moscú.) Huawei will develop the very latest next-generation 5G network in
Russia over the next year. (Huawei desarrollará la última red 5G de
próxima generación en Rusia durante el próximo año.) Reporters say the
deal will see, "the development of 5G technologies and the pilot launch of
fifth generation networks in 2019 and 2020" (Los reporteros dicen que el
acuerdo verá "el desarrollo de tecnologías 5G y el lanzamiento piloto de
redes de quinta generación en 2019 y 2020"). This will bring cutting-edge
technology and high-speed Internet to Russia. Huawei's chairman Guo
Ping said he was "very happy" with the agreement "in an area of strategic
importance like 5G" (Esto traerá tecnología de punta e Internet de alta
velocidad a Rusia. El presidente de Huawei, Guo Ping, dijo que estaba
"muy contento" con el acuerdo "en un área de importancia estratégica
como 5G".).

The Huawei deal with Russia comes as a relief for the tech company,
which has had a turbulent time in recent months (El acuerdo de Huawei
con Rusia es un alivio para la compañía de tecnología, que ha tenido un
momento turbulento en los últimos meses.). The USA has blocked the
company, citing it as a national security risk (Estados Unidos ha bloqueado
a la compañía, citando como un riesgo de seguridad nacional.). This
resulted in Google denying key services to Huawei phones. Huawei gets
half of the chips it uses from US suppliers (Esto provocó que Google
negara los servicios clave para los teléfonos Huawei. Huawei obtiene la
mitad de los chips que usa de proveedores estadounidenses). Some
journalists say the US banning of Huawei could be the beginning of the
biggest trade war ever (Algunos periodistas dicen que la prohibición
estadounidense de Huawei podría ser el comienzo de la mayor guerra
comercial de la historia). In addition, the UK-based technology company
ARM has cut ties with Huawei (Además, la empresa de tecnología con
sede en el Reino Unido ARM ha cortado lazos con Huawei.). ARM was a
key supplier of semi-conductors for Huawei's phones. Australia, Japan and
New Zealand have followed suit in banning Huawei from participating in
government contracts due to security concerns (ARM fué un proveedor
clave de semiconductores para teléfonos Huawei. Australia, Japón y
Nueva Zelanda han seguido el ejemplo al prohibir a Huawei participar en
contratos gubernamentales debido a preocupaciones de seguridad).

LESSON 2 READING
LOCKDOWN BAKING

Since the end of March, the UK has been in lockdown to stop the Covid 19 virus. (Desde
finales de marzo, el Reino Unido ha estado bloqueado para detener el virus Covid 19.)

So, what are Britons doing at home? They're baking! (Entonces, ¿qué hacen los
británicos en casa? ¡Están horneando!)

Home baking is now such a popular hobby that supermarkets have run out of flour.
15 | P a g e
(La repostería casera es ahora un pasatiempo tan popular que los supermercados se
han quedado sin harina.)

And visits to one baking website have increased by 900% compared to last spring.
(Y las visitas a un sitio web para hornear han aumentado en un 900% en comparación
con la primavera pasada.)

The most popular recipes are for simple and traditional foods that remind people of their
childhood, like scones and cakes.
(Las recetas más populares son las comidas simples y tradicionales que recuerdan a
las personas su infancia, como los bollos y los pasteles.)

People are also making their own bread. (La gente también está haciendo su propio
pan.)

Why baking? There are many reasons. (¿Por qué hornear? Hay muchas razones.)

Some people wanted to learn a new skill. (Algunas personas querían aprender una
nueva habilidad.)

Making something to eat helps people feel better when they're anxious. (Hacer algo para
comer ayuda a las personas a sentirse mejor cuando están ansiosas.)

Producing a loaf of bread takes hours and this helps people plan their day. (Producir una
barra de pan lleva horas y esto ayuda a las personas a planificar su día.)

Many people enjoy using their senses of smell, taste and touch when they're baking.
Finally, baking is an activity that people can share. (A muchas personas les gusta usar
sus sentidos del olfato, el gusto y el tacto cuando hornean.
Finalmente, hornear es una actividad que la gente puede compartir.)

Some home bakers are making bread to give away. (Algunos panaderos están haciendo
pan para regalar.)

One baking teacher in London gives 30 loaves of bread every week to staff at local
hospitals, to thank them.
After working 48 hours, one doctor was so grateful to receive a loaf of bread that she
started to cry. (Un profesor de panadería en Londres da 30 barras de pan cada semana
al personal de los hospitales locales, para agradecerles.
Después de trabajar 48 horas, un médico estaba tan agradecido de recibir una barra de
pan que comenzó a llorar.)

Other people are sharing what they bake with friends and neighbors. (Otras personas
comparten lo que hornean con amigos y vecinos.)

People are also sharing recipes and photos of their baking through social media.( La
gente también comparte recetas y fotos de su horneado a través de las redes sociales.)

There have been online meetings, so people can teach each other new skills. (Ha
habido reuniones en línea, para que las personas puedan enseñarse nuevas
habilidades.)

Other people are using social media to post photos of themselves enjoying gifts from
neighbors. (Otras personas están utilizando las redes sociales para publicar fotos de
ellos mismos disfrutando de los regalos de los vecinos.)

16 | P a g e
Home bakers say that making other people smile helps them find some happiness at
this difficult time. (Los panaderos en casa dicen que hacer sonreír a otras personas les
ayuda a encontrar algo de felicidad en este momento difícil.)

The British have been in love with baking since the TV programme The Great British
Bakeoff started in 2010. (Los británicos han estado enamorados de la repostería desde
que comenzó el programa de televisión The Great British Bakeoff en 2010)

Millions of people enjoy watching this weekly baking competition to find the country's
best home baker. (Millones de personas disfrutan viendo esta competencia semanal de
repostería para encontrar el mejor panadero casero del país.)

It looks like British baking is here to stay.

And even though it might be hard to buy flour at the supermarket at the moment, there's
actually plenty of flour in the UK. (Parece que la repostería británica llegó para
quedarse. Y aunque puede ser difícil comprar harina en el supermercado en este
momento, en realidad hay mucha harina en el Reino Unido.)

It just takes time to put the flour into small bags to sell at the supermarket. (Solo lleva
tiempo poner la harina en pequeñas bolsas para vender en el supermercado.)

COVID-19: Managing Supply Chain Risk and Disruption

Coronavirus highlights the need to transform traditional supply chain models.

This article explains the supply chain challenges from the global spread of COVID-19 ─
and how to look ahead to the longer-term solution of digital supply networks.

Could COVID-19 be the black swan event that finally forces many companies, and entire
industries, to rethink and transform their global supply chain model? One fact is beyond
doubt: It has already exposed the vulnerabilities of many organizations, especially those
who have a high dependence on China to fulfil their need for raw materials or finished
products.
China’s dominant role as the “world’s factory” means that any major disruption puts
global supply chains at risk. Highlighting this is the fact that more than 200 of the
Fortune Global 500 firms have a presence in Wuhan, the highly industrialized province
where the outbreak originated, and which has been hardest hit. Companies whose
supply chain is reliant on Tier 1 (direct) or Tier 2 (secondary) suppliers in China are likely
to experience significant disruption, even if, according to the most optimistic reports,
conditions approach normalcy in China by April.

LESSON 3 STRUCTURE
Present Real Conditional
FORM

[If / When ... simple present ..., ... simple present ...]

[... would + verb ... if ... simple past ...]

USE
The present real conditional (also called conditional 0) is used to talk about what you normally do in
real-life situations.

20 | P a g e
Examples:

 If I go to a friend's house for dinner, I usually take a bottle of wine or some flowers.
 When I have a day off from work, I often go to the beach.
 If the weather is nice, she walks to work.
 Jerry helps me with my homework when he has time.
 I read if there is nothing on TV.
 A: What do you do when it rains?
B: I stay at home.
 A: Where do you stay if you go to Sydney?
B: I stay with my friends near the harbor.

IMPORTANT If / When

Both "if" and "when" are used in the present real conditional. Using "if" suggests that something
happens less frequently. Using "when" suggests that something happens regularly.

Examples:

 When I have a day off from work, I usually go to the beach.

I regularly have days off from work.
 If I have a day off from work, I usually go to the beach.
I rarely have days off from work.

Present Unreal Conditional

FORM

[If ... simple past ..., ... would + verb ...]

[... would + verb ... if ... simple past ...]

USE

The present unreal conditional (also called conditional 2) is used to talk about what you would generally
do in imaginary situations.

Examples:

 If I owned a car, I would drive to work. But I don't own a car.

 She would travel around the world if she had more money. But she doesn't have much money.
 I would read more if I didn't watch so much TV.
 Mary would move to Japan if she spoke Japanese.
 If they worked harder, they would earn more money.
 A: What would you do if you won the lottery?
B: I would buy a house.
 A: Where would you live if you moved to the U.S.?
B: I would live in Seattle.

EXCEPTION If I were ...

In the present unreal conditional, the form "was" is not considered grammatically correct. In written
English or in testing situations, you should always use "were." However, in everyday conversation,
"was" is often used.

Examples:

 If he were French, he would live in Paris.

 If she were rich, she would buy a yacht.
21 | P a g e
  I would play basketball if I were taller.
 I would buy that computer if it were cheaper.
 I would buy that computer if it was cheaper. Not Correct (But often said in conversation.)

IMPORTANT Only use "If"

Only the word "if" is used with the present unreal conditional because you are discussing imaginary
situations. "When" cannot be used.

Examples:

 I would buy that computer when it were cheaper. Not Correct

 I would buy that computer if it were cheaper. Correct

EXCEPTION Conditional with Modal Verbs

There are some special conditional forms for modal verbs in English:

would + can = could

would + shall = should

would + may = might

The words "can," "shall" and "may" cannot be used with "would." Instead, they must be used in these
special forms.

Examples:

 If I went to Egypt, I would can learn Arabic. Not Correct

 If I went to Egypt, I could learn Arabic. Correct

 If she had time, she would may go to the party. Not Correct

 If she had time, she might go to the party. Correct

The words "could," should," "might" and "ought to" include conditional, so you cannot combine them
with "would."

Examples:

 If I had more time, I would could exercise after work. Not Correct

 If I had more time, I could exercise after work. Correct

If he invited you, you really would should go. Not Correct

If he invited you, you really should go. Corre

Conditional Exercise 3

Present Real Conditional and Present Unreal Conditional

Using the words in parentheses, complete the text below with the appropriate conditional form.

Michael: Sharon, I am having some problems at work, and I was wondering if you might
be able to give me some advice.

Sharon: Sure, what's the problem?

22 | P a g e
Michael: The computer sales business is more difficult than I thought. When customers
(come) come in to look at the new computer models, they often (ask) ask me which
model they should buy. If they (ask) ask me to suggest a model, I (be) am usually
quite honest with them. Most computer users don't need a very advanced computer;
they just need a basic model which they can use for word-processing, bookkeeping and
Internet access. If I am honest and I (recommend) Recommend one of the cheaper
models, my boss (get) gets angry at me. He always says that a good salesperson
can convince a customer to buy one of the more expensive advanced models. I don't
really feel comfortable doing that. What would you do in my situation? Isn't it wrong to
make them buy something which they don't need?

Sharon: I think you should help your customers make an intelligent decision. If I (be)
Were you, I (educate) would educate the customers. I (teach) would teach them
how to make a good decision by themselves. I (make, not) would not make the decision
for them. When a customer (ask) asks a question, answer it honestly. You don't need to
lie to the customer, and you don't need to make the decision for them.

Michael: When I (sell) sell an inexpensive computer to a customer, my boss

(complain) complains that I am not trying hard enough. What would you tell him?

Sharon: If I (be) were in your situation, I (tell) would tell him that I wasn't comfortable
forcing customers to buy products which they don't need. Tell him that you don't want to
lie to honest people, and that you want to provide them with good service. Remind him
that when customers (get) get good service, they (return) return to a store and spend
more money.

Michael: I think that's a great idea. He (might) might change his mind if I said that to
him. Maybe he (realize) would realize that good service is the most important thing to
consumers. And, of course, I (feel) would feel much more comfortable if I (be) were able
to be honest with the customers. Thanks for your advice.
