PRESENTATIONS

1. Match the expressions concerning presentations on the left and their explanations on
the right.

2. Read and study.
A presentation is a formal talk to one or more people that "presents" ideas or information in a
clear, structured way. People are sometimes afraid of speaking in public, but if you follow a
few simple rules, giving a presentation is actually very easy.
All presentations have a common objective. People give presentations because they want to
communicate in order to:
inform
train
persuade
sell
A successful presentation is one of the most effective ways of communicating your message.
And because English is so widely used in international business, a working knowledge of the
vocabulary and techniques used in an English language presentation is a valuable asset.

6. Read and study the following useful information.
Notes
When you give your presentation, you should be - or appear to be - as spontaneous as
possible. You should not read your presentation! You should be so familiar with your subject
and with the information that you want to deliver that you do not need to read a text. Reading
a text is boring! Reading a text will make your audience go to sleep! So if you don't have a
text to read, how can you remember to say everything you need to say? With notes. You can
create your own system of notes. Some people make notes on small, A6 cards. Some people
write down just the title of each section of their talk. Some people write down keywords to
remind them. The notes will give you confidence, but because you will have prepared your
presentation fully, you may not even need them!
Rehearsal
Rehearsal is a vital part of preparation. You should leave time to practise your presentation
two or three times. This will have the following benefits:
- you will become more familiar with what you want to say
- you will identify weaknesses in your presentation
- you will be able to practise difficult pronunciations
- you will be able to check the time that your presentation takes and make any necessary
modifications
So prepare, prepare, prepare! Prepare everything: words, visual aids, timing, equipment.
Rehearse your presentation several times and time it. Is it the right length? Are you
completely familiar with all your illustrations? Are they in the right order? Do you know who
the audience is? How many people? How will you answer difficult questions? Do you know
the room? Are you confident about the equipment? When you have answered all these
questions, you will be a confident, enthusiastic presenter ready to communicate the subject of
your presentation to an eager audience.
10
7. Look at the equipment we use when making a presentation and write the suitable
missing English words we use to talk about it.
A. Easily your most important piece of equipment is...Y _ _ 1! Make sure you're in
full working order, and check your personal presentation carefully - if you don't, your
audience will!
2
B. The n _ _ _ _ _ _ _ c_______ is used to display text and graphics during
presentations. Basically, it can display anything that you put on your computer screen,
including entire presentations generated by presentation software. An excellent tool if used in
moderation, but not as an alternative to you—the speaker. It is often used in conjunction with
an overhead projector or other projector, which projects the image from the computer screen
onto the wall screen.
11

D.The w _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ (more rarely blackboardorgreenboard) is a useful device for
spontaneous writing - as in brainstorming, for example. For prepared material, the OHP might
be more suitable.
E. The d _ _ _ _ _ 6 is used for cleaning the whiteboard. It is essential that the duster be clean
to start with. You may consider carrying your own duster just in case.
F. M _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 are used for writing on the whiteboard (delible - you can remove the ink) or
flipchart (indelible - you cannot remove the ink). They are usually available in blue, red, black
and green. Again, it's a good idea to carry a spare set of markers in case you are given some
used ones which do not write well.
G. The f _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _8 consists of several leaves of paper that you 'flip' or turn over. Some
people prefer the flipchart to the whiteboard, but its use is limited to smaller presentations.
12
presentations. These projectors are typically used for larger presentations. The majority take
35mm slides or transparencies (as seen here), but projectors for 6x6cm slides are also
available.
12
J. H _ _ _ _ _ _ _ are any documents or samples that you 'hand out' or distribute to your
audience. Note that it is not usually a good idea to distribute handouts before your
presentation. The audience will read the handouts instead of listening to you.
8. Read paragraphs A-G which refer to the way in which you actually deliver, perform
or give your presentation. Choose from the box the correct words or expressions and
write them next to A-G.

Audience Rapport, Audience Reaction, Body Language, Cultural Considerations, Nerves,
Visual aids, Voice quality
A: _______________________________________________________________________
Most speakers are a little nervous at the beginning of a presentation. So it is normal if you are
nervous. The answer is to pay special attention to the beginning of your presentation. First
impressions count. This is the time when you establish a rapport with your audience. During
this time, try to speak slowly and calmly. You should perhaps learn your introduction by
heart. After a few moments, you will relax and gain confidence.
B: _________________________________________________________________________
You need to build a warm and friendly relationship with your audience. Enthusiasm is
contagious. If you are enthusiastic your audience will be enthusiastic too. And be careful to
establish eye contact with each member of your audience. Each person should feel that you
are speaking directly to him or her. This means that you must look at each person in turn - in
as natural a way as possible. This will also give you the opportunity to detect signs of
boredom, disinterest or even disagreement, allowing you to modify your presentation as
appropriate.
C: ________________________________________________________________________
What you do not say is at least as important as what you do say. Your body is speaking to
your audience even before you open your mouth. Your clothes, your walk, your glasses, your
haircut, your expression - it is from these that your audience forms its first impression as you
enter the room. Generally speaking, it is better to stand rather than sit when making a
presentation. Be aware of and avoid any repetitive and irritating gestures. Be aware, too, that
the movement of your body is one of your methods of control. When you move to or from the
whiteboard, for example, you can move fast or slowly, raising or reducing the dynamism
within the audience. You can stand very still while talking or you can stroll from side to side.
What effect do you think these two different approaches would have on an audience?
D: ________________________________________________________________________
Because English is so widely used around the world, it is quite possible that many members
of your audience will not be native English-speakers. In other words, they will not have an
Anglo-Saxon culture. Even within the Anglo-Saxon world, there are many differences in
culture. If we hypothetically imagine a German working for an Israeli company making a
presentation in English to a Japanese audience in Korea, we can see that there are even more
possibilities for cultural misunderstanding. You should try to learn about any particular
cultural matters that may affect your audience. This is one reason why preparation for your
presentation is so important. Cultural differences can also be seen in body language, which we
have just discussed. To a Latin from Southern France or Italy, a presenter who uses his hands
and arms when speaking may seem dynamic and friendly. To an Englishman, the same
presenter may seem unsure of his words and lacking in self-confidence.
E: _________________________________________________________________________
It is, of course, important that your audience be able to hear you clearly throughout your
presentation. Remember that if you turn away from your audience, for example towards the
whiteboard, you need to speak a little more loudly. In general, you should try to vary your
voice. Your voice will then be more interesting for your audience. You can vary your voice in
at least three ways:
14
speed: you can speak at normal speed, you can speak faster, you can speak more slowly - and you can stop
completely! You can pause. This is a very good technique for gaining your audience's attention.
intonation: you can change the pitch of your voice. You can speak in a high tone. You can speak in a low
tone.
volume: you can speak at normal volume, you can speak loudly and you can speak quietly. Lowering your
voice and speaking quietly can again attract your audience's interest.
The important point is not to speak in the same, flat, monotonous voice throughout your
presentation - this is the voice that hypnotists use to put their patients' into trance!
F: ________________________________________________________________________
Of all the information that enters our brains, the vast majority of it enters through the eyes.
80% of what your audience learn during your presentation is learned visually (what they see)
and only 20% is learned aurally (what they hear). The significance of this is obvious:
It is well worth spending time in the creation of good visual aids. But it is equally important
not to overload your audience's brains. Keep the information on each visual aid to a minimum
- and give your audience time to look at and absorb this information. Remember, your
audience have never seen these visual aids before. They need time to study and to
understandthem. Without understanding there is no communication.
G: ________________________________________________________________________
Remain calm and polite if you receive difficult or even hostile questions during your
presentation. If you receive particularly awkward questions, you might suggest that the
questioners ask their questions after your presentation.
9. Apart from photographs and drawings, some of the most useful visual aids are charts
and graphs, like the 3-dimensional ones shown below. Complete them.
1
P________ are circular in shape (like a pie).
15
B _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 2 can be vertical (as here) or horizontal.
1. INTRODUCTION
2. BODY Questions)
3. CONCLUSION
Questions
In other words, use the three parts of your presentation to reinforce your message. In the
introduction, you tell your audience what your message is going to be. In the body, you tell
your audience your real message. In the conclusion, you summarize what your message was.
We will now consider each of these parts in more detail.
The introduction is a very important - perhaps the most important - part of your presentation.
This is the first impression that your audience have of you. You should concentrate on getting
your introduction right. You should use the introduction to:
1. welcome your audience
16
2. introduce your subject
3. outline the structure of your presentation
4. give instructions about questions
The body is the 'real' presentation. If the introduction was well prepared and delivered, you
will now be 'in control'. You will be relaxed and confident. The body should be well
structured, divided up logically, with plenty of carefully spaced visuals.
Remember these key points while delivering the body of your presentation:
do not hurry
be enthusiastic
give time on visuals
maintain eye contact
modulate your voice
look friendly
keep to your structure
use your notes
signpost throughout
remain polite when dealing with difficult questions

Questions
Questions are a good opportunity for you to interact with your audience. It may be helpful for
you to try to predict what questions will be asked so that you can prepare your response in
advance. You may wish to accept questions at any time during your presentation, or to keep a
time for questions after your presentation. Normally, it's your decision, and you should make
it clear during the introduction. Be polite with all questioners, even if they ask difficult
questions. They are showing interest in what you have to say and they deserve attention.
Sometimes you can reformulate a question. Or answer the question with another question. Or
even ask for comment from the rest of the audience.

true or false. If the sentence is false, change the sentence so that it is true.
36
During the past years, the ozone layer, which protects the earth from the harmful ultraviolet
radiation of the sun, has started to disappear. In fact, scientists have found a hole in the ozone
layer over Antarctica. Scientists believe that CFC´s (chlorofluorcarbons), which are chemicals
used in air conditioners, refrigerators, and aerosol cans, have caused the hole in the ozone
layer. The hole in the ozone layer is likely to lead to more skin cancer and other serious health
problems in the future. Scientists and engineers need to develop alternatives to CFC‟s in
order to protect the ozone layer.

2. Read the text on Waste and Recycling. For the words and phrases typed in italics find
the Slovak equivalents.
For most of us, waste is the bags of household rubbish1that leave our households2 every week.
We know that it is “put somewhere” – but few have actually seen a landfill site3, a
37
wasteincineration plant4, or a recycling centre, and most of us do not give it much more
interest.
Three different kinds of wastes exist today: municipal solid waste5(MSW), hazardous waste6,
and commercial/industrial waste7. Municipal solid waste consists of many different materials:
some burn, some do not, some are readily recyclable8, some are not. Paper, for instance, is the
largest component of MSW. Additional millions tons are attributed to glass, various metals,
plastics and miscellaneous waste9. Chemical, metal, and furniture manufacturing processes
are some examples of processes that create hazardous waste. Products, such as paints,
cleaners, oils, batteries, and pesticides contain hazardous ingredients10 and require special
care when we dispose of them. Improper disposal11of these wastes can pollute the
environment that consequently can be harmful to human health. Experts estimate that 50
percent of all these waste materials could be recycled12 each year. Currently, however, only
about 10 percent is recycled13. One reason is that the public does not pay much attention to
the garbage14crisis. Many citizens have an “out of sight, out of mind”attitude15 about where
the trash16goes once it leaves the curb17. To preserve the environment, the public needs to be
educated to a new version of the “ three R´s” – reduce, reuse, and recycle18.

Production and Manufacturing Processes
The art of converting raw material1into finished goods with application of different types of
tools2, equipment, machine tools3, manufacturing set ups4 and manufacturing processes, is
known as production. Manufacturing process is that part of the production process which is
directly concerned with the change of form or dimensions5 of the part6 being produced. It
does not include the transportation, handling7 or storage8 of parts, as they are not directly
concerned with the changes into the form or dimensions of the part produced.

CONVENTIONAL AND UNCONVENTIONAL MACHINING PROCESSES
READING
1. Read the text on Conventional and Unconventional Machining Processes and answer
each of the following questions.
Machining is the broad term used to describe removal of material from a workpiece. It is
important to view machining as a system consisting of the workpiece, the tool and the
machine.
Traditional machining processes (also called conventional) – drilling, turning, milling and
grinding remove material by chip formation, abrasion, or microchipping.
These are, however, situations, where these processes are not satisfactory, economical, or
even possible, for the following reasons:
- the hardness and strength of the material is very high
- the material is very brittle
These requirements led to the development of chemical, electrical, laser, and other means of
material removal. Advanced machining processes (also called non-traditional or
unconventional) – chemical machining, electro chemical machining, laser beam machining,
water jet machining, abrasive water jet machining, hydroforming, plasma cutting, electrical
discharge machining, etc. have unique capabilities. They involve chemical, electrochemical,
electrical, or laser sources of energy. The mechanical properties of the workpiece material are
not significant because these processes rely on mechanisms that do not involve the strength,
hardness, ductility, or toughness of the material, rather they involve physical, chemical, and
electrical properties.

D. ______________ machine is used to machine surfaces. It can cut curves, angles and
many other shapes. It is a popular machine in a workshop because its movement is
very simple although it can produce a variety of work.
E. ______________ is the machining operation that produces cylindrical parts. In its
basic form, it can be defined as the machining of an external surface: with the
workpiece rotating, with a single-point cutting tool, and with the cutting tool feeding
parallel to the axis of the workpiece and at a distance that will remove the outer
surface of the work.
F. ______________ is a material removal and surface generation process used to shape
and finish components made of metals and other materials.
4. Read the following descriptions of the advanced machining processes. Identify the
processes and the key vocabulary of each process.
A ___________________________________________________________________
An electrical spark1 is created between an electrode and a workpiece2. This electric spark
produces intense heat with temperatures reaching 8000 to 12000 degrees Celsius. It melts3
almost anything. The spark is very carefully controlled4 and localized so that it only affects
the surface5 of the material. The process usually does not affect the heat treat below the
surface. The spark always takes place in the dielectric of deionized water. The conductivity6
67
of the water is carefully controlled making an excellent environment for the process. The
water acts as a coolant7 and flushes8 away the eroded metal particles9.

This process is a mechanical energy basednon-traditional machining process used to cut1 and
machine2 soft and non-metallic materials. It involves the use of high velocity water jet3 to
smoothly cut a soft workpiece.
High velocity water jet is allowed to strike a given workpiece. During this process, its kinetic
energy is converted to pressure energy. This induces a stress on the workpiece. When this
induced stress is high enough, unwanted particles4 of the workpiece are automatically
removed.

LISTENING
1. Listen to the text about the classification of engineering materials and fill in the
blanks to make the sentences complete.
In order to select the best material for a job, engineers must know the types of materials
available and the properties of these materials. There are two basic types of materials used in
engineering: metals and non-metals. Some materials, however, are on the border between
metals and non-metals. These materials are sometimes called metalloids.
Metals
Of the 92 natural elements found on Earth, about 70 are _______________ 1 and about 40 of
these are used commercially. Metals can be divided into ferrous metals and non-ferrous
metals. Ferrous metals contain iron, while _______________ 2 metals do not.
Cast, iron and steel, which are mixtures of iron and carbon, are the two most important
3
_______________ metals used in engineering. Cast iron, which includes grey cast iron,
4
white cast iron, and malleable ________________ , contains more carbon than steel. Cast
iron is also harder and less malleable than steel.
5
The most common non-ferrous metals used in _______________ are aluminium, copper,
bronze, and brass. Bronze and brass are alloys, which are metals that are formed by the union
or mixture of two or more elements.
72
Non-metals
6
_______________ can be classified into plastics and ceramics. Plastics generally can be
7
machined like metals, while ceramics cannot be machined. _______________ can be
divided into _______________ 8 and thermosets. Thermoplastics can be shaped and reshaped
by heat, while _______________ 9 cannot be reshaped by heat because they undergo chemical
10
changes as they harden. _______________ are often used by engineers when they need a
material that can withstand high temperature.

All manufactured products are made from atoms. The properties of these products
depend on how those atoms are arranged. If we rearrange or move around the atoms
in coal, we can make diamonds. If we rearrange the atoms in sand (and add a few
more elements), we can make computer chips. If werearrange the atoms in dirt,
water, and air, we can make potatoes.
Today´s manufacturing methods are very basic and simple at the molecular level. Casting,
grinding, and milling move or cut away millions of atoms. It´s like trying to make things out
of LEGO bricks with boxing gloves on your hands. Yes, you can push the LEGO bricks into

uses databases that are specific to the material, tools and the work centre to be used in the actual machining
process. The program identifies the manufacturing process information utilizing the CAM software such
as feeds, speeds and depth of cut. This information is run through the post processor which translates information
into a CNC program that the work centre can utilize directly. The CAM system can also simulate a production
cycle of the part which includes a visual representation of the machine, tooling and workpiece motion. The
software can provide an estimated cycle time that can be used for quoting. It will also alert the engineer of any

Sign and notices about health and safety are usually written in the imperative. We use the
imperative for instructions and for giving orders. It is important to read health and safety
notices and obey health and safety rules. If you don´t you could get hurt, and you might put
other people in danger.
Imperative statements that use the word must tell us to do things in a safe way.
examples:
Imperative statements use must not or do not to warn people about danger.

manipulate components and reshape _______________7. Knowing the intended purpose and
capabilities of each tool in the _______________8 is foundational to establishing a safe
_______________9 environment. Trying to use the wrong tool for a _______________10 (or
using the correct tool incorrectly) is a recipe for failure, frustration, and injury. The possibility
