4. Rewrite these sentences using
the words in brackets.

1. Oil floats on the surface of the sea

because it is immiscible.

Oil floats on the surface of the sea Viscous Fluid

because it cannot be mixed with Miscible Immiscible
water. Flammable Non-flammable
2. This oil has a high viscosity index. Volatile Stable

This oil remains viscous at high

temperatures.

3. We need to buy an oil which has

a low pour point.

We need to buy an oil which can be

easily poured cold.

4. Jet fuels such as avtur must not

evaporate at high temperatures.

Jet fuels such as avtur has a low

volatility.

5. This oil is too dangerous because

it has a low flash point.

This oil is too dangerous because it

can be ignited at low temperature.

6. Rewrite the text in 5. Use the

imperative or you + verb. Objective

The purpose of the crackle test is to Procedure

discover if there is any water in a
sample of oil. First, heat a hot plate
to 135° C. Secondly, shake
vigorously the oil sample to make
Result
the water molecules spread equally
through the oil. Finally, drop a small
amount of oil onto the hot plate
using a clean dropper. If you don’t
hear any crackling and don’t see
bubbles of vapour after a few
seconds, the oil is free of water.
However, if you see bubbles or hear
crackling, there is some water in
the oil.

5. Read audio script 26 on page

73 and underline examples of
vague language.

Vague language:

So we’re talking about stuff like

rust and pipe scale.

And these contaminants can

cause all sort of problems, such
as corrosion, erosion, blockages
and so on.

Student A.

Welcome to our installations. So, I’m going to explain you a little bit more about pipelines in oil industry. Pipelines are pipes, usually underground,
that transport and distribute fluids. When discussing pipelines in an energy context, the fluids are usually either oil, oil products and natural gas. If
hydrogen fuel gets extensively developed, pipelines will be needed to transport this secondary fuel. Outside of an energy context, pipelines transport
other fluids like water. Oil and gas pipelines form extensive distribution networks. These lines vary in diameter depending on their use, and are
generally located underground.
1. Work in small groups. Can you
drive? Do you have a driving
license? What extra skills do you
need in order to drive a tanker?
Discuss.
Telephone
No, I can’t drive. I don’t have a driving
license either. To drive a tanker, you Hazard
need to have some permissions, have
experience and obviously a commercial
driving license.
Shipping
2. Listen to a driving instructor
talking about a training course. What
type of course is it? What sorts of
things will it cover? diamond
sides
It’s a hazmat endorsement –hazmat
stands for ‘hazardous materials’, an
extra test you have to pass before you
can transport dangerous goods. You
must pass a written test, and the
training will be in that building. The
practical training will be done on the
hard standing in front of building 7.

the information on page 78. Follow the instructions.
Student A.
How long is it?
It has a duration of 5 days or 40 hours.
What will I learn on the course?
Completing the course, you will have the skills to prepare and process dangerous goods
shipments, understand legal requirements, operational restrictions and governing entities,
champion dangerous goods compliance standards in your organization, identify weak links
in your handling procedures and examine safety issues and apply them appropriately in the
work space.
Who is the course for?
This course is for airline acceptance staff, shippers and freight forwarders, cargo training
and development specialist, ground handling and load control staff involved in the cargo
chain, regulatory compliance specialists, personnel from the Departments of Transportation
and Civil Aviation Authorities and operation and stations managers.
