Ex. 3: make nouns out of verbs, and write sentences in which nouns are used to show their
meaning:

Eliminate – elimination

Remove – removal

Refine -refinement

Open – opening

Ex. 4 – translate the following two sentences and explain the difference in the use of the word
coming... Then make two more sentences where the same is illustrated
The iron coming out of the blast furnace…

Željezo koje dolazi iz visoke peći…

Coming out of the blast furnace, the iron is tapped…

Izlazeći iz visoke peći, željezo se siječe…

Primjer za ispit: Our company producing more money then the other company and is very important
in country. 1

Producing a lot of money our company is very important in country. 2

Ex. 5. Explain the differences between:

–the least amount and -the last amount- najmanji, posljednji

-enough heat and -hot enough- dovoljno toplote, dovoljno vruće

-It is additionally processed and –It requires additional processing -adverb vs adjective

-It forms at the bottom of the furnace and It forms the bottom of the furnace. PO vs O

Ex. 6: Explain the difference between. For 3 examples explain the difference defining expressions
and for other 3 show the differences using expressions in suitable sentences

1. moving bodies vs. moved bodies- active i passive

2. accumulating experiences vs. accumulated experience
3. deforming forces vs. deformed forces
4. reducing atmosphere vs. reduced atmosphere sve active i paasive!
5. melting iron vs. molted iron/ melted chocolate ing.active; ed-passive
6. developing countries vs. developed countries

Ex. 7: Analyze the following -ing structures – which are sued as gerunds:

1 Torsional stress, as encountered in the twisting of a shaft, is a shearing stress.

2. This pig iron requires additional processing and refining.

3. Cast iron is usually made by remelting pig iron and scrap.

4. The „charge“, consisting of limestone, coke and ore, is dumped down into the furnace, beginning
with a layer of coke.

5. Before a material can safely be used in the making of structural part, a number of its properties
must be known.

6. We must have reliable information concerning such properties as strength and elasticity.

7. Elasticity is that property of a material enabling it to return to its original size and shape after
removal of a deforming force.

Ex 7: Complete the sentences with suitable comparative or superlative adjective form:

 - this material has been proved __the_best_____________ to withstand the sudden shock
(good).
- These machines are likely to be more applicable, at ________least____________in the
medium term, to domestic heating than to industrial use. (little)
- With __________farther_________additions of carbon, the ductility falls off (far).
- Consequently, a ________less___________rapid cooling rate is necessary (little).
- ______The latest______________advance in this sphere is known as continuous casting.
(late)
- This portion of the iron is ________last____________ to solidify (late).
- It is customary to subdivide mechanics into the study of fluids and the study of particles or
bodies of solid materials. It is to _____latter__________ filed that the term mechanics is
frequently restricted (late).
-

Ex. 8. Make questions using the suggested elements given below and aswer the questions by
inserting the intensifiers: slightly, much, a lot, considerably, far in front of the comparative forms

Iron/ tough/ magnesium (Yes,….)

Aluminium/ light/ wood (No,…)

Ex. 9: Translate into English:

Željezo se odvaja od oksida u visokoj peći, koja se sastoji od cilindričnog čeličnog omotača obloženog
iznutra vatrostalnom opekom koja može da izdrži više temperature od uobičajene temperature u
visokim pećima. Koks se koristi kao gorivo za proizvodnju toplote. On gori i proizvodi dovoljno toplote
za topljenje željeza. Šarža se ubacuje kroz zvonasti otvor na vrhu peći, a predgrijani zrak pod znatnim
pritiskom uduvava se na dnu peći kroz niz otvora zvanih duvnice.
