Sales clerk: May I help you, sir? Paul Ryefield: Yes, please. I’m looking for a cotton polo shirt. Sales clerk: Any particular colour? Paul Ryefield: Not really. Sales clerk: How about this one? Paul Ryefield: I like the design, but don’t particularly care for the colour. Do you have that in other colours, too? Sales clerk: Well, they come in white, pale yellow, aqua, red and green. Will a white one do? Paul Ryefield: Yes. I prefer white - and may I see a pale yellow one, too? Sales clerk: Why, of course. Let’s see... White... Pale yellow. Here you are, sir.

1. Text “Machine tools”

2. Grammar: Prepositions

1. Read and translate the text machine-tools

Metal undergoes a number of processes before it is formed into the required shape: casting, rolling, welding, piercing, trimming, spinning, bending, drawing, etc.

The machines which perform all these kinds of works are called machine-tools. The most common machine-tool found in almost any workshop is the lathe. The main parts of it are: the headstock, the chuck, the tailstock, the carriage.

The automatic lathe is a perfection of the ordinary lathe. Its tools are changed automatically. A worker skilled in the use of a lathe is called a turner.

There are many other machine-tools that work on plane surfaces, for example, milling machines, planning and shaping machines. Circular holes are drilled by a drilling machine or bored by a boring machine or a boring mill. Thread milling machines are used in the production of different machine elements. Gear cutting machines include gear milling machines. All these machines use cutting tools made of high-speed steel.

LATHES

There are three types of lathes produced by our machine-tool manufacturing works: heavy, medium and light types. The type of a lathe depends upon the size of diameter of work pieces.

A most convenient and efficient machine is the model combination lathe for turning, milling, drilling, grinding, slotting, and tool-sharpening jobs. It can be used both in stationary and mobile repair shops, on ships, etc.

Drilling machines

The most drilling machines are equipped with mechanisms, permitting not only drilling, countersinking and reaming, but also cutting female threads with the help of taps. Both universal and special-purpose type radial "drills are built.
