Building materials can be divided into two main groups: natural and man-made. Stone and timber are natural materials, used by man since ancient times. Man-made materials include bricks, cement, concrete, steel, glass, metal and more modern materials including plastic and synthetics.

Exercise 2. Read and translate the text.

Natural building materials

Building mаteriаl is аny mаteriаl which is used for а construction purpose. Mаny nаturаlly occurring substаnces, such аs clаy, sаnd, wood аnd rocks hаve been used to construct buildings. Аpаrt from nаturаlly occurring mаteriаls, mаny mаn-mаde products аre in use, some more аnd some less synthetic. The use of building mаteriаls is typicаlly segmented into specific trаdes, such аs cаrpentry, plumbing, roofing аnd insulаtion work.

Stone walls are one of the oldest construction methods known to mankind. The first stone walls were made laying up stones without any mortar. With this method stones are held together by gravity. These walls are usually larger at the base. In Ireland and north-eastern UK counties this kind of wall was made by farmers to create fences. It was quite a long and labour-intensive method, but with no costs. When cement appeared, the first mortared stone walls were created, where cement paste fills the gaps between the stones. The first cements were made using burnt gypsum or lime, mixed with water. Concrete includes Portland cement mixed with sand, gravel and water, which makes it resistant to cracking. To make it even more resistant, steel reinforcing bars can be added. Most stone walls today are made using this method, because it is fast and cheap.

Exercise 3. Match the two parts of the sentences.

burnt gypsum or lime, mixed with water. to make concrete even more resistant. the first mortared stone walls were created. without any mortar. mixed with sand, gravel and water.

Setting goals

One of the keys to managing a project successfully is to set clear goals for everyone who is involved so that they know exactly what they have to achieve and by what time. Look at some of the phrases that can be useful when setting goals.

a What’s the schedule for this?

b How much are you budgeting for…?

c I think we should aim to …

d What will you need in the way of resources?

e So what exactly would be involved?

f When do I have this get in by?

g Is that feasible?

h Does that sound reasonable/doable?
