Диалог «На станции автосервиса.Ремонт автомобиля» (At the car-service station)

— Good morning, sir. I have come for a 15 thousand kilometers servicing. I have an appointment for 10 a.m.

— OK. Please, drive your car into the garage… Let me check the car and diagnose all possible problems… Right. I will have to replace the tyres, change the brake disk and check the oil level.

— Fine. Please check why my wipers get stuck in the middle of the windshield. And I’ve got some other problems as well. I’ve noticed that the clutch is very noisy when I change gears.

— I see. The plate must be worn out. But it’s a normal thing at this mileage. And I can see you have some minor problem with the radiator.

— Can I get it repaired today too?

— I’m afraid it will take a couple of days to fix it. You can leave the car some other day. I’m sorry for the inconvenience.

— Ok then. Another problem is that my car won’t start in the mornings. I usually call my neighbour to jump-start it.

— Let me open the hood and check all the hoses and belts. So… I’m glad to say they are all in working order. Did you check the battery? If you need to jump-start your car, you probably have to change the weak battery. When did you buy the last one?

— Oh, I guess it was ages ago. You’re right. I have to replace it.

— Right. There it is. Everything is in order in your car. The oil level was below the full mark, so I’ve filled it up. Take our 30-day warranty card, please.

— Great! How much is it?

— It’s 300 $ in total.

— Here you are. Thanks for your help. See you for a 30 thousand servicing.

Перевод

— Доброе утро, сэр. Я приехал на техосмотр с пробегом 15 тыс. км. У меня запись на 10 утра.

— OK. Пожалуйста, заезжайте на машине в гараж… Давайте я проверю авто и проведу диагностику всех возможных проблем… Что ж. Мне придется поставить новые шины, заменить тормозной диск и проверить уровень масла.

— Прекрасно. Пожалуйста, проверьте, почему дворники застревают посередине лобового стекла. У меня имеются еще и другие проблемы. Я заметил, что сцепление очень шумит при переключении передач.

— Понятно. Должно быть, диск стерт. Но это нормально при таком пробеге. И, как я вижу, у вас незначительная проблема с радиатором.

— Его можно отремонтировать сегодня?

— Боюсь, что потребуется пара дней для того, чтобы его починить. Вы можете оставить машину в какой-нибудь другой день. Прошу прощение за неудобство.

— Хорошо тогда. Другая проблема – моя машина не заводится по утрам. Я обычно прошу своего соседа, чтобы завести ее от постороннего источника.

— Давайте я открою капот и проверю все рукава и ремни. Итак… Я рад сообщить, что все в рабочем состоянии. Вы проверяли аккумулятор? Если вам приходится заводиться от постороннего источника, возможно, вам нужно заменить слабый аккумулятор. Когда вы покупали его в последний раз?

— О, думаю, прошла целая вечность. Вы правы. Мне надо его заменить.

— Что ж. Вот и все. В вашей машине все в порядке. Уровень масла был ниже отметки, поэтому я его заправил. Возьмите наш гарантийный талон на 30 дней.

— Здорово! Сколько с меня?

— В общей сложности, 300 $.

— Вот, возьмите. Спасибо за помощь. Увидимся на техосмотре с 30-тысячным пробегом.

Automobiles or cars are one of the most amazing discoveries of the 20th century. They are thought to have completely changed modern society. They’ve had a huge impact on the way people live and work now. Automobiles or any other motor vehicles gave people the opportunity to move and travel faster. Using transport, people easily commute from one town to another to get to work. The history of automobiles started in 1886, when German inventor Karl Benz invented a motorized wagon to replace ordinary, animal-drafted carriages. First modern car was introduced in 1908 by Henry Ford. Today, there are thousands of cars which meet every person’s needs, from luxury types to practical . Apart from cars, people use public transportation for travel purposes, including trams, buses, mini vans, local trains, etc.

There are different opinions on automobiles and their impact. For example, some people think that they have improved our life, but some find them health dangerous and unnecessary. Modern equivalent of cars is the bicycle. First of all, it doesn’t have an engine and doesn’t need fuel to move. This has made a bicycle the most eco-friendly vehicle. Secondly, bicycles are not noise pollutants and they don’t block the roads. Thirdly, riding a bicycle keeps people fit and in good shape. However, there are millions of people who would never abandon cars as they provide comfort and convenience. They don’t depend on bad weather conditions, they let the passengers sit back and enjoy the ride, which was impossible in the 19th century when people relied on animals.

Some prominent people state that automobiles have improved the quality of life and economy in many countries. For example, with the appearance of cars the rate at which goods and services are transacted significantly increased. Other than that, many jobs, involving road construction, have been created. Social life has also been improved. Thanks to cars, people can visit each other at any time and stay as long as they wish. Public transport has limited hours of work. The economy is said to be improved due to reduced travel time and expenses. The future of car technologies is vague, although there are some advances being developed. The manufacturers work on hybrid and fully autonomous cars at the moment. Hybrid cars use two or more sources to move. Most commonly they are electric vehicles. Autonomous cars are driverless and they already exist in prototype.

THE HISTORY OF LAND TRANSPORT

The word transport means to carry people or goods from place to place. It is also used for the vehicles that carry people or goods – for example, motor transport includes buses, lorries, motor coaches and motor cars. The American word for the same thing is transportation , and the remark “transportation is civilization” was made by an American, the motor-car manufacturer Henry Ford.

The history of transport is divided into two stages. The first stage is that in which all forms of transport depended directly on the power of men or animals or natural forces such as winds and current. The second stage began with the development of the steam engine, which was followed by the electric motor and the internal combustion engine as the main sources of power for transport.

Porters and Pack Animals

2.The most ancient people were probably wanderers. They did not live in settled homes because they did not know how to till the soil. As they moved from place to place they had to carry their goods themselves. The porters were usually the women, probably because the men had to be ready to beat off attacks by wild beasts or enemies. Even now, to carry the household goods is the job of women in backward wandering tribes.

The next step was the use of pack animals for carrying goods. The kind of animal used varied in different places, but the general idea was the same – the bundles or baskets were carried by the animals on their backs. The dogs, although too small to carry much, was probably one of the first transport animals used because it is so easily trained. Dogs are still to be trained for dragging sledges in the Arctic because of their light weight.

3.The next advance in land transport came with the invention of the wheel. The wheel at once led to the development of two-wheeled carts and four-wheeled wagons and carriages, but before these could be used for carrying goods over long distances, a system of roads was necessary. These roads had to be wide enough to take a cart and paved, for unless their surface was paved the wheels sank in and the cart stuck. In Britain, and also over much Europe, the first long-distance paved roads were made by the Romans, chiefly so that troops could be marched without delay from place to place. The roads made it possible to use wheeled traffic. However, when the Roman Empire collapsed, the roads gradually got into a very bad state.

4.There were two problems to be solved – first, how to make good roads, and, second, to decide who was to pay for them. In Great Britain these problems were solved in the 18 th century. Stretches of roads were handed over to groups called trusts . The trusts borrowed money for repairing and improving the roads, paying it back from the sums they collected from road users. This method of paying for new roads and bridges is still used, especially in the United States.

Then it became possible to travel rather comfortably by coaches. In cities like London, rich people had their own carriages, while poor people went on horseback or walked. Then appeared carriages that could be hired for short distances. They correspond to the modern taxis. The word is short for taxi cab which in turn comes from the words taximeter and cabriolet . A cabriolet is a light two-wheeled carriage introduced from France in the 19 th century. The taximeter is a mechanical device connected with the wheels which, by measuring the distance travelled, snows the fare due at any moment. It is also controlled by a clock so that waiting time too is charged for.

The use of motor-cars changes the life. People like to drive a car and cover long distances with comfort. If you are thinking of taking your car to England you should be familiar with the vocabulary of motoring and you should know about traffic rules in England. Let’s have a look at the car. We are inside the car. There is a seat for the driver and four seats for passengers. All round the car there are windows to see out- except in the front. This is the windscreen and there are also things to sweep the rain off it. We call them the windscreen wipers .When we drive the car we steer with the steering wheel. If there are obstacles in the way we stop the car with the brake- we brake the car. When the way is clear to go again we accelerate to help us move off. The car has a gear-box and five gears. There is also a gear lever. We change gears by pushing the gear lever from one gear to the next. To help us to do this we have a foot-pedal. We call it the clutch. We put the clutch in to disengage the engine and we put the clutch out to make it drive again. When we want to stop the car we put on the hand-brake. To start the engine we switch on the ignition and press the starter. And lastly to change direction we signal with the indicators. With our hands we steer with the gear lever, and put on the hand-brake. With our feet we accelerate by using the accelerator, stop by using the foot-brake and change gear by using the clutch. Now let us look round the outside of the car. Front and rear come the bumpers to protect the bodywork. In the four comers are the wheels. The bonnet covers the engine. There is also the compartment to contain your luggage , the tools for the car and the spare wheel. We call this compartment the boot. But why do we need a spare wheel? When a tire goes flat all the air comes out of it because it has a puncture. So we lift the car on a jack, change the wheel and drive on. The main part of the engine consists of the cylinders and valves . Air and petrol go into the engine by means of the carburetor. The petrol reaches the carburetor from the petrol tank through the action of the petrol pump. The mixture is ignited by an electric spark from one of the ‘plugs’. The electricity is stored in the battery and battery is change by the dynamo. The engine is often cooled by water from radiator and lubricated by oil. The exhaust gases from the engine go away through a pipe. To control the operation of the engine we have a speedometer and an oil pressure gauge, a thermometer and an ammeter to see if the dynamo charges the battery or not. These are the basic instruments. At last what do we get? We get a lot of things. We have the steering-how to keep the car straight or make it turn. We have the brakes-how to stop the car and engine-how to make it go.

I’m Anna Gonzales from Brazil. It is six years since I started to learn English. My biggest problem is pronunciation. I love listening to English pop music which is a great way of learning new vocabulary. My dad’s a businessman and he uses English all the time. He speaks it fl uently. He managed to pick it up while he was working in the States. He wants me to speak it well enough so that I can join his company. I’d rather work in advertising.
