职场英语系列教材建筑英语主编张莉CONTENTSUNIT ONEFocal PointsTextCareer in Civil EngineeringAs we know, engineering is a profession, which means that an engineer must have a specialized university education. Many countries also require engineering graduates to pass an examination, similar to the bar examinations for a lawyer or a doctor, before they can start on their careers.In the university, mathematics, physics, and chemistry are considered very important throughout the engineering curriculum, particularly in the first two or three years.Mathematics, of course, is very important in civil engineering. So it is greatly stressed. Today, mathematics includes courses in statistics, which deals with gathering, classifying, and using numerical data, or pieces of information. An important part of statistical mathematics is probability. which deals with what may happen when there are different factors that can change the results of a problem. Before the construction of a bridge is begun, for example, a statistical study is made of the amount of traffic the bridge will be expected to control. In the design of the bridge. Factors such as water pressure on the foundations, the effects of different wind forces, and many other factors must be considered.In an engineering program. The problem of designing a structure to withstand theforces of gravity, wind, and earthquakes is usually addressed through another series of courses. Beginning with algebra and trigonometry(usually covered in high school)and physics, most schools require at least one course in calculus and descriptive geometry before the introduction of engineering statics(a development of the study of vector forces, from elementary physics). There may be an additional course on structural materials, particularly in engineering-oriented programs. The actual structure courses may be done in various sequences by reference to the type of structural element(beam, column, etc. ), or the structural material itself(timber, steel, reinforced concrete, prestrssed concrete). Each material has different characteristics and requires separate considerations, but the ultimate objective in the engineering sense is to determine the most efficient(economical)system that can be coordinated with the design solution. Obviously, the design affects the structural system and vice versa. Today most final structural calculations are done by specialists. A mastery is not essential for the architect, but an understanding is. Again, the emphasis in this area will vary widely from program to program.Because a great deal of calculation is involved in solving these problems, computer programming is now included in almost all engineering curricula. Computers, of course, can solve many problems involving calculations with greater speed and accuracy than a human being can. But computers are useless unless they are given clear and accurate instructions and information-in other words, a good program.In spite of the importance of technical subjects in the engineering curriculum, a current trend is to require students to take courses in the social sciences and the language arts. We have already discussed the relationship between engineering and society. It is, therefore, sufficient to say again that the work done by an engineer affects society in many different and important ways that he or she should understand. An engineer also needs a good command of language to be able to prepare reports that are clear and persuasive. An engineer doing research work will need to be able to write up his or her findings for publications.The last two years of an engineering program include subjects within the student’s field of specialization. For the student who is preparing to become a civil engineer,the specialized courses may deal with such subjects as soil mechanics, or hydraulics. In today’s society, people who have technical training are, of course, in demand. Young engineers may choose to go into environmental engineering, for example. They may choose construction firms that specialize in highway work. They may prefer to work with one of the government agencies that deal with water resources. Indeed, choices are many and varied.When the young engineer has finally started real practice, the theoretical knowledge acquired in the university must be applied. He or she will probably work with a team of engineers at the beginning. Thus, on-the-job training can be acquired that will demonstrate his or her ability to translate theory into practice.The civil engineer may work in research,design,construction supervision, maintenance, or even in management. Each of these areas involves different duties and different uses of the engineer’s knowledge and experience.Words and Expressionsdatum /deItEm/n. 数据,资料(data /deItE/ pl.)statistical /stE'tIstIkEl/ adj.统计的design /dI5zaIn/ v. 设计program /5prEugrAm/ n. 程序,计划algebra /'AldVbrE/ n. 代数trigonometry /trIgE'nCmItrI/ n.三角calculus /'kAlkjulEs/ n.微积分geometry /dVI'CmEtrI/ n. 几何statics /5stAtIks/ n. 静力学vector /5vekt\:/ n.向量timber /'tImbE/ n.木材;木料concrete /5kCnkri:t/ n.混凝土prestress /pri:5stres/ v.给……预加应力n. 预应力coordinate /kEJ5C:dIneIt/ v.使配合,使合作/kEJ5C:dnEt/ n. 坐标emphasis /5emfEsIs/ v. 强调,重点accuracy /5AkjurEsI/ n.准确性,准确度unless /5Qnles/ conj. 除非accurate /'AkjurEt/ n.准确的current /5kQrEnt/ adj. 目前的,现行的trend /trend/ n.倾向,趋势social /5sEJFEl/ adj. 社会的sufficient /sE'fIFEnt/ adj. 充分的persuasive /pE'sweIsIv/ adj. 有说服力的finding /5faIndIN/ adj. 研究结果,发现publication /pQblI5keIFEn/ n.刊物,出版specialization /speFElaI5zeIFEn/ n. 专业化,技术规范Notes to Text1.

Teacher’s Book for Unit 8Unit 8 Advertise a productMotivatingAbout the unitAdvertising is crucial to every business as it provides the opportunity to make the target market aware of their product or services. It builds a connection between products or services and customers. Effective advertising not only attracts new customers, but also promotes repeat business as well. It helps companies to remain competitive and gain more sales. Depending on the scale of business, companies either have their own publicity department or hire a professional advertising agency to create an attractive and appealing advertisement. Common advertising media available to an advertiser include: direct mail, newspaper and magazines, television advertising, radio advertising, film advertising, outdoor advertising, window display, fairs and exhibition.This unit mainly focuses on writing advertising copy. In “Inputting”, Ss will learn the content and the necessary words and expressions to describe an advertised product, as well as how to structure and write the advertisement successfully, before they complete the production task in “Outputting”. “Extending” will help Ss learn the advantages and disadvantages of different advertising media and better understand the distinct features of language in advertising. After studying this unit, Ss will be able to write an advertisement and understand the importance of advertising in the business world.Teaching objectivesUpon completion of this unit, the T is expected to enable Ss to:●list the words and expressions concerning advertising (Listening & Reading:Form)●identify the selling points of a product (Listening & Reading: Content)●describe the structure of an advertisement (Structuring)●list three ways of advertising (Listening & Reading: Content)●write an advertisement based on information gathered about a product(Outputting)Teaching suggestionsA production-oriented approach is suggested here. By adopting this approach, the T needs to make clear the unit setting, the production task and the learning objectives in “Motivating”. With the content, language and structure learned in “Inputting”, the T can help Ss get prepared for the production task in “Outputting”. “Extending” is the final stage where a follow-up listening and reading are carried out.Sections TipsMotivating Period 1 (Warming-up)• Present the scenario of communication to Ss.(Trying-out)• Ask Ss to try out the communicative task.• Help Ss realise their gap to complete the task and arouse their interest in learning.(Taking aim)• Explain the learning objectives and the output task.• Make sure Ss can distinguish between the communication and the language objectives.• Make sure Ss are clear about the type and content of the output task.Inputting Periods 1-3(Listening)• Play the audio for Ss to listen to for the first time and to do Task 1 to get topics discussed about Bella & Flora’s products; check the answers and offer help to Ss if necessary.• Play the audio for Ss to listen to and to finish Task 2 to get further details about the products, such as fabrics, target customers, etc.; check answers and offer help to Ss if necessary.• Explain the Language Points (The T may explain the language points before the first listening).• Explain the Cultural Point and the Business Point.• Lead Ss to summarise the language that can be used to complete the output task.(Reading)• Guide Ss to read and understand the passage by finishing the two tasks of “Content” (Task 2 might be finished before Task 1 if necessary) toget details about the company’s new seasonal wear; check answers and provide assistance when necessary.• Explain the Language Points, the Cultural Point and the Business Point and any part of the passage that might be necessary for Ss.• Guide Ss to finish the three tasks of “Form” (some of the tasks such as Task 3 might also be finished flexibly while the language is being explained); check answers and provide assistance when necessary. • Lead Ss to note down more information of the new product and collect more language structures that are useful for the output task. (Structuring)• Explain the structure of an advertisement copy.• Guide Ss to grasp the structure of an advertisement by finishing the Task; check answers and provide assistance when necessary.• Make sure Ss have grasped the structure of an advertisement before moving to the next part of the unit.Outputting Period 4 • Describe the output task so that Ss are clear about each step of the task and relevant requirements of each step.• Guide Ss to finish the output task step by step and carry out the self-assessment.• Assess Ss’ performance by working with them together (construct the assessment criteria with Ss in advance and make a timely assessment inside or outside the class according to the time available).• Provide assistance when necessary.Extending (outside class) (Listening & Reading)• Assign Ss to finish the tasks and provide the channel through which Ss can check answers; provide assistance when necessary.• If time permits, the T can also guide Ss to finish the tasks inside the class and roughly follow the procedures of “Listening” and “Reading” in “Inputting”.Inputting2.1 ListeningLanguage focus1.No wonder we always have a good word of mouth advertising.no wonder: not surprising; not unusual难怪;不足为怪e.g. He has been learning French for several years.

You can first form a profile of your typical customer. For instance, if you sell gym equipment, you can logically assume your typical customer is either someone who owns a fitness facility store or an athlete who wants to exercise at home. Once you have correctly identified your target audience, you need to connect them with your brand. One of the most direct and most common ways is by telling them a story. Stories communicate messages in highly specific and emotionally impactful ways. They’re memorable, and they give us something to identify with and hold on to. Linking a brand with a good story allows customers to connect with the product on an emotional level, to be more receptive to its message and therefore more likely to buy it.An advertising slogan is a catchy tagline or phrase that is used by a company for advertising. It’s a short and sweet reminder of the value a brand offers to their customers. Almost every branding strategy involves the creation and use of an advertising slogan. The followings are some examples of the most popular slogans of all time: “Just Do It”--- Nike“Think Different”--- Apple“Impossible Is Nothing”--- Adidas“Open Happiness”--- Coca-Cola“Have It Your Way”--- Burger King“Go Beyond”--- Land Rover“I'm Lovin’It”--- McDonald's“Anytime, Anywhere”--- WalmartHere are some basic rules for creating an advertising slogan:1.Keep it short and simpleConsumers are more likely to remember brief statements or advertisements. Limit your slogan to no more than 10 words.2.Be consistentMake sure your business slogan complements your existing logo, company name and projected image.3.Focus on what makes you differentFigure out what your unique selling proposition is and use it.Reference answersHeadline:By asking the reader a question and using “special” three times to draw the attention.Body of the copy:a.The special occasions include a special moment with a friend, the end of a longday or the time after a delicious dinner.b.Sipsome travels the world to find the finest ingredients for the tea.Slogan:a.Sipsome tries to sell the concept of love to its customers.b.Alliteration is used in the slogan.c.It makes the language rhythmical and leaves the reader with a deep impression.Call-to-action:They can call at 1-800-457-0789.OutputtingSuggestions for evaluationContent Does the advertisement include the distinct selling pointsof the product?Structure Is the advertisement completely and logically organised?Language Are word choice and sentence structures appropriate?Communication Strategy Is the advertisement written clearly and effectively to the reader?SampleWe Take Care of Our Customers as We Take Care of Our FamilyAfter the launch of Basic Daily Wear, Bella & Flora brings you the new Seasonal Wear Series.This year’s spring and summer collection endeavors to explore themes of building a fashion family.

职场英语系列教材建筑英语主编张莉CONTENTSUNIT ONEFocal PointsTextCareer in Civil EngineeringAs we know, engineering is a profession, which means that an engineer must have a specialized university education. Many countries also require engineering graduates to pass an examination, similar to the bar examinations for a lawyer or a doctor, before they can start on their careers.In the university, mathematics, physics, and chemistry are considered very important throughout the engineering curriculum, particularly in the first two or three years.Mathematics, of course, is very important in civil engineering. So it is greatly stressed. Today, mathematics includes courses in statistics, which deals with gathering, classifying, and using numerical data, or pieces of information. An important part of statistical mathematics is probability. which deals with what may happen when there are different factors that can change the results of a problem. Before the construction of a bridge is begun, for example, a statistical study is made of the amount of traffic the bridge will be expected to control. In the design of the bridge. Factors such as water pressure on the foundations, the effects of different wind forces, and many other factors must be considered.In an engineering program. The problem of designing a structure to withstand theforces of gravity, wind, and earthquakes is usually addressed through another series of courses. Beginning with algebra and trigonometry(usually covered in high school)and physics, most schools require at least one course in calculus and descriptive geometry before the introduction of engineering statics(a development of the study of vector forces, from elementary physics). There may be an additional course on structural materials, particularly in engineering-oriented programs. The actual structure courses may be done in various sequences by reference to the type of structural element(beam, column, etc. ), or the structural material itself(timber, steel, reinforced concrete, prestrssed concrete). Each material has different characteristics and requires separate considerations, but the ultimate objective in the engineering sense is to determine the most efficient(economical)system that can be coordinated with the design solution. Obviously, the design affects the structural system and vice versa. Today most final structural calculations are done by specialists. A mastery is not essential for the architect, but an understanding is. Again, the emphasis in this area will vary widely from program to program.Because a great deal of calculation is involved in solving these problems, computer programming is now included in almost all engineering curricula. Computers, of course, can solve many problems involving calculations with greater speed and accuracy than a human being can. But computers are useless unless they are given clear and accurate instructions and information-in other words, a good program.In spite of the importance of technical subjects in the engineering curriculum, a current trend is to require students to take courses in the social sciences and the language arts. We have already discussed the relationship between engineering and society. It is, therefore, sufficient to say again that the work done by an engineer affects society in many different and important ways that he or she should understand. An engineer also needs a good command of language to be able to prepare reports that are clear and persuasive. An engineer doing research work will need to be able to write up his or her findings for publications.The last two years of an engineering program include subjects within the student’s field of specialization. For the student who is preparing to become a civil engineer,the specialized courses may deal with such subjects as soil mechanics, or hydraulics. In today’s society, people who have technical training are, of course, in demand. Young engineers may choose to go into environmental engineering, for example. They may choose construction firms that specialize in highway work. They may prefer to work with one of the government agencies that deal with water resources. Indeed, choices are many and varied.When the young engineer has finally started real practice, the theoretical knowledge acquired in the university must be applied. He or she will probably work with a team of engineers at the beginning. Thus, on-the-job training can be acquired that will demonstrate his or her ability to translate theory into practice.The civil engineer may work in research,design,construction supervision, maintenance, or even in management. Each of these areas involves different duties and different uses of the engineer’s knowledge and experience.Words and Expressionsdatum /deItEm/n. 数据,资料(data /deItE/ pl.)statistical /stE'tIstIkEl/ adj.统计的design /dI5zaIn/ v. 设计program /5prEugrAm/ n. 程序,计划algebra /'AldVbrE/ n. 代数trigonometry /trIgE'nCmItrI/ n.三角calculus /'kAlkjulEs/ n.微积分geometry /dVI'CmEtrI/ n. 几何statics /5stAtIks/ n. 静力学vector /5vekt\:/ n.向量timber /'tImbE/ n.木材;木料concrete /5kCnkri:t/ n.混凝土prestress /pri:5stres/ v.给……预加应力n. 预应力coordinate /kEJ5C:dIneIt/ v.使配合,使合作/kEJ5C:dnEt/ n. 坐标emphasis /5emfEsIs/ v. 强调,重点accuracy /5AkjurEsI/ n.准确性,准确度unless /5Qnles/ conj. 除非accurate /'AkjurEt/ n.准确的current /5kQrEnt/ adj. 目前的,现行的trend /trend/ n.倾向,趋势social /5sEJFEl/ adj. 社会的sufficient /sE'fIFEnt/ adj. 充分的persuasive /pE'sweIsIv/ adj. 有说服力的finding /5faIndIN/ adj. 研究结果,发现publication /pQblI5keIFEn/ n.刊物,出版specialization /speFElaI5zeIFEn/ n. 专业化,技术规范Notes to Text1.
