Scenario: You are a Site Technician. Your foreman asks you to report on a problem with a key machine and a damaged tool.

Task: Write a short communication (email or note) to your foreman (Mr. Johnson) that includes:

1. Identifying the damaged tool (e.g., a rake or square shovel) and the basic action it performs (e.g., scooping).
2. Identifying a non-working machine (e.g., a paver or milling machine).
3. Stating the action needed for repair (e.g., to replace or to fix).
4. Using at least one number or measurement (e.g., "The machine needs 5 litres of oil").

Match the professional terms with their correct English definitions

How much asphalt mixture is needed for the top layer?

What measurement unit is used for the base layer of material?

Read the text about Road Design and Materials, and choose the correct option for each question.

Designing a New Highway Intersection

The city planning team must choose the correct type of road and the best materials for the new project. They decided to build a motorway (a type of highway) that must handle very heavy traffic, which means the pavement must be thick. The project requires two hundred and fifty thousand tons of asphalt mixture for the top layer, and one hundred and twenty-five thousand cubic meters of gravel for the sub-base. They decided against a simple T-junction because the traffic flow requires a more complex design. Instead, they will build a large flyover intersection to maintain continuous flow. The width of each lane must be three point five meters. The construction team must carefully measure this width. The foreman also needs to ensure that all communications between the site office and the machine operators are clear, especially when a machine needs to compact the new layer.

What is the primary reason the city decided against a simple T-junction?

The text suggests that securing tools is a basic action.

A roller should increase speed when passing the on-ramp area.

If a worker uses a jackhammer, it is not necessary to worry about support.

Read the text below about Safety Equipment and Basic Actions, and decide if the statements  are True or False.

Safety on Site

Every worker must understand the basic actions and safety requirements on the construction site. Before you start to work, you must always check your equipment. Safety equipment is critical. You must wear a hard hat to protect your head from falling materials, and a safety vest so that machines and foremen can easily see you. You must also secure your tools correctly. For example, if you lift a heavy tool like a jackhammer, make sure you have the correct support. If you work near traffic, the foreman might ask you to widen the safety zone. When driving machines like a roller, you must always slow down when passing the on-ramp area. Remember: the basic actions of safety help everyone to complete the work successfully.
