4.2.2 Read these international words and guess their meaning.

battery	[ˈbætəri]
cycle	[saıkl]
chemical reactor	[ˈkemɪkəl riˈæktə]
gas	[gæs]
geothermal	[dʒi:əʊˈθɜːməl]
hydraulic	[haˈdrɒlık]

electricity	[ˌlekˈtrısıtı]
radiation	[reɪdiˈeı∫n]
thermal	[θɜːməl]
transformation	[ˌtrænsfəˈmeɪ∫ən]
volt	[vəʊlt]

when you plug an electrical appliance into the wall socket do you know where your electricity comes from probably the local public utility company but how does the utility company generate the electricity you use at home if it is like most power companies it produces electrical power by burning fossil fuels coal natural gas or oil it makes steam which turns turbines to generate electricity at the powerplant in the u s 88 per cent of all the electricity comes from coal natural gas and oil they are non-renewable fuels which according to the estimate of scientists will runout during this century
