Engineering is an old profession. Engineering is often defined as a practical application of theoretical sciences such as physics and mathematics. Many of the early branches of engineering were based not on science but on empirical information that depended on observation and experience.

Nowadays the mechanical engineer has the mathematical ability to calculate the mechanical advantage from the complex interaction of different mechanisms. He also has new and strong materials to work with and different sources of power. The engineer has an analytical frame of mind and imagination.

Engineers design and make machines, equipment and the like. Such work requires creative abilities and working knowledge of scientific principles. The engineer must also have the understanding of the various processes and materials available to him. He can work in any of the following areas: the organization of manufacture, research and development, design and construction.

This profession requires special education. Engineers must keep up with changes in their profession. A mechanical engineer who does not know about new materials and "know-how" cannot successfully compete with one who does. An engineer must understand engineering tables and formulas and apply them in his work.

The Altai territory is an agricultural region, that's why it is important here to prepare good specialists for agriculture. The main higher educational establishment working in this direction is Altai State Agrarian University where I’m studying now. I'm a second-year student of the Engineering Faculty. Our Faculty trains agricultural equipment engineers, electrical engineers, car servicemen and specialists in the area of agricultural product processing.

An engineer is responsible for machinery fluent operation, its preventive maintenance and repair. It is necessary for an engineer to know the equipment with which he works. Modern agricultural machines are equipped with computers. That's why we study many theoretical subjects, such as theoretical mechanics, resistance of materials, theory of machines and mechanisms, modern computer science, tractors and automobiles, details of machines, agricultural equipment, mathematical modeling and many others.

To study theoretical subjects is not enough to become a good engineer, so every year the students of our university have practice on different farms of our region. Students work on combines, tractors and other agricultural equipment during sowing and harvesting seasons, help technicians and mechanics to repair and maintain machines.

Engineering is an old profession. Engineers use such sciences as physics and mathematics in their work. Engineers work with new and strong materials, new equipment, and different sources of power. Engineers design and make machines and equipment. Engineers can work in the organization of manufacture, research, development, design, and construction. They are responsible for good operation of machinery, its preventive maintenance and repair.

An engineer must be interested in technique. He must be independent, active, creative. He must have technical abilities, technical observation, and technical thinking. An engineer must have a sense of responsibility and managerial abilities

This profession requires special education. That’s why I entered Altay State Agrarian University. I’m studying at the Engineering Department now. We study many theoretical subjects and have practice on different farms. And one day, as I hope, I’ll become a good engineer.

The engineer typifies our century. In the organization and direction of large-scale enterprises we need his analytical frame of mind and imagination.

He is either designing the product itself or inventing new products or testing the product, its components and the materials in it; or analyzing its performance and making a mathematical analysis.

He may be engaged in the development of the new product, making drawings and specifications.

He may deal with the development of a new production process or the adaptation of a current process to a new product.

He may use his engineering know-how in determining the best processes and equipment for the mass production of high-quality products.

He may be the project engineer in charge of the design and installation of a highly automatic conveyer system for handling different kinds of parts between various assembly stations.

He may be working on designing and developing tools, dies, jigs, assembly fixtures and welding fixtures for the production of an automotive body.

He has many new sources of power. He works hard to develop better materials, new alloys for special purposes.

II. Read, translate and reproduce the dialogues:

Peter: I have just finished school and I want to work at a plant.

Misha: That's a good idea. You may learn to become a turner like me. It is a very good specialty.

Peter: What can you tell me about the plant where you work?

Misha: Our plant is very big. It is equipped with modern machines. We produce high-quality goods.

Peter: How much do you work every day?

Misha: We work in two shifts. Every shift lasts about 12 hours.

Peter: What can you say about people working with you?

Misha: Oh, they are different as so often is the case in such matters. Some of them are cheerful and the others are gloomy. A plant is a good school to learn how to be on friendly terms with many people.

Peter: What are your wages?

Misha: My wages are high as I am a qualified turner.

Peter: Please tell me, what do you do after working hours?

Misha: Last year I entered Altai State Agrarian University. Now I am an external student of the Engineering Faculty. I want to become an engineer. So I am busy with my studies.

Peter: I see. But have you time for the cinema, theatre or concerts?

Misha: Yes, I have. I go to the theatre on my days off. I like music very much and I often go to concerts.

Peter: Now I understand that you have a really interesting life.

Interviewer: Could you tell us a little bit about yourself?

Paul Smith: Sure.

Interviewer: First of all, what do you do for your living?

Paul Smith: I am a motor mechanic. I work in a tire assembly workshop. I remove different defects in cars.

Interviewer: Isn't it rather a dirty work? And a very noisy one?

Paul Smith: Yes, there are difficult moments. We work for about 10 hours a day in every season. We often work in the open air and it is natural that all the advantages and disadvantages of the weather affect us.

Interviewer: And then what is the charm of your profession?

Paul Smith: You know like it can be: a man with a trouble finds help in your workshop and you are happy with it, and of course, money. You've got good money for your good work. I am a qualified specialist and I always have many clients. Everybody knows me in my district. I have a good reputation.

Interviewer: Can you remember your first steps in this field of activities?

Paul Smith: Yes. My father was a fine mechanic. He loved engines. Before I could walk, the workshop was my playroom. My father put me there so that he could keep an eye on me all day long. My toys were springs and pistons that lay around all over the place. So I was to fall in love with engines and automobiles.

Interviewer: Thank you Mr. Smith, it was very interesting to speak to you.
