Paper
This is more serious, more academic, than а talk
. It is defined as:
"а written or printed essay, dissertation, or article on some particular
topic; now esp. а communication read to а learned society". The
distinctive characteristics of а paper are that it is: 1. academic
; 2.
written out in full, usually for the purpose of being read aloud at а
seminar, conference, or meeting of а learned society. It may or may
not be published afterwards. Sometimes paper is used of something
which is published in а journal without being read first, in the sense оf
а learned article
. Paper as defined above corresponds in most cases
to (научный) доклад or, less often, научная статья. The verb read
or give is used with paper.
e.g. He read/gave а paper at the seminar/conference.
Report
In traditional British English this word is connected with practical or
administrative matters, not academic work. It is defined as а formal
statement of the results of an investigation, or of any matter on which
definite information is required, made by some person instructed or
required to dо so". For example, the secretary of а society makes an
annual report on the activities of the society and the treasurer gives а
report on how the society's money has been spent. Committees make,
and often publish reports on their findings (Official reports are often
called by the name of the chairman of the committee, for example, the
Robbins Report on higher education, 1963 (chairman Lord Robbins)
and the James Report on teacher training, 1972 (chairman Lord
James)). In this sense report corresponds to отчет
.
Recently the word report has acquired а new use. It now also
denotes an account
(written or oral) of the results of а study or
investigation carried out by one or
-
more pupils/ students as part of
their work in some subject. This use is mainly American, but is coming
into British English, especially in connection with project work. The
verb to make
is used with report in such situations.
e.g. One of the students made а report on electronics engeneering
development.
Making Notes
One may say to make notes
or to take notes, but the two verbs
are not interchangeable. When reading а book or article, for example,
one makes
notes, when listening to someone speak one takes notes.

2) Chemical Engineering
1. Are you fond of chemistry? Have you got this discipline in
your time-table?
2. Try to describe chemical field of engineering nowadays.
What is the main ecological trouble in its development? What
should people do to safe the environment? Is it really
possible to stop the catastrophe?
This branch of engineering is concerned with the design,
construction and management
1
of factories in which the essential
2
processes consist of chemical reactions. Because of the diversity
3
of
the materials dealt with
4
, the practice, for more than 50 years, has
been to analyze chemical engineering problems in terms of
fundamental unit operations or unit processes such as the grinding
5
or pulverizing
6
of solids
7
. It is the task of the chemical engineer to
select and specify the design that will best meet the particular
requirements of production and the most appropriate
8
equipment for
the new applications.
Vocabulary:
1. managementуправление
2. essentialнасущный, неотъемлемый
3. diversityразнообразие
4. to deal withиметь дело
5. to grindшлифовать
6. to pulverizeизмельчать, распылять
7. solidтело
8. appropriateподходящий, приемлемый
3) Civil Engineering
1. Try to prove that civil engineering is the broadcast of the
engineering fields.
2. In what way is civil engineering connected with environment
protection?
Civil engineering is perhaps the broadest of the engineering
fields, for it deals with the creation, improvement, and protection of the
communal environment, providing
1
facilities for living, industry and
transportation, including large buildings, roads, bridges, canals,
railroad lines, airports, water-supply systems, dams, irrigation,
harbors
2
, docks, aqueducts
3
, tunnels, and other engineered
constructions. The civil engineer must have a thorough knowledge
