Halloooo
So, at this fifth meeting, we will talk about the material Production Vacobulary, Describing A Process, and Describing A Product.
➢ PRODUCTION VACOBULARY
1. That car was unique. It was a one-off production for a private customer. [something that is made or produced only once].
2. The overproduction of these shirts has meant we need to lower the price. [manufacturing too much of something in relation to demand].
3. All our toys go through a process of product testing. [a process to check that goods meet certain standards].
4. We cannot begin manufacture without product approval. [a declaration that a product meets certain standards and is suitable for sale].
➢ DESCRIBING A PROCESS
The passive voice can be useful when you need to describe how a process works. It emphasizes the action rather than the person or thing doing it.
• KEY LANGUAGE: TALKING ABOUT PROCESSES WITH THE PASSIVE VOICE
1. The present simple passive is formed using "am I is I are" and the past participle. Example: Our products are designed in London.
2. The present continuous passive is formed using "am I is I are" plus "being" and the past participle. Example: The new models are being released before Christmas.
3. The present perfect passive is formed using "have I has" plus "been" and the past participle. Example: All the latest technologies have been used.
4. The past simple passive is formed using "was I were" and the past participle. Example: Our original model was sold worldwide.
5. The past continuous passive is formed using "was I were" plus "being" and the past participle. Example: We tested extensively while it was being redesigned.
6. The past perfect passive is formed using "had been" and the past participle. Example: The media had been notified before we announced the launch.
• KEY LANGUAGE: AGENTS IN THE PASSIVE VOICE
"By" can be used to show the person or thing doing the action. Example: The launch will be announced soon by our CEO.
• KEY LANGUAGE: MODALS IN THE PASSIVE VOICE
Certain modals can be used as set phrases in the passive voice to express ideas such as possibility, ability, likelihood, and obligation.
1. The importance of product testing can't be overestimated.
2. All products must be approved before leaving the factory.
3. The product must have been damaged before it was shipped.
➢ DESCRIBING A PRODUCT
• KEY LANGUAGE: ADJECTIVE ORDER
The meaning of an adjective decides its order in a sentence. Opinions come first, followed by different types of facts. Example: look at this fantastic huge plastic model!.
• KEY LANGUAGE: SPECIFIC AND GENERAL OPINIONS
General opinion adjectives always come before specific ones. General opinion adjectives can describe lots of different things. Specific opinion adjectives can only usually describe a certain type of thing. Example: What a nice, friendly new team!.
Thank you:)
