2,


thank you,

we'll now move onto part 2, you're going to hear some recordings of international speakers, firstly you will hear pilots talking in an emergency situation,


listen to the recordings and tell me what is happening.


“? it's Dusseldorf, We won't have brakes on touch down, can we have the longest runway possible?”


what's happening?


Erm, The pilot is afraid that the brakes are out of service or the brakes will not operate during the erm.. actually after the touchdown. The pilot requested (for) a long final in order to have a safe landing.


Thank you


'number two'

“we've lost hydraulic pressure, (?) control of the aircraft”


what's happening?


Erm, the er hydraulic er system or the hydraulic systems , because as far as I know there are at least two or three hydraulic systems,,erm, seems to be out of service, and erm the aircraft is barely under (any) control. So it's very difficult to control an aircraft under such circumstances.



2,2,


you will now hear some recordings in more general situations


each recording has two parts,


for the first part you will hear a colleague talking and you need to ask questions about what is happening and you have twenty seconds for this


let's practice with an example


(example) hi, it's your colleague Ali,

there is a man shouting at me


can you ask the speaker questions about what is happening?


Ali, what's going on,

What's the reason for someone/somebody shouting at you.. do you have any guess about that?

Can I help in any way?


For the second part you will hear your colleague again

this time you need to give your colleague advice


again we'll practise with an example


hi it's your colleague Ali again


the problem is he's speaking a language I don't understand.


give your colleage some advice, you have twenty seconds


Hi Ali, it's quite strange to hear such a message from you, did you try to identify the language (your foreigner) he is speaking

did you try to get some help from your neighbours/ your colleagues

I'm afraid that I cannot help very much, what can I do for you.. what can i do for you Ali?


thank you


now we'll continue with more situations


(number one)


hi it's your Colleague Lydia here, a woman has just collapsed on the floor


ask questions


hi Lydia, how old is the woman who is lying /collapsed on the floor?

What is the reason for this? and is the woman hurt? Did anything (wrong ) happen to her?


Well the problem is that her friend says she's diabetic


(give advice)


erm, if .. if the woman is a diabetic (one) does she have any insulin with her? Have you tried to call an ambulance or a nurse /doctor to assist her?


Thank you


(number two)

hi it's your colleague Marian here,


there is liquid all over the floor


Hi Marian,


is there any flooding? Do you know the reason for this? What is the reason for the liquid being on the floor?


Well the problem is that the fuel tank is leaking


the fuel tank is leaking?


Well, you'll have to be very careful and please do not use any fire or (any lighter=incendino) In the vicinity of the liquid


thank you



now we'll move onto the final part and i'm going to show you a picture,

here we are

(now) can you describe this picture to me?



erm, it seems to be a fire brigade vehicle extinguishing a fire.

maybe it is a simple exercise, a training exercise, erm


i'm not sure about the meaning of the action (activity e corretto)

is this a practise or a real thing going on,


it's very difficult for me to identify the source of the fire, i don't know what's caused.. this fire

yeah I can see the tail of..erm, it seems to be a 727

erm


thank you, I'd like to discuss some more general questions related to the problems associated with fire, what can cause a fire on board an aircraft?


Erm, for example i think that erm electrical failure might produce a fire on board erm


i'm not sure if..these days passengers are allowed on board with lighters.. it's prohibited to smoke on board.. excuse me.. of the flight


can you describe what equipment or methods can be used to control fire?


I think that the aircraft are having (have e corretto) on board extinguishers,

the cabin crews are well trained to cope with such situations


i hardly can imagine a specific way of dealing with... this is also a very good question


why is fire so dangerous for humans?


because it's a very serious threat to lives

to the er..

as you know the amount of oxygen up there is quite limited

the fire is producing.. sorry..the fire is producing smoke and some materials on board used to produce, erm


i'm not sure about this word, i will try this one, noxis (noxious).. I mean very dangerous gases for.. to be in.. to be in... to breath

i think that the new aircraft avoid use (using e corretto) using materials that can produce such dangerous .. erm.. noxis? (noxious 'nok-shus)


thank you very much , that is the end of the test.
