FOREWORD
This book is aimed at enabling students majoring in technosphere
safety to improve their professional communication skills and specialist
language knowledge of engineers.
The book consists of ten units covering different aspects of techno-
sphere safety. The units contain:
• realistic listening activities;
• situation-based speaking activities;
• relevant vocabulary;
• engaging topics and articles to make learning interesting and mo-
tivating.
An answer key to the most diffi cult activities can be found at the
back of the book. A glossary containing useful technical words is an es-
sential part of the book.
We hope the book will help create mutual understanding between
professionals in the fi eld of safety by building cultural bridges that en-
hance understanding and establish trust.
We believe that establishing mutual understanding between eastern
and western peoples and countries is the urgent issue of the day, so this
book focuses attention on cultural knowledge as a necessary aspect of
communicative competence.

UNIT 1. UNIVERSITY LIFE
Lead-in
Activity 1. Answer the questions:
You decided to pursue a degree in integral safety. What do you think
your future job will involve? What personal qualities would you need to
have to do this? Do you agree that people who choose this job are going
to spend their days imagining the worst?
Reading
Activity 2. Read the information taken from the site of University of
Central Lancashire and compare it with your ideas.
Part A. Fire Engineering
Recent reforms in fi re safety law demand that fi re risk is considered
at every stage of the design, construction and occupation of a building.
This specialist degree has been developed in response to these reforms –
when you graduate, you’ll have the knowledge and confi dence needed
to develop integrated design and management solutions for buildings.
By reducing the risk of a fi re, and putting systems in place to minimise
harm to people, property and the environment if a fi re does break out,
you’ll save lives and money – a highly rewarding way to earn a living.
Part B. Why Study This Course?
We’re a recognised Centre of Excellence for fi re safety engineering –
if you’re aiming for a senior role in fi re safety, this is the course for you.
This course builds on the training and educational programmes offered

by the Institution of Fire Engineers and is a very hands-on course – you’ll
work with the training team at Lancashire Fire and Rescue HQ in your
first year, and get the chance to work with fire safety engineering compa-
nies, all with the aim of boosting your employability when you graduate.
Part C. Further Information*
The course is delivered by academics with extensive experience in
fire related subjects and fire service professionals who bring years of
experience from working in industry and the fire and rescue service.
The 2013 National Student Survey (NSS) findings show that 100%
of fire students said that as a result of the course their career prospects
had improved.
Fire Engineering is about how fires work, the effects they have on
people/society, and the prevention/suppression of fires. Fire Engineer-
ing also considers fundamental things such as the structure of a flame
or how a water spray affects the turbulence of cloud of smoke. It is the
development of novel technological and engineering solutions with-
in the often contradictory constraints of safety, economy and the law
which pose the challenge in the course.
This course emphasises fire in the context of buildings and infra-
structure, and the technology for predicting fires and designing against
them. The application of Fire Engineering is multi-disciplinary (every
area of academic study plays a role in this understanding from law to
chemistry) and it is envisaged that, as in the professional world, you
will carry out project work, which will facilitate dialogue between the
Fire Engineer and other members of the design and management teams.
Fire Engineering is for students aiming for senior roles after grad-
uation in safety design roles or on their way to becoming senior fire
officers. BEng(Hons) Fire Engineering is supported by an established
research base and builds on the training and educational programmes
offered by the Institution of Fire Engineers.
