Traffic -Transport - Vehicles

1. What means of transport do you know?
We can travel by bicycle, scooter, motorcycle (motorbike), car, taxi, bus,
tram,trolleybus, underground, train, plane, ship, boat, ferry and ocean liner.
2. Can you drive?
Yes, I can. I have had a driving licence for a year. I havent driven a lot, but I try to
drive as often as I can to keep up my driving skills.
3. What makes a good driver?
I think a good driver knows the Highway Code. He is patient, careful, and respects
traffic rules.
4. What do you do when you get into a car and want to start it?
I put in the ignition key, and turn it. Then I push down the clutch, and put the gear
lever in first gear. After that I let the handbrake off, and I am ready to start.

5. What are the main parts of a car?

The engine, the wheels, the steering wheel, the pedals,
the dashboard and the windscreen are the main parts of a car.

Words:
irnyjelz = direction indicator
mszerfal = dashboard
sebessgvlt (szerkezet) = gearbox, gearcase
sebessgvltkar = gear-lever, gear-stick
automata sebessgvlt = automatic transmission (gear system)
sebessgmr = speedometer
futm = running gear
vilgtberendezs = lighting equipment

6. What do you use the the GPS for?

The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a
Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS)
developed by the United States Department
of Defense. It is the only fully functional
GNSS in the world. It uses a constellation
of between 24 and 32 Medium Earth Orbit
satellites that transmit precise microwave
signals, that enable GPS receivers to determine
their current location, the time and their
velocity (including direction).

7. What is the difference between the two-stroke and the four stroke combustion
engine?
The two-stroke internal combustion engine differs from the more common four-stroke
engine by completing the same four processes (intake, compression, combustion,
exhaust) in only two strokes of the piston rather than four. This is accomplished by using
the beginning of the compression stroke and the end of the combustion stroke to perform
the intake and exhaust functions. This allows a power stroke for every revolution of the
crank, instead of every second revolution as in a four-stroke engine. For this reason,
two-stroke engines provide high specific power, so they are valued for use in portable,
lightweight applications such as chainsaws as well as large-scale industrial applications
like locomotives.

8. What do vehicles run on?

Most vehicles run on petrol or gas. I have recently read about electric cars.

9. What role does electronics play in engineering industry?

Key words: automation, robots, assembly line

10. If you bought a car, how would you choose it?
