Listening 2 ⊗13 Listen to a contractor describing two types of driveway construction.

List the materials you hear

asphalt, concrete , gravel, crushed tone, coarse sand…

3 Here are some adjectives (in italics) that the contractor uses to describe the materials Write the opposite of the adjectives

Then listen again and check your answers

4 ⊗13 Listen to a contractor talking about the key properties of asphalt Make notes on what he says about the following.

penetration value - tells you how hard or soft the asphalt is;

depends on the climate

1 cutback

2 porosity

3 noise reduction

4 reflection

tells you how fast the asphalt cures is; depends on local conditions

tell you how much water the asphalt lets through

tell you know where sound reduction is motorways , in built-up areas

tell you how the surface of the asphalt absorbs light and reduces reflection

is an asphalt surface you don't have a bedding layer, but you do have abinding layer, which holds everything together

cure glare hard sound water

5 Match these words to the key properties in 4 Listen again and check your answers

1.Cure 2 water 3.Sound 4 glare 5 hard

6 Work in pairs Discuss why the properties in 4 are important in building roads.

Penetration values tell us how hard or soft the asphalt is I think harder asphalt

lasts longer, but in hot climates hard asphalt cracks.

7 Match the nouns 1-6 with the correct adjectives a-f.

1-b 2-f 3-e 4-a 5-c 6-d

8 Complete these sentences by choosing the correct words in italics.

1 Asphalt is used in road construction because it is strength / strong

2 Hardness / Hard asphalt is often very brittleness / brittle.

3 Porosity / Porous asphalt improves safety by removing water from the

surface of the road

4 Toughness / Tough is a measure of the energy y o u need to break something.

5 It is important that roads have enough elasticity / elastic to return to their original shape after loading.

We use adjectives to describe nouns a loose/firm surface an original shape a strong material

We make comparisons by changing the

adjective

Short adjectives: hard - harder, strong - stronger Adjectives ending in -y: heavy - heavier, easy - easier Long adjectives: brittle - more/less brittle, porous - more/less porous
