HOW TO …
Look up vocabulary
Jeder kennt die Möglichkeit, Vokabeln im Wörterbuch oder im Internet nachzuschauen, doch gerade
Fachvokabular ist nicht immer einfach zu finden. Oft erhält man mehrere Möglichkeiten als Antwort, weiß
damit aber immer noch nicht welche die richtige ist.
Hier gibt es die Möglichkeit Antworten zu „googeln“, indem man erst den deutschen Begriff eingibt und
sich die Bilder dazu anschaut, danach den englischen Begriff eingibt und die Bilder vergleicht.

4.
a) Look for the English expressions of the following words and pictures.
b) Write down a list in your exercise book and create a similar page with pictures of tools
and their names in English and German.

Kombizange
Seitenschneider
Telefonzange
Ladezange,
Betterieklemme

Workshop
A messy workshop
Before Lucy starts painting the billiard room she goes to the workshop to get
the tools she needs.
Lucy:I need a brush, a roller and an extension pole so that I can start in the billiard
room.
Justin:Well, let’s have a look. I think the extension pole is here in the corner. Oh no, it’s
just a broomstick.
Hakan: There’s a brush on the shelf next to the radio.
Victor: The roller is in the paint bucket between the shelf and the door.
Lucy:Great, ... but the brush and the roller are full of dried paint. That’s just rubbish.
I thought you Germans are so neat. Don’t you ever clean your tools?
Sebi:I do! But I’m not the only one who works here and the problem is that not
everyone cleans up their own stuff.
