STUDY SKILL Using a dictionary
Use an English-English dictionary to read the definition(s) and look at the example sentences. These will help you use the words correctly.
Affect vs. Effect
Affect and effect are often confused. affect
v
means to cause some result or change in; influence: an
important decision that will affect the company’s future
effect n means a result or condition produced by a cause; something that happens when one thing acts on another: The advertising campaign didn’t have much effect on sales. COMPARE affect and effect. 1. Affect is the usual verb and
effect is the usual noun: Government policy will not affect (v) us /will not have any effect (n) on us. 2. Affect means ‘to change’: Nicotine adversely affects the functioning of the heart and arteries.
Effect used as a verb is very formal and means “to bring about,
usually according to one’s wishes”: He was able to effect certain changes in government policy.
A dictionary entry will also help you use a word by giving any prepositions which collocate, e.g. have an effect on, which means to cause a particular kind of change in something or someone: The advertising campaign didn’t have much effect on sales. (from Longman Dictionary of English Language and
Culture, 1992 )

Speak clearly. Explain, rephrase, and clarify new or difficult
terms.
Write notes to remind you of the main points. Write key phrases to each section and the summary
affects /effects resulting from cold working treatment are not (f) affected /effected.
6. Iron, manganese, nickel, and molybdenum are also added to aluminum
with various beneficial (g) affects / effects.

effect on mechanical properties.

Metalworking and Welding
Metalworking is the process of working with metals to create individual
parts, assemblies, or large scale structures. It is a science, art, hobby, industry and trade.
Metalworking has evolved from the discovery of smelting various ores, producing malleable and ductile metal useful for tools and adornments. Modern metalworking processes, though diverse and specialized, can be categorized as forming, cutting or joining processes. The term covers a wide range of work from large ships and bridges to precise engine parts and delicate jewelry.
Metal fabrication is the creation of metal structures by cutting, bending, and assembling processes.
Metalworking processes:
Welding is a fabrication process that joins materials, usually metals or thermoplastics, by causing coalescence. It is often done by melting the workpieces and adding a filler material to form a pool of molten material that cools to become a strong joint. Sometimes, the weld is produced through the use of pressure, with or without heat. By contrast, soldering and brazing involve melting a lower-melting-point material between the workpieces to form a bond between them, without melting the workpieces.
A variety of energy sources can be used for welding, including a gas flame, an electric arc, a laser, an electron beam, friction, and ultrasound. Welding techniques:
