Read and translate the following dialogs.
A minor fault
A: Hi. Someone has reported a fault on one of your copiers.
B: That’s right. I’m glad you’re here. It hasn’t been working properly for the last few days.
A: When was it serviced?
B: Just a couple of weeks ago. It’s usually very reliable.
A: What’s actually wrong with it?
B: Well, it’s making a strange noise when we try to change paper trays.
A: I’m sure it’s nothing serious; probably just a minor fault. I’ll have a look at it.
Light or heavy use?
A: I’ve just got a new printer. How often do I need to replace the print heads?
B: Well, under normal conditions each head lasts about 5 000 copies or so. It depends on the user, but about once a month in average.
A: So, if I don’t print out very much, it could last longer?
B: That’s right. It could last six month or more. This model’s designed for heavy use. Don’t worry - you’ll get an error message telling you to change the head.
Common problems
A: What sort of problems do you have with those machines?
B: They’re quite complex machines and they have a lot of different components. We need to check the metal casing regularly for any sign of corrosion. We also check the brushes once a fortnight to make sure they aren’t worn down. It’s important to make sure everything is properly aligned and we adjust it if necessary. There is a canvas belt at the end of the assembly line. If it gets wet, it might rot so we check that regularly too.
Jobs to do
A: Hi. Xavier. I’d like to go over the list of jobs for the next week’s maintenance shut.
B: Sure. We’ve got a lot to do in a short time. We’re planning to shut the line at midday on Wednesday and start up again at 6 pm the following day. We might need to extend the shut by six hours.
A: Our production people won’t be happy about this. We’ve got a full order book at the moment. Is there any way you could speed things up?
B: Not really. We need to dismantle the conveyor belt and replace the rollers.
2. Make up and present a dialog (use expressions and topics from the dialogs given above).
