 Choose one of the words above that you know and explain which one you are thinking of
without using any part of its name until your partner works out which one you are talking
about.

Useful language

You can find it…

It’s used for…
It’s (usually/ always) made of…

A plane is a graphic representation usually made with technical means of a surface without making a
projection. For example, a city map. In Architecture it is the representation of the floor of a
construction (a building, for example). It’s used for helping us to get an idea of the surface or the type
of terrain and its characteristics. Which must be taken with special care in the case of construction or
infrastructure projects. Furthermore, depending on the type of plane, we can obtain or display more
detailed and complete information, because, like the map, the more specific and defined it is, the
greater the number of measurements and considerations can be taken.

What are the differences between the words divided by dashes (/)?

Basement/ Cellar

The difference is that a basement is the floor of a building which is partly or entirely below ground
level and a cellar is a room below ground level in a house that is often only used for storing wine or
coal, it is used for a specific purpose.

Lift/ Elevator

The differences is that An elevator has a totally enclosed cab and requires a shaft. However,
a lift typically has an open cab, except for 42” panels on the sides of the platform. Lifts are
generally more basic and lower cost than elevators.

Open-plan dining room/ kitchen

the word open plan dining room is used for kitchens with open plans and the word kitchen is
more general

Ground floor – First floor:

In British English, the floor of a building which is level with the ground is called the ground
floor. The floor above it is called the first floor, the floor above that is the second floor, and so
on.

In American English, the floor which is level with the ground is called the first floor, the floor
above it is the second floor, and so on.

Apartment building.

A flat is a non-gated and guarded five-storey walk-up residence, with outdoor parking and no
other facilities
Meanwhile, an apartment is gated and guarded and is over five storeys tall

Old people’s home/ Nursing home

the difference is that in Nursing home there is 24-hour nursing care unlike in the Old people’s
home

Luxury flats/ Condo

when we use the word condo it is to refer to a set of buildings and the word luxury flats is to
refer to a luxury apartment

Multi storey car park

the difference is that multistorey is used to talk about a parking lot that has several floors and
the word car park does not necessarily need several floors

Shopping center/ Mall

A shopping mall is usually a large building with many small shops inside. It typically will have
two or three floors with several large stores on the ends (Macy's, JC Penny's, Sears,
Nordstrom, etc.). A shopping center could be a shopping mall, but it is really just a shopping
"destination.

Health center/ clinic

the difference is that in the health center only primary treatment is given and in clinics it is
somewhat more specialized.

Rubber \ Eraser

An eraser erases things and A rubber is used to rub over the paper and to 'rub out' the pencil-
marks.
The original ones were also made of rubber (though many other materials

Foam/ Styrofoam

The difference is that foam is a substance composed of a large collection of bubbles or their solidified
remains while styrofoam is expanded polystyrene foam

Automatic pencil/ Mechanical pencil

Drawing pencils have a long lead sleeve so they can be used with a straight edge. They often have a
knurled metal grip and come in a variety of lead sizes, as opposed to normal ones that don't.
Which categories from above are and aren’t useful for you to talk about your work?

I personally believe that all the categories are necessary to me since I study civil engineering
and it is necessary to have knowledge of all the areas that surround the subject of creation
and structures.

In the categories which are useful, which words are and aren’t useful?

I don't consider any useless but the ones that I consider most useful are : Electrician, Civil engineer,
Interior designer, Decorator, Carpenter, Electrician ,Safety inspector, Roofer, Plasterer, Architectural
engineer.
