3. Listening: How to Solder on Circuit Boards

In the previous section, you had a chance to read about soldering. You may have noticed that the language of instructions is not difficult with mostly imperatives used. A similar language will be used in a video on soldering here.

Watch the video and complete this listening comprehension task.

Your coursebook (Bonamy, D. (2013). Technical English Level 4 Coursebook. Pearson Longman, p. 30) describes another practical demonstration on soldering. You will hear a short instruction on how to prepare a resistor for soldering on a printed circuit board. You can see three illustrative diagrams on p. 30 in your coursebook. Study the diagrams first and put them in the correct order. To check your answers, listen to or read listening script no. 11 on p. 120 in your coursebook. As you listen, put the instructions in this task in the correct order.
