English in the technical context: bathroom fittings
When things get a little technical, it can help to remember three stages:
1. Can I describe it?
What are the names of all the parts and how do they relate to each other?
Here, you will find yourself collecting new vocabulary, principally in the form of nouns and adjectives.
2. Can I give instructions to use or repair it?
Giving instructions involves a series of actions (verbs in their simple form) related to the various parts you've already learned the names of.
3. Can I explain how it works?
This is more complicated, as it means understanding how things work.
You'll find yourself needing a lot more verbs and, most likely, some other additional vocabulary, in addition to the words that you've already learnt.
