| Today we'll start to learn
Unit Six SAM ADAMS, INDUSTRIAL ENGINEER. We'll cover this lesson
in 6 periods. In the first three periods we'll go over the major text
and focus our attention on the overall understanding of the text and
some related knowledge. Also, we'll learn some language points in
the text. In the next three periods we'll do the follow-up exercises
and focus listening and then come to the reading and writing practice.
After each period of lesson, we have provided some little assignments
for the lesson so that you can consolidate what you have learned in
class and prepare for the next period. Now, before we come to the major text itself, let's first see some related information about the text and also the new words.  1.1
Introduction to the Text |

 Hello,
everyone. Now, please think about this question: How is a shirt made?
You may say that it is made by a tailor. Yes. It’s true that in the
past most shirts were made by tailors. They did all the jobs---designing,
cutting, sewing and ironing---all on their own. Today, however, most
shirts are not made by tailors but by workers on assembly lines in
clothing factories. On an assembly line, the whole job of shirt-sewing
is divided into small parts and each worker on the line does only
one particular job---sewing on front parts, back parts, collars, sleeves,
pockets and buttons, etc. Finally a shirt is made, or rather, pieced
together at the end of the line. Shirts are made faster and more efficiently
in this way. An
assembly line should be well designed and the workload should be fairly
allocated. Everyone working on the line should work fast enough to
keep pace with others or else the work will be held up beside him
or her and the line won’t flow smoothly. Think about what may happen
on an assembly line. One may easily get bored and tired at doing the
same job all day long; one may not work fast enough to catch up with
others; one may be so careless or tired as to forget to sew on a button,
a pocket, or even a sleeve. How to avoid these problems and how to
improve the management and increase the productivity, profit and efficiency?
This is the job for an industrial engineer. Let’s read Unit Six and
see what Sam Adams, an industrial engineer, has suggested to solve
all these problems. Did he succeed? |
