🔧 Reading Challenge: At the Repair Shop!
📖 Article:
Many people visit repair shops when their car, phone, or laptop suddenly stops working. Repair shops are important because they help us fix problems, save money, and even protect the environment by reducing waste.
When you go to a repair shop, the first step is usually the inspection. The technician checks the device carefully to understand the problem. Sometimes the issue is small, like a loose wire, and sometimes it’s more serious, like a complete breakdown. After the inspection, the technician explains the options: you can either choose a repair or a replacement if the part is too damaged.
Another important step is troubleshooting. This means testing different parts of the machine to figure out exactly what went wrong. Customers often ask about the warranty, because they want to know if the repair will be covered or if they must pay for it.
Good repair shops don’t just fix the problem — they also give advice about maintenance. For example, they may remind you to update your software, check your car’s oil regularly, or clean your laptop fan. Proper maintenance reduces wear and tear and keeps devices working longer.
Finally, safety and trust are very important. A professional shop uses clean tools, follows safety rules, and explains everything clearly. This makes customers feel confident and satisfied with the service.
📝 Scenario-Based Challenge:
Imagine this situation: Your laptop suddenly stops working and you go to a repair shop.
Write a short dialogue (5–6 lines) between you and the technician using at least 2 of the new words (e.g., breakdown, replacement, troubleshooting, warranty).
💡 Critical Thinking Challenge:
- Do you usually repair things or prefer to buy new ones? Why?
- What are the environmental benefits of repairing items instead of replacing them?
- In your country, do people prefer to repair or replace broken things? Give an example.
- If a repair costs more than expected, how would you deal with it?
