1 steering wheel: The 'steering wheel' is the circular, disk-like device used by the driver to direct the vehicle. The term is composed of two interesting terms: the adjective 'steering', which comes from the verb 'to steer', which means to control the direction of something and 'wheel', any circular or disk-like object, often on an axis so that rotation is possible.
2 brake: A 'brake', (or 'the brakes') is a device for slowing or stopping a vehicle, usually by means of friction. Most good cars have 'brakes', accessible by depressing a pedal, as well an 'emergency brake' (or 'hand brake') located adjacent to the drivers seat. Did you know? 'Hit the brakes' is a common expression meaning 'slow down'!
3 clutch: In an automotive context, the term 'clutch' has two related meanings. It refers to the pedal which is depressed in order to engage and disengage the 'stick shift' while changing gears, as well as to the mechanism which changes gears itself. 'Clutches' are only present in cars with manual transmissions. Note that the term 'clutch' is generally preceded by the definite article 'the'.
4 gears: In an automobile transmission, a 'gear' is a mechanism which permits the driver to 'switch' or 'alternate' between different relations of torque and speed for the vehicle. The gears of a car also permit the driver to increase or decrease speed progressively, as well as reverse directions. The verb most commonly associated with 'gears' is 'to shift'. Did you know? 'Let's switch gears' is a common expression meaning 'let's change the topic of discussion', or 'let's do something completely different'.
5 windshield: The 'windshield' (US) or 'windscreen' (UK) is a protective piece of glass or plastic which protects the car's driver and passengers from the elements. Did you know? There are no common expressions which use the 'windshield', although this is place that 'windshield wipers' are found, rubber blades which remove water and dirt from the glass.
6 tire: A 'tire' (US) or 'tyre' (UK) is the rubber ring or band which surrounds the 'rim' of a 'wheel'. It is this rubber which comes in contact with the ground when a car is driven. When a 'tire' is punctured it must be replaced: this is called a 'flat tire'. Did you know? 'To burn rubber', an expression which means 'to go very fast', originates in the smell and sound of tires when a car accelerates very quickly, and the rubber of the tires 'burns'.
7 horn: The 'horn' of a car is the device used for emitting a noise to alert motorists of your presence, (very rarely called a 'klaxon'). 'A horn' has several other meanings; notably it is a brass instrument sometimes called the 'French Horn', or a general term for the brass section of a band, as well as the term for the projecting skin on the head of many animals such as goats and cows (and the devil). Did you know: 'To toot (or blow) your own horn' is an expression which means to 'boast', 'brag' or to talk highly of yourself or accomplishments.

This term refers to the time we take in the middle of the working day to eat, relax, maybe go for a cigarette. "I need to go to the Post Office during my lunch break, so I'll have to eat quickly."
break: "Break" is the correct answer. We have "coffee breaks", "cigarette breaks", and "lunch breaks" during the working day. When we want to relax, we say that we are going to "take a break". Example: "I always do my Gymglish lesson during the coffee break at work".
Exercice 3
"Icarus, I'm going to pull over at the next gas station."
"To pull ( a car) over" is to:
"To pull ( a car) over" is to:
"Icarus, I'm going to pull over at the next gas station."
"To pull ( a car) over" is to:
"To pull ( a car) over" is to:
This is incorrect. To "pull over" does not share the same meaning as to "get out of the car".
This is incorrect. To "brake" is to reduce a vehicle's speed or stop (a car). Cars have "brakes", accessible by depressing a pedal, as well an "emergency break" (or "hand break") located adjacent to the driver's seat.
This is correct. "To pull (a car) over" is to drive it out of the way of traffic, either to the side of a road or to the "curb" of a street (where the sidewalk meets the street). Example: "Here's the address, can you pull over to the side of the road?" Philip wants to leave the road at the next gas station.
This is incorrect. To "make u-turn" is a go in the opposite or reverse direction. Example: We discovered we were driving the wrong way so we made a u-turn at the next intersection.

Philip and Icarus have arrived at a gas station! According to Philip, what is the plan?
Philip will:
• buy some food 1
• go to the toilet 2
• buy some food 1
• go to the toilet 2
Icarus will:
• put gas in the car 3
• check the tire pressure 4
• put gas in the car 3
• check the tire pressure 4
1 buy some food: This is correct. Philip says that he is "going to go get some snacks". A "snack" refers to a light or quick meal or food that is eaten between meals. Philip probably means that he will buy chocolate, candy ("sweets" in UK English), or potato chips ("crisps" in UK English).
1 pay for the gas: This is incorrect. Philip says that he is "going to go get some snacks". This does not mean that he will pay for gas. "Gas" refers to fuel that is used for automobiles.
1 buy a road map: This is incorrect. Philip says that he is "going to go get some snacks". This does not mean that he will buy a road map. A "road map" is used by motorists and describes a plan that shows road details and distances.
1 hold up the store with a banana: This is incorrect. Philip says that he is "going to go get some snacks". This does not mean he will hold up the store with a banana. "To hold up (a bank)" is to "rob" it or demand money by theft.
2 go to the toilet: This is correct. Philip says that he will "use the rest room". A "rest room" is a room in a public building that contains toilets (or lavatories) and washing facilities.
2 have a rest: This is incorrect. Philip says that he will "use the rest room". This does not mean that he wants to have a rest.
2 repair the car: This is incorrect. Philip says that he will "use the rest room". This does not mean that he wants to repair the vehicle.
2 walk like an Egyptian: This is incorrect. Only the Bangles can walk like an Egyptian in the correct manner.
3 put gas in the car: This is correct. Philip asks Icarus to "fill up the tank". "To fill up (a car)" is to put fuel (gas or petrol) in it so that the fuel reservoir is full. A "tank" refers to the fuel reservoir of a vehicle that contains gas (or petrol).
3 check the oil level: This is incorrect. Philip asks Icarus to "fill up the tank". This does not mean that he wants Icarus to check the oil level. The "oil level" refers to the amount of lubricant remaining in the car engine.
3 clean the car interior: This is incorrect. Icarus asks an attendant to wash the "windshield", but Philip does not request Icarus to clean the interior of the car.
3 find a tank: This is incorrect. Philip asks Icarus to "fill up the tank". Philip is referring to the fuel reservoir of the vehicle, not an armoured car.
4 check the tire pressure: This is correct. Philip asks Icarus to "check the tires". This means that he wants Icarus to check the air pressure in the tires. A "tire" ("tyre" in UK English) refers to the ring of rubber that surrounds the wheels of a car. The "air pressure (in a tire)" generally refers to the amount of air in the tire, and more specifically to the exertion of force upon the surface of the tire.
4 check the lights: This is incorrect. Philip asks Icarus to "check the tires". This doesn't mean that Philip wants Icarus to check the lights of the car.
4 check the brakes: This is incorrect. Philip asks Icarus to "check the tires". This does not mean that Philip wants Icarus to check the brakes of the car. The "brakes" of a car refer to the mechanisms that reduce the speed of a vehicle.
4 check the state of his pants: This is incorrect. Icarus' pants are in perfect condition, but his little "Icky" is functioning badly.
