First of all, letters and packets are collected in bags from pillar boxes, post
offices and firms, in post office vans. They are then taken to the sorting
office, where the bags are emptied and the letters separated from the
packets. Following this step, the letters are put through machines so that
the stamps can be cancelled. In this process the date and place of sorting
are put over the stamps on each envelope. In the next stage, the sorting

of the letters takes place, according to the county they are addressed to.
This is done by placing them in the appropriate pigeon hole. Subsequently,
the letters are taken from the pigeon holes and placed in baskets, which are
then put onto a conveyor belt. While on this conveyor belt, the baskets are
directed to the appropriate secondary sorting section by means of coding
pegs. At the secondary sorting frames, the letters are put into towns in the
county. Later, the letters are tied in bundles and a label is put on showing
the towns they are addressed to. Finally, the letter bundles are placed in
bags, which have the Post Office seal, Post Office Railway number and
Destination Code number on them, and then these are sent to the railway
station.

2) Desenhe um diagrama para o processo explicado acima.

3) Numere os pargrafos abaixo na ordem correta.

Car Braking System

( ) If air leaks into the system, the brakes become much less efficient. This
is because, unlike liquids, gases are compressible and some of the
movement of the brake pedal is taken up in squeezing the air bubble.
(
) The braking system of a car is a good example of how a hydraulic
system works.
(
) This brings the car to a smooth halt. Provided the system is kept filled
with brake fluid, hydraulic brakes work instantly because liquids cannot be
compressed to any great extent
( ) When the brake pedal is pressed a piston operates which forces brake
fluid out of the master cylinder and along four narrow pipes to the slave
cylinders attached to the brake drums or discs so that the same pressure is
applied to the brakes in each wheel

The photocopier
Static electricity __________ a photocopier to produce almost instant
copies of documents. At the heart of the machine is a metal drum
which is given a negative charge at the beginning of the copying
cycle. The optical system then __________ an image of the document
on the drum. The electric charge disappears where light strikes the

metal surface, so only dark parts of the image remain charged.

Positively charged particles of toner powder are then applied to the
drum. The charged parts of the drum __________ the dark powder,
which is then transferred to a piece of paper. A heater __________ the
powder to the paper, and a warm copy of the document emerges
from the photocopier.
