By understanding these cause-and-effect relationships, you will be able to communicate effectively and ensure the smooth operation and safety of the ship.
Під час цієї частини уроку ми розглянемо деякі приклади типових ситуацій, з якими можуть зіткнутися мотористи. Ці приклади допоможуть нам зрозуміти, як одна дія чи подія може спричинити іншу, ось чому для мотористів важливо використовувати структуру «тому ... що» для вираження результатів і наслідків. Зверніть увагу на ці приклади та подумайте про причини, що стоять за ними. Розуміючи ці причинно-наслідкові зв’язки, ви зможете ефективно спілкуватися та забезпечувати безперебійну роботу та постійну безпеку судна.
Examples of typical situations where one action or event caused another for ship's motormen:

The clause "so ... that" for results and consequences is necessary for a motorman because it allows them to describe and explain the cause-and-effect relationships within various ship systems and operations. By using this structure, motormen can highlight the intensity or degree of an action or event and its direct impact on the ship's performance, safety, and overall functionality. It helps them communicate effectively about critical incidents, equipment failures, maintenance needs, and the resulting consequences, ensuring proper understanding and prompt action for optimal ship operations.
Вживання конструкції "so ... that" повідомляє результати та наслідки що може бути необхідним для моториста, оскільки мотористу потрібно описувати та пояснювати причинно-наслідкові зв'язки в роботі різних систем та операцій судна. Використовуючи цю структуру, мотористи можуть повідомити про інтенсивність дії або ступінь необхідної дії у відповідь на подію, її прямий вплив на ефективність судна, безпеку та загальну функціональність. Допомагає їм ефективно комунікувати стосовно критичних випадків, відмов обладнання, потреб обслуговування та наслідків, забезпечувати належне розуміння та швидку реакцію необхідну для оптимальної експлуатації судна.

Poetry
Poetry
10_3poetry.wavA clause is a group of words that contains a subject and a verb. A “so … that” clause describes a result or a consequence of a situation or an action. The word “so” is followed by an adjective or an adverb, and the word “that” introduces another clause. For example, “The engine was so loud that we couldn’t hear each other.” Here, “the engine was so loud” is a “so … that” clause and “we couldn’t hear each other” is another clause. The sentence describes the result of the engine being loud.
Here is a poetry with a grammatical structure and some of the keywords that you provided:
We are the ship's motormen
We do the maintenance and the repair
We work with pistons and pumps
We work with valves and shafts
The engine is so powerful that it can move the ship
The pump is so efficient that it can cool the engine
The valve is so precise that it can control the pressure
The shaft is so smooth that it can rotate the propeller
The vibration is so strong that it can shake the floor
The cooling is so important that it can prevent overheating
The pressure is so high that it can damage the pipes
The rotation is so fast that it can generate electricity
The sump tank is so useful that it can collect the oil
The oil is so dirty that it can cause corrosion
The corrosion is so harmful that it can reduce the performance
The performance is so vital that it can affect the safety
We are the ship's motormen
We care about the results and the consequences
We are skilled and experienced
We are reliable and responsible
Now, let me take the second line of the second stanza as an example:
The pump is so efficient that it can cool the engine
In this line, there is a “so … that” clause. The word “so” is followed by an adjective, which is “efficient”. The word “that” introduces another clause, which is “it can cool the engine”. The main verb in the first clause is “is”, which is in the present simple tense. The main verb in the second clause is “can”, which is followed by a base form of another verb, which is “cool”. These verbs form the present simple tense. The sentence describes the result or consequence of the pump being efficient.

Exploring Cause and Effect with "So ... That" Structure: Emphasizing Degrees of Impact and Consequences
Exploring Cause and Effect with "So ... That" Structure: Emphasizing Degrees of Impact and Consequences
Today, we will be focusing on the structure "so ... that" to express cause and effect, allowing us to emphasize the degree or intensity of a situation or action and demonstrate its resulting consequences.
The structure "so ... that" is used to express a cause and its result or consequence. It emphasizes the extent or degree of the cause and shows the effect or outcome that is directly related to it. Here's the breakdown of the structure:
"so" + adjective or adverb: This part emphasizes the degree or extent of the cause. It describes the intensity, extent, or level of the situation or action.
Example:
The engine required so much maintenance.
"that" + result or consequence clause: This part expresses the effect or outcome of the cause mentioned before. It explains what happens as a result of the degree or intensity mentioned in the first part.
Example:
It caused delays in the ship's schedule.
Putting it together, we have the complete structure:
The engine required so much maintenance that it caused delays in the ship's schedule.
In this example, "so much maintenance" emphasizes the high degree or extent of the maintenance required by the engine, and "it caused delays in the ship's schedule" shows the result or consequence of that extensive maintenance.
Overall, the structure "so ... that" is a useful way to indicate a strong cause-effect relationship and highlight the impact or consequence of a particular situation or action.
Структура «так ... що» використовується для вираження причини та її результату чи наслідку. Вона підкреслює важливість причини та показує наслідок або результат, який безпосередньо з нею пов’язаний. Ось розбивка структури:
"отже" + прикметник або прислівник: підкреслює ступінь або значимість причини. Описує інтенсивність, ступінь або рівень ситуації чи дії.
Приклад:
Двигун потребував дуже грунтовного обслуговування.
"що" + речення результату або наслідку: Виражає наслідок або результат причини, згаданої раніше. Ппояснює, що відбувається внаслідок ступеня чи інтенсивності, згаданих у першій частині.
Приклад:
Це спричинило затримки в розкладі судна.
Склавши докупи, ми маємо повну структуру:
Двигун вимагав настільки значного технічного обслуговування, що це спричинило затримки в розкладі корабля.
У цьому прикладі «настільки значного технічного обслуговування» підкреслює високий ступінь або обсяг технічного обслуговування, необхідного для двигуна, а «це спричинило затримки в розкладі судна» показує результат або наслідок такого значного технічного обслуговування.
Загалом, структура «так... що» є корисним способом вказати сильний причинно-наслідковий зв’язок і підкреслити вплив або наслідок конкретної ситуації чи дії.
