The goal of technical English is not elaborate wording; it is to describe the defect, location, condition and maintenance action clearly and without ambiguity.
Regularly practice terms used for defect wording, maintenance action, component location, condition, leakage, damage, missing, loose and broken items. Follow terminology used in approved manuals and company procedures.
In interviews, concise, technical and safety-focused answers are effective. When you do not know, state that you would verify the approved data rather than guess.
