From the following extract of the text write out terms, bookish and learned words.

Metal can be formed into shapes using heat and pressure. Casting involves heating metal until it becomes molten (liquid) and pouring it, or forcing it under the pressure, into a mould called a die. Instead of being cast, metal components can be formed by sintering. This is done by using metal powder instead of molten metal. The powder is placed in a die and compressed into a solid mass. It is then heated until it becomes sintered – that is, the powder particles join together structurally, due to their heat.
