Hi everyone. Some weeks ago I made a numbers listening practice video for
intermediate English learners. This video is for advanced English learners. This
video is mainly for people who intend to take the IELTS exam, but understanding
numbers is important for anybody learning English, so even if you don't
plan on taking an exam, I still recommend that you get a piece of paper and a pen
and try to do this exercise. I'm going to read out sentences that each have a
number in them. The number might be a fraction, a percentage, it might have a
decimal point, or it might just be a regular whole number. There will be two
sets of ten, so I recommend that you pause the video now and write one to ten
on a piece of paper twice. For each sentence try to write the number as well
as the unit or the thing that's being counted. For example: 150 meters, $1,500,
a third of a pie, 60 percent, one hundred people. But if you find that too
difficult, just write the numbers. I just have a short announcement before we
start. If you are an intermediate or advanced English learner and you really
want to expand your vocabulary, consider signing up for my free fortnightly
email lessons. And by the way, having a good vocabulary is very important if you
want to take the IELTS. If you've already signed up for my
newsletter, don't worry, you don't have to do it again, it's the same list. I've just
changed the format of the emails. Before I was sending out a newsletter with
random English tips, and now there will actually be a
a lesson in each email. It'll consist of a short text with some vocabulary, and
a little quiz. If you would like to receive those free lessons, the link is
in the description. Now let's get started with the numbers quiz.
Set one.
Set two.
That's it, guys. I hope you found this helpful. Let me know how you went
in the comments section. Was this too difficult?
Do you want me to go even faster next time? Let me know.
