Hi everyone! Welcome back to English with Max. If you've been learning English for
a while, you probably know that understanding numbers and names in a
foreign language can be quite difficult. That's why it's a good idea to sometimes
practise those things, especially if you're going to sit an exam like the
IELTS. This video is mainly for students with an intermediate level, but soon I'll
do another video for students with an advanced level. If this is the first time
you've watched one of my videos, be sure to subscribe and to click that little
bell if you want to receive notifications when I release a new video.
I'm also on social media and if you want, you can follow me there as well.
There are subtitles for this video, but there won't be subtitles during the actual
quiz. This is how the quiz works. I'm going to read out sentences that each
have a number in them. There will be two sets of ten. So what I want you to do is
get a piece of paper and a pen (yes, these very old-fashioned things) and write one
to ten two times. Pause the video now if you need to.
When I read out a sentence, you need to write down the number as well as what is being
counted. For example, if I say, "There were 12,000 people at the concert,"
you need to write "12,000 people". If I say, "The computer cost seven hundred and
forty-nine dollars ninety-five," you need to write this. You get one point if you get the
number right and one point if you get the thing or the unit right. So for each
set of ten, the maximum score is 20, and for the entire quiz,
the maximum score is 40. I'll put the answers at the end of the video. Like in
the IELTS, I'm only going to read each sentence once. Are you ready?
I actually have no idea how many earrings I have. I'm sure I have more than that.
Nothing wrong with that.
That's it everybody. The answers will be after this.
You will need to pause the video to read them.
Let me know your score in the comments and if you have any other
questions, you can also put them in the comments section. I hope you found this
useful, guys. I'll see you next time.
There's a dog barking. I like dogs.
I prefer them to cats.
