hi everyone some weeks ago I made a

0:05

numbers listening practice video for

0:08

intermediate English learners this video

0:11

is for advanced English learners this

0:15

video is mainly for people who intend to

0:17

take the IELTS exam but understanding

0:21

numbers is important for anybody

0:23

learning English so even if you don't

0:27

plan on taking an exam I still recommend

0:30

that you get a piece of paper and a pen

0:32

and try to do this exercise I'm going to

0:36

read out sentences that each have a

0:39

number in them the number might be a

0:42

fraction a percentage it might have a

0:46

decimal point or it might just be a

0:49

regular whole number there will be two

0:53

sets of ten so I recommend that you

0:56

pause the video now and write one to ten

1:01

on a piece of paper twice for each

1:04

sentence try to write the number as well

1:08

as the units or the thing that's being

1:12

counted for example 150 meters $1,500 a

1:20

third of a pie 60 percent one hundred

1:27
