there

0:04

are

0:06

hi guys welcome back to English

0:09

with Max today I have a listening

0:13

practice for you more specifically a

0:16

numbers listening practice this video

0:19

will be useful for anyone learning

0:22

English but you can also use it as exam

0:26

preparation particularly if you're

0:28

preparing for the I Els just quickly

0:32

remember that you can watch this video

0:34

with English subtitles if you want

0:37

however there won't be any subtitles

0:40

when we do the actual listening practice

0:43

and of course remember that you can also

0:45

follow me on social media I've been

0:48

wanting to do this video for a long time

0:52

because well numbers are hard I don't

0:56

want to sound negative or

0:58

pessimistic but in general understanding

1:02

numbers in a foreign language will

1:04

always be a bit more difficult than in

1:06

your native language if you've watched

1:09

my videos before you will know that when

1:12

I lived in Paris I studied conference

1:14

interpreting for a while uh it was a

1:18

good school all of the teachers there

1:20

were professional experienced

1:23

interpreters and even they said that

1:26

understanding numbers quickly could

1:28

often be a challenge before that I just

1:32

thought that I found it hard in my

1:35

foreign languages because I hadn't done

1:38

enough listening practice and that one

1:41

day it would be just as easy as in my

1:44

native language but no it's actually

1:48

quite rare for that to happen however

1:51

that doesn't mean that you can't improve

1:53

with practice and that is what we are

1:56

going to do today this is how it will

2:00

work I'm going to read out sentences

2:04

that each have a number in them I'm not

2:07

just going to read out a list of numbers

2:10

because I don't think that's very

2:13

realistic normally when we hear numbers

2:16

they are surrounded by other words so

2:19

what I want you to do is get a piece of

2:22

paper and write 1 to 10 two times we are

2:28

going to do two sets of 10 pause the

2:32

video here if you need to then when I

2:36

read out a sentence I want you to write

2:38

the number as well as what is being

2:42

counted for example if I say there are

2:47

10,500 trees in that Forest you need to

2:52

write 10, 500 trees or if I say that

2:58

jacket cost2

3:01

$214.95 you need to write this or

3:07

this give yourself one point if you get

3:10

the number right and one point if you

3:14

get the thing or the unit right so the

3:18

maximum score you can get for one set is

3:22

20 points I'll put the answers at the

3:24

end of the video like in the IELTS you

3:27
