Activity 2b Listen and repeat the numbers. 3 min

Objective: to practise the pronunciation of numbers above 1,000

STEP 1: Ask the pupils to look at the numbers. Ask them to tell you what they notice in these numbers. Again the answer should be: “There is a comma after the millions and thousands, but no spaces”.

STEP 2: Read the first number aloud or play the DVD. The pupils should repeat all together after you/the DVD. Do the same with the second number, etc. When you come to 3,730 and 2,330, ask your pupils to tell you what they notice. Again they should answer that there is “and” between “hun dred” and “nine”, that‟s between hundreds and tens.

Note: You can look at pages 116-117 of the textbook for information about numbers, especially numbers above 1,000. There you can find information about the spelling, writing and reading rules of numbers.
