TELEPHONE AND FAX NUMBERS

We usually give telephone and fax numbers as individual digits:

01273 736344 oh one two seven three, seven three six, three four four

344 can also be said as three double four

44 26 77 double four, two six, double seven

777 can be said as seven double seven or seven seven seven

7. FRACTIONS

Fractions are mostly like ordinal numbers (fifth, sixth, twenty third etc):

a third a fifth

a sixth

Notice, however, the following:

a half	a quarter	three quarters
three and a half	two and three quarters

Now read the following news item:

In an opinion poll published today, over ¼ of the electorate say they intend to vote in next month's referendum/ ¼ of voters say they will definitely vote 'Yes', while 1/3 will vote 'No'. But that leaves over 2/3 of the voters who haven't made up their minds. Both sides remain hopeful. A spokesman for the 'Yes' campaign said, "At the moment, 2/3 of the electorate won't vote 'No'". A spokesman for the other side replied, " That's true, but ¾ won't vote 'Yes'!"

CALCULATING

Remember to pronounce the s in equals as [z]. It is singular; the part on the left equals the part on the right.

10 + 4 = 14 ten plus four is fourteen ten and four equals fourteen

10 – 4 = 6 ten minus four is six

ten take away four equals six

41

10 x 4 = 40 ten times four is (or equals) forty ten multiplied by four is forty

10 ÷ 4 = 2 ½ ten divided by four is two and a half

+ = add - = subtract (deduct) x = multiply ÷ = divide Other ways of saying divide are:

per	Fr/$	francs per dollar
	6% p.a.	six per cent per annum
over	(x − y)/z	x minus y, over z which is not the same as
		x, minus y over z: x –y/z

9. FOREIGN CURRENCY

Notice these ways of speaking about exchange rates:

How many francs are there to the dollar?

How many francs per dollar did you get?

The current rate is 205 pesetas to the pound.

How would you say these dollar rates?

Dollar rates:

Australia……… 1.0113 AUD

Canada……….. 1.0106 CAD

Germany ……. 0.7304 EUR

Hong Kong….. 7.7514 HKD

Japan………….. 82.4827 JPY

NUMBERS AS ADJECTIVES

When a number is used before a noun – like an adjective – it is always singular. We say:

a fifty-minute lesson	not a fiftyminutes lesson
Here are more examples:
a sixteen-week semester	a thirty-five pounds book

42

a fifteen-minute walk	a six-week waiting list
a twentypound reduction	a two and a half litre bottle
a six billion dollar loan	a two litre engine

Say the following in a similar way:

1.	They lent us 250,000 pounds	They gave us a …..
2.	Our house is 200 years old	We bought a ………..
3. We lost $50,000		We made a…………..
4. The salmon weighed 15 pounds!		I caught a ………..

Presenter: So to sum up…

We’ve compared the case for building our own warehouse with our current practice of outsourcing distribution. We’ve looked at two main points; one, the cost; and two, efficiency in delivering to our customers. As we have seen, we’ll break even on the investment in warehouse in just five years. After that, we can expect to save costs on distribution. What’s more, the warehouse will enable us to deliver faster and more efficiently to our customers.

My conclusion is, therefore, that the new warehouse should be built as soon as possible. Then we can have the benefits of greater savings and greater efficiency in the future.

Thank you for your attention. Any questions?
