4. The complexity of the above four figures

During the inspection, quantity, weight, length, and so measurement data, we will encounter relatively large number. The figures are within the four Chinese students, as long as a firmer foundation, yet will not be a problem, but four more are likely to cause a problem. This is mainly due to the Chinese four-digit counting from the start on a “million” as a unit into the number;, but in English there is no “10000” concept, 10,000 pronounced “ten thousand”, 10 1000. So from here, the number of Chinese and English conceptual differences began to occur. Another example is 100,000,000, the Chinese are “10 million”, while English is the “ten million”, 10 million. Let the number of candidates in the concept of such a conversion back and forth, in the time-sensitive hearing test, it is very unwise. At this point, Longre IELTS experts recommend candidates to simply follow a basic concept, the concept of confusion can be avoided figures, namely: the number of English for a number of every three units, such as:

1,000 = one thousand

1,000,000 = one million

1,000,000,000 = one billion

And the international standard is also written in each of three separated by a comma, and the concept of English law exactly the same. So that we are listening figures, as long as the number set aside the concept of the Chinese, using the internationally accepted wording can write down the numbers, and records do not need to think about when the complete figure in the end is. This not only saves time but also greatly reduce the error rate.
