    I think this requires more skills than just English. I think is speed and the ability to retain information after listening.

    This is an useful practice due to the presenter dictate the numbers as happen in real life, it means in a normal speed. Yesterday was my first day in a customer service position, and it was a big challenge understand people by phone dictating their numbers in a high-speed way!! Of course I had to ask for repeating so I realized that I need more practice taking notes or write down numbers and letters. Thanks for the video, it was a great tool to improve my listening skills.

    Something that helped me answer correctly: is that you repeat each number block he says in a quiet voice or out loud, and when you finish the first block repeat the other block quickly and etc. So the key for me was just repeating!!

    Thank you for this exercise. I was wondering if it is necessary to add a space between some numbers,as shown in the video, in the ielts listening test or we can also write all digits together? Thanks in advance!

    • @solatiumz
      @solatiumz 6 років тому +8

      The first set of numbers is the area code, eg 0121 is Birmingham, whereas 01902 is Wolverhampton, if you notice, Birmingham has one less number in the area code, this means that it will have *one* more number in the actual telephone number, i.e. 0121 358 2378 as opposed to 01902 741741. This is because the area covered by the Birmingham dialling code is much larger than the Wolverhampton dialling code and so give the ooportunity to generate more telephone numbers.
