Unit one Letters, numbers and numeral relationships----Getting the Facts
在IELTS听力考试中，常会出现让考生拼写人名或者地名的考题。这就要求考生对英语的26个字母不仅要非常熟悉，而且要掌握其准确的发音。如果你自己的发音不准，就会影响听音的准确性。例如“Gill”中的字母“G”常常被考生误听成“J”，而字母“W”也常被考生误听成“Double”。
在IELTS听力考试中，还常常出现与数字相关的信息，如电话号码、时间、日期等，要求考生用最快的速度把这些信息抓住并准确地记录下来。
本单元就是通过日常对话、报告等针对人名、地名、数字以及数字相关的信息进行训练。目的是：
1.帮助考生熟悉日常生活中常见的人名、地名、数字以及数字相关的信息，并能在实际交流中准确地拼出人名、地名，记录下数字及其相关信息。
2.通过字母拼写和数字练习培养学生边听边记的能力，改变只听不写的做法。
建议考生在做本单元联系过程中，当听到人名、地名、数字时一定要跟着重复或默读。这样能加深印象，有助于准确地记住有关信息。在数字练习中，如果掌握了三位数数字的听和记，应付较大的数字就比较容易了。因为英文数字是以三位数为一组读出的。例如：321，321,321，读作three hundred twenty one million，three hundred twenty one thousand，three hundred and twenty one。

In Britain, when giving or asking for telephone numbers, we don?t say thousand, hundred or million, we say each number separately. So 421 6759 is four-two-one, six-seven-five-nine. The “0” is pronounced “Oh”. 081 436 0872 is oh-eight-one, four-three-six, oh-eight-seven-two. These numbers are in groups. The groups are codes for areas in Britain. When we say the numbers, we pause between the groups. However, when the same number occurs twice the word ?double? is used with the number. 1994422 is one-double nine, double-four, double two.
Listen to some dialogues between a caller on the phone and a secretary. As you listen write the telephone numbers and names in the spaces below.
