Writing

WHAT TO SAY

ONE We often say "a" instead of "one". For example when we have the numbers 100 or ¹ / ₂ we say "A hundred" or "A half". FRACTIONS Not all numbers are whole numbers, or just fractions (see above), they are a mixture of both. For example: 1 ¹ / ₂ - "One and a half."

DECIMALS When pronouncing decimals we use the word "point" to represent the dot. The numbers following the dot are pronounced separately. For example: When you have the number 1.36 we say "One point three six."

SQUARED / CUBED / TO THE POWER OF Square numbers are written 2² = we say "Two squared" = 2 x 2 = Two squared equals four. Cubed numbers are written 2³ = We say "Two cubed" = 2 x 2 x 2 = Two cubed equals eight You can also say "to the power of" - "Two to the power of two equals four." and "Two to the power of three equals eight." You can then have "to the power of" any number. Two to the power of twelve = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 = 4096. It's much easier to write 2¹² = 4096.

INTERESTING NUMBERS

~ 0 ~ What could possibly be interesting about nothing? Try writing the numbers zero (0) through nine (9). 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Then write how many numbers you have counted:- 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Yes, ten numbers, without using the number 10. You can put as many noughts in front of a number without changing the value of that number:- 01, 002, 0003, 00004... In English 10, 20, 30, through to 90 are 1 ten, 2 tens, 3 tens, etc.

Also there are a number of ways you

Can say 0 in English.

	When we use it	For example:-
0 = oh	after a decimal point	9.02 = "Nine point oh two."
	in bus or room numbers	Rooom 101 = "Room one oh one." Bus 602 = "Bus six oh two."
	in phone numbers	9130472 = "Nine one three oh four seven two."
	in years	1906 = "Nineteen oh six."
0 = nought	before a decimal point	0.06 = "Nought point oh six."
0 = zero	in temperature	-10°C = "10 degrees below zero."
	US English for the number	0 = "Zero"
0 = nil	in football	Chelsea 2 Manchester United 0 = "Chelsea two Manchester United nil."
0 = love	in tennis	20 - 0 = "Twenty love."

~ 12 ~ The number 12 is often represented as a dozen and the number 6 as a half dozen. For example: 12 eggs= "A dozen eggs." 6 eggs = "Half a dozen eggs."

~ 13 ~ A dozen is 12, but a baker's dozen is 13, because in the past bakers who were caught shortchanging customers could be liable to severe punishment, so they used to add an extra bread roll to make up the weight.

~ 100 ~ A century is 100. The roman numeral for 100 is C, for centum. One hundred is the basis of percentages (literally "per hundred"). 100% is the full amount of something.

*~ 1 billion ~ When is a billion not a billion? In British English billion traditionally means a million million = 1,000,000,000,000 = 10 ¹² In American English billion means a thousand million = 1,000,000,000 = 10 ⁹ The American billion has become standard in technical and financial use. However, to avoid confusion it is better to use the terms "thousand million" for 10 ⁹ and "million million" for 10 ¹². Milliard " is French for the number 10 ⁹. It is not used in American English but is sometimes, but rarely, used in British English.

LETTERS AS NUMBERS

~ k ~ The letter k is often used to denote a thousand. So, 1k = 1,000. If you see a job advertised and it offers a salary of £12k it means £12,000.00.

~ m ~ The letter m is often used to denote a million. So, 1m = 1,000,000. If you see a job advertised and it offers a salary of £12m, apply for it!

~ bn ~ The letters bn denote a billion. So, 1bn is usually 1,000,000,000 (see above). If you see a job advertised and it offers a salary of £12bn, it's probably a missprint.

myriad The word myriad used to mean 10,000. Nowadays it's used to refer to a countless number or multitude of specified things. For example: Earth hosts a myriad of animals.

CHINESE VAS Е

When I was a child I loved visiting my grandmother. I thought her house was as beautiful as a palace and the garden seemed bigger than a park. As I grew older the house and garden seemed smaller, but I still loved visiting the old lady. There were so many lovely things to look at in the house.

Chinese vase which stood in the hall. It was taller than me, and I couldn't see inside it. I walked round and round it looking at the beautiful ladies and the birds and flowers and trees, and Grandmother often told me stories about these ladies. She said that her grandfather had brought the vase with him when he returned from a long voyage to China'.

Broke the vase”.

Philip tried to be more diplomatic than Paul. “It doesn't really matter,

does it? You told us it wasn't new. You aren't cross, are you?”
