How to write Numbers in IELTS:
Numbers play an important role in the
English language and in your IELTS test.
As you prepare for your IELTS test, it’s a
good idea to work on using numbers in
different ways across each of your skills-
Reading, Writing, Speaking and Listening.
Use these strategies to better understand
numbers and how you should use them
on test day.
Currency:
The two most commonly used types
of currency in IELTS are Dollars ($) and
Pounds ( ).You can choose to write
currency as:
Words (e.g ‘dollars’ or ‘pounds’
currency symbols (e.g $ or )
When listening to quantities, numbers may be
pronounced in various ways. A helpful suggestion
is to write down the actual numeral you hear
instead of writing the entire word. For example:
$4.50 = Four dollars and fifty cents
4.50 = Four pond and fifty pence
Measurements:
ou may hear different measurements in your test.
For example, you might hear measurements as;
Centimeters
Kilometers
Kilograms
You can abbreviate the word when writing these
measurements as numbers. For example, you can
write 60 kilometers as;
sixty kilometers 60 kilometers
60 km 60 kms
Dates:
Dates can be written in a variety of ways. You can
use the number or word form, as well as abbreviate
days of the week or months of the years.
For example;
March 5th 5th of Mar
Mar 5th 03/05
Be careful with ordinal numbers. Most ordinal
numbers end with ‘th’ except for;
1st (first) 2nd (second) 3rd (third)
For example, if you write ‘2th’ this will be marked as
incorrect as the correct format in “2nd”.
Time:
Times can be written in a number of ways, but it is
generally written in the same way. When writing time,
make sure you know what quarter past, quarter to,
and half past mean. For example;
6:50 Six forty-five OR Quarter to seven
6:15 Six fifteen OR Quarter past six
6:30 Six thirty OR Half past six
Telephone/Credit card:
There are a few things to remember with a sequence of
numbers, especially in telephone or credit card numbers.
A 0(zero) can sometimes be called ‘O’ like the letter.
Also, the same number twice or three times in a row
may be referred to as double or triple.
For example;
7762 Double seven six two
3338 Triple three eight
0396 ‘O’ three nine six
