11.2 Listening

Strategy: Listen for Statistics

  • Statistics are facts with numbers.
  • Speakers often give statistics to support their ideas.
  • When you hear a number, write it down.
  • Also write other information about the number so you remember what that number means!

Example:

HEAR:     “According to one survey, 63% of people said they were making plans to travel internationally in 2022.”

WRITE:   63%  travel int’l 2022

Listening Practice

Listen and take notes. Remember to write numbers!
