  2. Introduction • In recording an English figure, its three digits make one subsection, while in Chinese, its four digits make one subsection. In English relevant figures have to be converted on the basis of “thousand”, “million” and “billion”, whereas in Chinese, they have to be converted on the basis of “万”、“亿”、“万亿”.

  3. Basic Technique for Interpreting Figures • 点三杠四法 英文数字: 逗点从右至左每三位一点; 汉语数字: 以斜杠从右自左每四位一划; • 缺位补零法 某些数位为零时,零数位的要及时补零。

  4. Memorize these conversions • 1万=ten thousand • 10万=one hundred thousand • 100万=one million • 1000万=ten million • 1亿=one hundred million • 10亿=one billion • 1万亿= one trillion

Fractions with the numerator of which is not one 3/4 3/5 9/10 3/1000 3). Fractions with big numerators and denominators 53/79 95/26 (over)

  10. Interpreting Decimals and Percentages 1). Interpreting a decimal smaller than “1” 0.8 0.323 0.0009% zero/naught 2). Interpreting numbers with both whole numbers and decimal fractions 9.007 98.53% 3).
