So 421 6759 is four-two-one, six-seven-five-nine. The ‘0’ is pronoiincéd ‘oh’: 081.436 0872 is oh-vight-one, Jfour-three-six, oh-eight-seven-two, These. numbers are in, groups. The groups are codes for areas in Britain. When we say the numibers, we pause between the groups. How- ever, when the same number occurs twice the word ‘double’ is used with the number. 1994422 is one’ double-nine, double-fout, double-two.’ Listen to’ some dialogues between: a,caller.on.the phone-and a secretary.

Now let’s turn to the figures for: some ‘of Britain's largest ‘urban areas. Greater London, the first city in the list, has an area of 1 |,580-square kilometres. It also has a large population of 6,7 .735.4 thousand in 1988. Birmingham in the English Midlands is 264 ‘square kilometres in area with a population: of 993.7 thousand. Leeds, the largest city in the noith of Erigland, is 562 square kilometres with a Population of 709.6 thousand, The industrial Scottish tovin of Glasgow, Wwith an aréa of 198 square kilometres, had a surprisingly high pOpillatidn of 703.2. thousand. Edinbuigh, Scotland’s capital, with an area of 361 square kilomettes, has a population of 433.5 thiolisand. Manchester is 116 square kilometres with a popilétion of 445.9 thousand. Bristol on the southwest of England is 110 square kilometres with’a population of 377.7 thousand. In the Midlands, Coventry is the smallest city in this list: It's 97 square kilometres with a population of only 306.2 thousand. In 1985, there were 6,261 full-time undergraduate students with 3,472 men and 2,742 women at the, university. ‘The distribution of these. stusients wag. as follows.s u ‘ From 1975 ro 1985, the percentage of households with one car. decreased. slightly from 46.4% in 1975 to 45.2% in 1985. However, the percentage of households with two or more cars rose quting this period, It is perhaps surprising that more households had television than a washing-machine. In fact, the percentage of hougcholds witha television was over 90% throughout the ten years, There was a steady rise in the percentage of homes with central heating from 30% in 1975 £0 60% in 1985. The percentage of households with a telephone showed'a. steep increase from 51.9% in 1975 to 80.5% in 1985, The number of UK households with home computers showed a large jump, from only 2.5% in 1975 to, 12.69% in_1985, ‘One of the most noticeable features of this report isthe addition of figures for video recorders. 30% of British homes had ‘video recorders, in, 1985. Tt seems likely that both video recorders and home computers will become more common in homes in the UK in the future, Lisi hig AGiVTY No Good morning, I'd like this morning to continue our discussion about British trade, and | have brought a couple of pie charts that Id like you to look at.
