Listening for years
Be careful when listening for years: it is normal to treat the first two numbers and the last two numbers separately, but there are various ways of saying them. In general, speakers try to use the shortest way possible, for example, 1979 (nineteen seventy-nine), 2003 (two thousand and three), 1805 (eighteen o five). Sometimes we add mid-before a certain year, e.g. mid-2008. We also use expressions like the early/late 1980s.
Read or translate the following time:
2021
1983
2005
1609
2009年中期
20世纪80年代早期
18世纪50年代晚期

Report on Internet use
When the Internet was invented in 1969, no one could have known just how much it would change the world. The world’s first website was not built until 21 year later. Now there are more than 1 billion websites online.

There have been great changes in the way people use the Internet. The Internet has become more and more important and is now used for a greater variety of activities. It seems more people trust Internet security, as they are more likely to shop online make online payments now than in the past. Both these activities saw big increases, from 38% to 63% and 32% to 65% respectively. The biggest change in the past five years is the increase in people making travel bookings online. This increased from less than 10% to more than 40%. Also, the popularity of mobile Internet use has grown dramatically in the past five years. Moreover, it seems that people of all ages have taken to the Internet. Around 21% of users are now aged 40 or over, compared to 17% five years ago. The number of users under 20 has also gone up.
