Culture box: Facts about railways
· The Trans-Siberian Railway
The Trans-Siberian Railway is the longest railway in the world. It was started in May 1891 and finished in 1916. It is about 10,000 kilometres long from Moscow to Vladivostok.
· Chinese railway facts
In 1949, there were more than 20,000 kilometres of railway lines in China, but only about 10,000 were operable, mostly in the east and northeast of the country. By 2010, there were more than 90,000 kilometres of railway, and they carried about 25 percent of the world’s total railway capacity. The Beijing-Kowloon line is the longest in China, at 2,372 kilometres long.
一、3-4位数的读法
先说“几百”，后加“and”，再加“末两位数”或“末位数”。
202读作：two hundred and two
234读作：two hundred and thirty-four
1,234读作：one thousand two hundred and thirty-four
注意: 这里的 hundred 不能加复数后缀“s”。
数词的读法
二、5位数以上的读法
汉语和英语数字表达的方式不同。汉语是个，十，百，千，万，十万，百万，千万，亿，十亿……，也就是以“十”的倍数来表示；而英语则
是在数字超过千以后，以“千”(thousand)的倍数来表达的。如“一万”是“十千”，即 ten shousand；“十万”是“百千”，即 hundred thousand，直至“百万”，million。百万以上的数字则用“百万”的倍数表达；如“千万”是“十百万”，即 ten million；“亿”是“百百万”，即 hundred million，直至“十亿”，billion。 所以英文表达数字时可以从右往左，三位一逗号，逗号从右往左分别对应的是：thousand, million, billion, etc。
例如：1207210472，可以先处理成1,207,210,472，这样这个数字用英文完整的读作：one billion two hundred and seven million two hundred and ten thousand four hundred and seven-two.
注意: 这里的 thousand, million, billion 的后面也不能加复数后缀“s”。
9. Work in groups. Make a holiday plan for a family trip to a city in China.

10. Work in groups. Choose the best plan.
· Use your notes to compare the different plans, and decide which one is the best.
I think the trip to Shanghai by train is better because the journey is shorter and there are a lot of interesting places to visit in Shanghai.
I think the trip to Beijing by train is better because the journey is slower and it is also very enjoyable to see the beautiful scenery on the way to Beijing.
