2 - Two 10 - Ten 18 - Eighteen 60 - Sixty
3 - Three 11 - Eleven 19 - Nineteen 70 - Seventy

● What is your phone number?” is the most common way of


asking for this information.
● We answer by saying “It’s” + the number.
● The numbers are spoken individually, so 362 1256 would be sound
like this: “three six two one two five six”.
● When talking about phone numbers, the number zero is
sometimes pronounced as /ou/ like the letter “o”. Example: 378
9030 would be “three seven eight nine /ou/ three /ou/”
● When numbers repeat, we use double. Example: 223 5766 would
be “double two three five seven double six”
● We can also use triple, like this: 777 1325 - “triple seven one three
two five”.
5. GIVING YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS

E.g.: “My email address is [email protected].”


You may have to spell the email address:

● @ - at
● _ - underscore
● . - dot
● - - dash

6. GIVING YOUR HOME ADDRESS

We follow the order: building number, street, unit number, city,


state/province, postal code, and possibly country. For example:

🚩 20 Baker Street, Apartment 3, New York City, New York, 1234-567,


United States.

LESSON 04: SMALL TALK!
Take a look at this conversation below:

A: Hey Mary, how are you?


B: I’m good, Susan, what about you?
A: I’m great, thank you. How’s work today?
B: Busy! I have to finish a big report today. And you, how’s your day?
A: Busy as well, I’m taking a break at the moment but I’ll get back to
work in 20 minutes.

This is an example of small talk! Uma small talk é qualquer conversa


sobre tópicos triviais e muito comum no dia a dia. É importante que
saibamos socializar em inglês e saber como manter uma conversa com
outras pessoas. You can talk about:

➔ Entertainment (movies, sports etc)


➔ Current events
➔ Your day
➔ Work

Try to use open-ended questions (open-ended questions são


perguntas em que a resposta não é de “sim” ou “não”, fazendo com
que a interação seja maior). You need to listen and ask questions so the
other person can talk more, such as:

○ What about you, what do you think about this?


○ And how was your day?
○ Where did you watch the game yesterday?

Here are some conversation starters for you to try:

● Weather - Beautiful day, isn’t it? / It’s so cold today!


● Entertainment - Did you watch the game yesterday? / What have
you been watching lately?
● Personal life - Any plans for the weekend?
● Work - How are things at work?

● “What have you been doing?” - Would Avril Lavigne Get a Tattoo of
Her Boyfriend's Name?
● “Where have you been?” -

● “What are you up to?” - Friends

personal.
