Having troubles with numbers / dates in English Do you ever hear numbers / dates on the TV or on the radio and try to make them clear in your mind ? This is what happens to me oftenly. Because of that, I always miss the following part of the sentence because I try to catch the number. I'm so bad at it. Yet I know them! >> In most oral exams it's required to listen to a recording and fill in blanks with data which can be numbers/ percentage... I do not know how to solve it!
