1. Download the Powerpoint file on "measure/unit words"  here .
     View the file and read the words 5 times. 

2. Money talking--learn how to say money amount in Chinese.

    錢 qian2 : money
    元 yuan2 / 塊 kuai4 : dollar
    毛 mao2 : ten cents
    分 fen1 : cent


    $9.00 = 九元；九塊錢
    $18.20 = 十八元兩毛；十八塊兩毛；十八塊二毛
    $4.16 = 四塊一毛六（分）
    $7.50 = 七塊半 （Don't say "七元半")
    $21.03 = 二十一塊三分


3. Writing exercise:  Pick up words from the handout sheet and make 6 sentences in the following pattern:   (Don't repeat food name, unit word, or price.)
      

food item + unit word + unit price

    Ex. 蘋果 三個 四元三毛九  （This means: "The price for apples is three for $4.39." )

    Ex. 香蕉 一根 六毛五   （The banana is $0.65 each.)

    Ex. 雞蛋 一個 五毛錢   （The egg is 50 cents each. )
