5. Mastering finances and AN codes

Password

Before concluding this module, we will carry out some ORAL CONTESTS where everyone can take part in, consolidate

 what has been learnt and have fun: all three in one!

The first of these contests is based on the popular game ‘Password’ that you probably know from TV. The fastest

person in saying the correct word starting by a specific letter, after having read/listened to its definition or clue, gets

one point. 

.

Let it be clear that all the words are inside this module and related to this topic and that some alphabet letters have

been withdrawn, not existing key words here starting by them.

.

We will do this orally and different volunteers will take turns in writing the word said aloud by the contestant.

TIP: To do your best, have a quick review of this module and focus on those important words.

AN Codes: Spelling time!

Spelling Bee
U.S. Embassy Ghana. 2020 Ghana Spelling Bee Grand Finale 1 (Public Domain)

Does AN make sense to you? It stands for 'Alphanumeric' and it refers to those expressions made of both letters and

numbers. You find AN codes in passwords, as they are harder to decipher for hackers. You find them in car plates too,

and this is what we are going to focus on right now, more concretely, in British car plates.

With this task we will understand how UK plates are formed and we will practice spelling, concluding with a Spelling

Bee Contest, the fastest speller being the winner.

.

Let's see how a British car plate is displayed:

British_car_registration_plate_labels-GB-EU
Cnbrb. British_car_registration_plate_labels-GB-EU (Public Domain)



Now, try to spell this plate with a partner. Review the alphabet in the website below in case of hesitation on the

pronunciation of some letters: English alphabet

.

After that, you must guess where the car plate area code BD belongs to. You will find some help here:

 https://www.car.co.uk/media/guides/number-plates/uk-number-plate-area-codes

.

Next,  practice with your partner these other car plates and discover the area code of each of them:

Car plates

Finally, create with our partner possible British car plates using valid area codes and inventing both the age

identifyer and the random letters. Practice and get ready for the contest. Remember that you need to spell as

fast as possible to be a good speller!

You can also locate those areas on a map. Go back to CLIL - Geography - UK module for refreshing how to achieve this!!!
