Presentational Writing

I can understand texts that consist mainly of everyday or job-related language. I can understand the description of events, feelings and wishes in texts such as personal letters.

I can understand extended speech and follow complex lines of argument provided the topic is reasonably familiar. I can understand sources such as TV news, current affairs programs, and films in standard language.

I can read texts such as articles and reports that are concerned with contemporary problems written from a particular viewpoint or perspective. I can understand contemporary literary prose.

I can deal with most situations likely to arise when speaking with native speakers not used to interacting with non-native speakers. I can enter unprepared into conversation on topics that are familiar, of personal interest, or pertinent to everyday life (e.g., family hobbies, work, travel, and current events).

I can interact with a degree of fluency and spontaneity that makes regular interaction with native speakers quite possible. I can take an active part in discussion in familiar contexts and support my views.

I can present clear, detailed descriptions on a wide range of subjects. I can explain a viewpoint on a topical issue and discuss the advantages and disadvantages of various options.

I can write simple connected texts on topics that are familiar or of personal interest, such as personal letters describing experiences and impressions.

I can write clear, detailed text on a wide range of subjects related to my interests. I can write texts such as an essay or report that conveys information or gives reasons in support of or against a particular point of view. I can write texts such as letters highlighting the personal significance of events and experiences.
