Presentational Writing

I can understand phrases and commonly-used vocabulary related to areas of personal relevance (e.g., basic personal and family information, shopping, the local area, employment). I can catch the main point in short, simple messages and announcements.

I can read very short, simple texts. I can find specific, predictable information in simple everyday material such as advertisements, menus, schedules, and simple personal letters.

I can communicate in simple and routine tasks requiring a simple and direct exchange of information on familiar topics and activities. I can handle very short social exchanges, even though I cannot usually understand enough to keep the conversation going myself.

I can use a series of phrases and sentences to describe in simple terms a variety of things such as my family and other people, living conditions, my educational background, and my present or most recent job.

I can write short, simple notes and messages. I can write a very simple personal letter, for example, in which I thank someone for something.
