Listening I can understand familiar words and very
basic phrases concerning myself, my
family and immediate concrete
surroundings when people speak slowly
and clearly.
I can understand phrases and the
highest frequency vocabulary related to
areas of most immediate personal
relevance (e.g. very basic personal and
family information, shopping, local area,
employment). I can catch the main point
in short, clear, simple messages and
announcements.
I can understand the main points of
clear standard speech on familiar
matters regularly encountered in work,
school, leisure, etc. I can understand
the main point of many radio or TV
programmes on current affairs or topics
of personal or professional interest
when the delivery is relatively slow and
clear.
I can understand extended speech and
lectures and follow even complex lines
of argument provided the topic is
reasonably familiar. I can understand
most TV news and current affairs
programmes. I can understand the
majority of films in standard dialect.
I can understand extended speech even
when it is not clearly structured and
when relationships are only implied and
not signalled explicitly. I can understand
television programmes and films without
too much effort.
I have no difficulty in understanding any
kind of spoken language, whether live or
broadcast, even when delivered at fast
native speed, provided. I have some
time to get familiar with the accent.
Reading I can understand familiar names, words
and very simple sentences, for example
on notices and posters or in catalogues.
I can read very short, simple texts. I can
find specific, predictable information in
simple everyday material such as
advertisements, prospectuses, menus
and timetables and I can understand
short simple personal letters.
I can understand texts that consist
mainly of high frequency everyday or
job-related language. I can understand
the description of events, feelings and
wishes in personal letters.
I can read articles and reports
concerned with contemporary problems
in which the writers adopt particular
attitudes or viewpoints. I can understand
contemporary literary prose.
I can understand long and complex
factual and literary texts, appreciating
distinctions of style. I can understand
specialised articles and longer technical
instructions, even when they do not
relate to my field.
I can read with ease virtually all forms of
the written language, including abstract,
structurally or linguistically complex
texts such as manuals, specialised
articles and literary works.

Spoken
Interaction
I can interact in a simple way provided
the other person is prepared to repeat or
rephrase things at a slower rate of
speech and help me formulate what I'm
trying to say. I can ask and answer simple
questions in areas of immediate need or
on very familiar topics.
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
can't usually understand enough to
keep the conversation going myself.
I can deal with most situations likely to
arise whilst travelling in an area where
the language is spoken. 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,
accounting for and sustaining my views.
I can express myself fluently and
spontaneously without much obvious
searching for expressions. I can use
language flexibly and effectively for
social and professional purposes. I can
formulate ideas and opinions with
precision and relate my contribution
skilfully to those of other speakers.
I can take part effortlessly in any
conversation or discussion and have a
good familiarity with idiomatic
expressions and colloquialisms. I can
express myself fluently and convey finer
shades of meaning precisely. If I do
have a problem I can backtrack and
restructure around the difficulty so
smoothly that other people are hardly
aware of it.
Spoken
Production
I can use simple phrases and sentences
to describe where I live and people I
know.
I can use a series of phrases and
sentences to describe in simple terms
my family and other people, living
conditions, my educational background
and my present or most recent job.
I can connect phrases in a simple way
in order to describe experiences and
events, my dreams, hopes and
ambitions. I can briefly give reasons and
explanations for opinions and plans. I
can narrate a story or relate the plot of a
book or film and describe my reactions.
I can present clear, detailed descriptions
on a wide range of subjects related to
my field of interest. I can explain a
viewpoint on a topical issue giving the
advantages and disadvantages of
various options.
I can present clear, detailed descriptions
of complex subjects integrating subthemes,
developing particular points
and rounding off with an appropriate
conclusion.
I can present a clear, smoothly-flowing
description or argument in a style
appropriate to the context and with an
effective logical structure which helps
the recipient to notice and remember
significant points.

Writing I can write a short, simple postcard, for
example sending holiday greetings. I can
fill in forms with personal details, for
example entering my name, nationality
and address on a hotel registration form.
I can write short, simple notes and
messages. I can write a very simple
personal letter, for example thanking
someone for something.
I can write simple connected text on
topics which are familiar or of personal
interest. I can write 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 an essay or report,
passing on information or giving
reasons in support of or against a
particular point of view. I can write
letters highlighting the personal
significance of events and experiences.
I can express myself in clear, wellstructured
text, expressing points of
view at some length. I can write about
complex subjects in a letter, an essay or
a report, underlining what I consider to
be the salient issues. I can select a style
appropriate to the reader in mind.
I can write clear, smoothly-flowing text
in an appropriate style. I can write
complex letters, reports or articles which
present a case with an effective logical
structure which helps the recipient to
notice and remember significant points.

professional or literary works.
