You can understand the main points when listening to familiar topics that you regularly encounter at work, school, leisure, etc. when these are clearly spoken and pronounced in a standard dialect. You can understand the main points of many radio or TV programmes on current affairs or topics of personal or professional interest, when speakers speak relatively slowly and clearly.

Conversations and speaking

You can handle most situations that you come across when travelling in an area where the target language is spoken. You can participate in conversations on familiar topics or topics of personal interest or related to everyday life without preparation (e.g. family, hobbies, work, travel and current events).

You can connect expressions in a simple way to describe experiences and events, dreams, hopes and ambitions. You can briefly give reasons and explanations for your opinions and plans. You can tell a story, or describe the plot of a book or film and describe your reactions.
