Regarding the pragmatic component of communicative competence, high-school

graduates at the B1 level will be able to:

 Adapt their expression to deal with less routine, even difficult situations

 Exploit a wide range of simple language flexibly to express much of what
they want

 Intervene in a discussion on a familiar topic using a suitable phrase to get the

 Initiate, maintain, and close simple face-to-face conversation on topics that

understand the main point of many radio or television programs on topics of personal or

professional interest.

Reading: Understand texts that consist mainly of high-frequency, everyday language and
understand the description of events, feelings, and wishes in personal letters.

Speaking: Deal with most situations likely to arise while travelling in an area where the

and events, dreams, hopes, and ambitions. Moreover, give brief reasons and explanations for
opinions and plans.

Writing: To write simple connected text on topics which are familiar or of personal interest

and write personal letters describing experiences and impressions.
