GENERAL OBJECTIVES
Oral comprehension
I have no difficulty understanding any type of spoken language, both in live conversations and in broadcast speeches, even if they occur at a native speaker speed, provided I have time to familiarize myself with the accent.
Reading comprehension
I am able to easily read virtually all forms of written language, including structurally or linguistically complex abstract texts, such as manuals, specialized articles and literary works.
Oral interaction
I take part effortlessly in any conversation or debate, and I know idioms, phrases and colloquial expressions well. I express myself with fluidity and transmit subtle nuances of meaning with precision. If I have a problem, I draw the difficulty with such discretion that others barely notice.
Speaking
I present descriptions or arguments clearly and fluently, and with a style that is appropriate to the context, and with a logical and effective structure that helps the listener to look at important ideas and remember them.
Writting
I am able to write clear and fluid texts in an appropriate style. I can write letters, reports or complex articles that present arguments with a logical and effective structure that helps the listener to look at important ideas and remember them. I write summaries and reviews of professional or literary works.
