1. Understand spoken communication of a familiar variety, live or broadcast, on both familiar and unfamiliar topics normally encountered in personal, social, academic, or vocational life
2. Read with a large degree of independence, adapting style and speed of reading to different texts and purposes, and using appropriate reference sources selectively, incorporating a broad active reading vocabulary
3. Give oral representation of clear, systematically developed descriptions and presentations, with appropriate highlighting of significant points, and relevant supporting detail
