Content refers to basic personal background and needs, social conventions and routine tasks, such as getting meals and receiving simple instructions and directions. Misunderstandings in both main ideas and details arise frequently. Content continues to refer primarily to basic personal background and needs, social conventions and somewhat more complex tasks, such as lodging, transportation, and shopping. Additional content areas include some personal interests and activities, and a greater diversity of instructions and directions.
Understanding continues to be uneven.
Thus, while topics do not differ significantly from those of an Advanced level listener, comprehension is less in quantity and poorer in quality. This page is an extract from the LinguaLinks Library , Version 3.5, published on CD-ROM by SIL International , 1999.
