You understand a lot when people speak slowly and clearly
and can take messages on the phone when the subject matter
is familiar to you. You may still have problems if people speak
fast or if the subject matter is unfamiliar to you. You feel
nervous in some business situations - in some meetings, or
taking telephone calls for example. You understand standard
business communication and product descriptions.
|
You manage standard business communication, can make appointments
and reservations and can report on standard business situations
- your company, products, work processes and activities, for
example. You may feel nervous and find it difficult when taking
an active part in meetings and discussions. You can write short
simple sentences and can give short messages in email and faxes. |

You understand detailed information in presentations, meetings
and negotiations. Understanding messages in business situations
is not a problem and you do not really feel nervous about this.
You may still have problems when people speak with unfamiliar
accents. You understand the general sense of most business
texts and newspaper articles.
|
You can communicate in most business and social situations
and can clarify misunderstandings to some extent. You can explain
the details of work projects and participate actively in presentations
and negotiations. There may still be some occasions when you
feel nervous about active participation and you feel you cannot
always say exactly what you want to say. You know that you
still make some mistakes. You can write more complicated correspondence
- answering complaints, for example - and short reports. You
are probably unsure whether your writing is accurate or not.

a native speaker giving a complex presentation. You understand
complex business literature and have few problems understanding
details in newspaper articles.

and you use a wide range of expressions. You can react quickly
in unexpected or difficult situations and you have no problems
taking active part in meetings and negotiations. However, you
think you still make some noticeable mistakes. You can write
all kinds of correspondence and can write detailed reports.
However, you are not always sure if your writing is accurate.

You understand everything you hear in English. You probably
hear a lot of English in your job and / or you like English
and make an effort to watch films in English or to listen to
English radio. Sometimes, you cannot remember whether you heard
something in English or in your mother tongue. Maybe you get
frustrated when dealing with people who have a low level of
English and you do not understand the reasons for their mistakes.
You understand the details of everything you need to read for
your job and you maybe read English novels or newspapers in
your free time.
|
You use an extensive range of English and you feel that you
can say everything that you want and need to say. Your English
is suitable for all business occasions and maybe you feel comfortable
interpreting between your own language and English. You take
an active part in meetings and negotiations and you can give
complex and difficult messages in presentations. You may feel
that you still have some minor problems and you would like
opportunity to work on these. You can write all kinds of correspondence
and reports and you are fairly confident that your writing
is well-structured and accurate.
