## Gaining information

I can satisfactorily read and understand straightforward, factual texts on subjects relating to my own interests or to school subjects, such as geography. I can understand short texts on topical subjects or familiar subjects in which people give their opinions, assessment, points of view (for example critical contributions to a discussion forum on the Internet or readers’ letters to the editor). I can recognize the important points in straightforward newspaper articles on familiar subjects.
