• Students can recognise and understand quotidian texts (invitations, entertainment guides, advertisements, notices, timetables, letters/e-mails and conversations) in order to use them purposefully (respond to invitations, support and compare opinions, suggest a course of action). – Can use knowledge of the world and clues (illustrations, headlines, format) to make predictions about the texts. – Can identify the overall message and some details (preferences, invitations) in order to complete/ expand a gapped text and/or respond to a conversation. – Can infer age, sex and feelings of others. – Can relate personal preferences described in a text to own experience. • Students can recognise and understand short literary texts (rhymes, riddles and/or fragments of stories) in order to comment on the feelings generated by them.
