Students are taught to understand standard spoken language, which is heard live through media on personal and public

detailed texts on various topics, to write about complicated issues in letters and reports, to emphasise the most important
phenomena, to single out specific aspects, making adequate conclusions; to express own thoughts in clear and well
structured texts and to thoroughly substantiate own attitude.
