• B1 – Intermediate: B1 learners produce connected text on subjects they know and can describe experiences and explain views.
• B2 – Upper Intermediate: You can understand complex texts, interact fluently with native speakers, and argue a position clearly.
• C1–C2 – Advanced to Mastery: At C1 and C2, you express yourself spontaneously, understand virtually everything, and produce complex, well-structured text.
