(2) present information about themselves and on some other very familiar topics (family, hometown, likes and dislikes in food, etc.) using a variety of words, phrases, and memorized expressions.
(3) recognize familiar words and phrases when they are spoken and comprehend the general idea of simple spoken messages.
