Trinity Grade 5 communicative skills and language requirements have been mapped to B1.1 on the CEFR.
At Grade 5 candidates talk about subjects of general interest — festivals and means of transport — as well as their own personal experiences. Candidates can talk more about their likes and dislikes, by expressing preferences and giving reasons. The grammar used to talk about the topics is expanded and includes the present perfect tense to refer to events in the indefinite and recent past, contrasted with the past simple when talking about specific times. At Grade 5 the candidate asks the examiner questions to find out more about them.
