Les niveaux de connaissance en langue ont été classés et définis par le Conseil de l'Europe. Cette norme européenne, appelée cadre européen commun de référence, est acceptée et reconnue dans tous les pays de l'Union Européenne. Elle détermine précisément les compétences que doit posséder l'apprenant pour communiquer dans certains contextes.
Notting Hill is a part of London. Every year at the end of August there is a very big street carnival. The carnival lasts two days. There is a very big Afro-Caribbean community in Notting Hill and these people started the Carnival. The first Carnival was in 1964. It was a children's street party with Caribbean steel bands. Now the Carnival is enormous and very popular. Nearly 2 million people go to the Carnival every year.
The first day of the Carnival is for children. Seventy-five costumed bands and decorated floats follow a three-mile route through Notting Hill. The second day is for adults. Everyone is welcome to this multi-racial event.
