They will develop the ability to articulate expressions in a simple way describing experiences and events, dreams, desires and ambitions, as well as explaining or justifying opinions and plans, and telling a story, relating the plot of a book or film and describing reactions. With regard to writing, they will develop vocabulary, grammar and kanji characters to describe a text articulating in a simple way about subjects they know or are interested in, and write personal letters to describe experiences and impressions.
