Cultura THE ENGLISH CORNER DIEGE ZARAGOZA sional fields are handled effectively, and the candidates can convey and understand abstract concepts in topics such as defense and security, economics, science or technology. The ACCURACY (that is to say, the quality or acceptability of the use of language) is really high at this level. However, some flaws may occur, mainly when using highly complex structures or formal style. These errors seldom disturb a native audience, or distort the meaning.
