Reading includes stories, articles, and instructions, while writing develops into opinion texts, short reports, and formal or informal emails with clear paragraph structure. Grammar includes perfect tenses, conditionals, reported speech, and more complex sentence forms. Vocabulary and pronunciation become more natural and accurate.
