What's my level of English?

(Para português, clique aqui) 

A question a lot of students ask: 
"What's my level of English?"

A very important thing to do before a student who's already studied before starts a new course of English is a language assessment. It consists of an evaluation done by a teacher to determine what level of English that person is already at. In Brazil, there are huge discrepancies in the results provided by that process because, unfortunately, there aren't a standards schools and teachers have to follow. Worldwide, however, we have something called CEFR (Common European Framework Reference), which separates users of the language into levels from A to C, with C2 being the highest.
