Prüfung: Formelle E-Mail & Pressetexte

The exam tasks behind this unit, the same in the Goethe-Zertifikat B1 and the ÖSD Zertifikat B1 (ZB1):

  • Schreiben Aufgabe 3: a formal e-mail of circa 40 Wörter, for example to your course leader: you can’t come, you apologize and give a reason. It’s worth 20 points, and about 15 minutes is a good plan. The task reminds you: Vergessen Sie nicht die Anrede und den Gruß am Schluss.
  • Lesen Teil 2: two Pressetexte with 6 Multiple-Choice items (a/b/c). Plan about 20 minutes.

Checkpoint: work through Schreiben Aufgabe 3 and Lesen Teil 2 in the official Modellsatz on the Goethe-Institut or ÖSD website. Build your e-mail from this unit’s Redemittel: Anrede, Leider kann ich …, a reason with weil or wegen, a suggestion, Gruß.

Tip

In Lesen Teil 2, an option that repeats words from the text isn't automatically right. Check what the text really says about them.
