Goethe-Zertifikat B1 · Hören · Teil 4
Eine Radiodiskussion mit einer Moderation und zwei Gästen, zweimal gehört: Wer sagt was? Auch die Moderation kann die Lösung sein.
A radio discussion with a presenter and two guests who see an everyday question differently (“Should dogs be allowed in cafés?”); their names and roles are printed in the task. The recording runs about five to six minutes and is played twice, after 60 seconds of reading time. For eight statements — plus a solved example that does not count — you choose who says it: a the presenter, b the first guest, c the second. The presenter is the answer once or twice, each guest three or four times. Teil 4 is eight of the 30 items, about 27 of the 100 points.
Spend the 60 seconds on a sheet with three columns, M, G1 and G2. Under each guest write name, role and a guess: Frau Lindner, café owner — hygiene, allergies, other customers? — probably against; Herr Brandt, dog owner — the dog is family — probably for. Then note beside each statement whom it probably belongs to. It is only a guess from the role, but it tells you what to wait for, and you notice when a statement does not fit.
The statements are built so that the role is not enough. A guest may mention an argument in order to reject it: if Herr Brandt said his dog disturbs nobody and Frau Lindner answers “That may be, but I have customers who are afraid of dogs”, “A dog does not disturb other customers” is Herr Brandt's; hers is what comes after the “but”. And a presenter who only repeats — “So you mean dogs belong to the family?” — is not the answer; the guest who says “exactly” is. On the first hearing tick what you are sure of and mark the rest; spend the second on the marked ones.
Twice, after 60 seconds of reading time that is part of the recording and cannot be extended. Teil 1 is also played twice; Teil 2 and Teil 3 once. Use the reading time for the guests' names and roles and for the eight statements.
Usually the presenter is the answer once or twice and each guest three or four times. Use that only as a final check, not to even things out: if you have given one guest five statements, look again at the least certain of them.
Eight of the 30 items, about 27 of the 100 points; only Teil 1 has more. Hören is passed with 60 points, which is 18 correct of 30 across all four Teile, and wrong answers cost nothing.
