Goethe-Zertifikat B1 · Lesen · Teil 3
Zu jeder Situation suchen Sie die passende Anzeige a–j. Jede Anzeige passt höchstens einmal, und für eine Situation gibt es keine Anzeige – dann wählen Sie 0.
Seven people are looking for something — a course, a flat, a doctor's practice, a leisure activity — and you find each one's ad among ten short ads, a to j, from German-language media. Each ad is about 25–50 words and telegraphic: keywords, times, prices, a web address. A situation gives a wish and one or two conditions. The sums do not work out, on purpose: one ad is used in the example and every ad counts at most once, so six situations get an ad, three ads stay unused and one situation has no ad at all — you write 0. Ten minutes are recommended.
The trap is an ad that fits the topic and fails on a condition. Herr Wagner works shifts and can only come in the mornings; he wants to practise speaking German. One ad offers a Konversationskurs, Tuesday and Thursday 18.30–20.00 Uhr; another a Sprachcafé, Wednesday 9.30–11.00 Uhr, free. The first has the topic and fails on one condition: it runs in the evening. Without the second ad, Herr Wagner would be your 0 — that is the shape of the ad beside the situation without a solution, nearly right and wrong on one point. Conditions come as days, times, age groups, places, online or in person, free or with registration.
Underline the conditions in all seven situations first, then check every ad against each condition, not just the topic. Give the ones you are sure of first, note which ads are taken, and choose for the hard ones from fewer ads. You do not have to look for the 0: it is the situation that is left when every remaining ad fails on a condition.
Not in this task: every ad is used at most once. If one seems to fit two situations, check both again — for one of them only the topic fits, not the time, the place or the target group.
Seven of 30 items, about 23 of 100 points. Lesen is passed with 60 points, which is 18 of 30 right answers across all five Teile — and 0 counts as a normal right answer when a situation has no ad.
