Goethe-Zertifikat B1 · Schreiben · Teil 2
Beiträge für das Gästebuch einer Fernsehsendung: jemand hat seine Meinung geschrieben, Sie antworten mit Ihrer eigenen und begründen sie. Circa 80 Wörter, ohne Anrede.
Aufgabe 2 shows you a Gästebuch entry from a television discussion — 40 to 60 words, with the writer’s name and the time — and asks for your own opinion in about 80 words. It is worth 40 points, with 25 minutes recommended. There is no Anrede and no Gruß: a guest book is not a letter. Erfüllung asks whether your opinion is appropriate in content and in length.
The trap is the essay. A text that begins “Sunday opening is a topic many people discuss” never answers the entry it sits under. Start with the person instead: “Marlene schreibt, dass sie samstags eine Stunde an der Kasse steht. Das kenne ich auch, und trotzdem bin ich gegen offene Geschäfte am Sonntag.” In two sentences the reader knows whom you answer, what you think, and that a reason is coming. In 80 words there is room for one reason with one example — a sister in a bakery who has only every second Sunday off — not for three reasons of half a sentence each.
You may agree, disagree, or concede first and then disagree; the task wants your opinion, not a particular one. Under 40 words the task scores zero. Felix, our AI examiner, marks the text on the four criteria and gives an estimate, not an official mark. The full marking comes with a pass, and an account with a confirmed e-mail address gets one preview per module.
No. You can agree, disagree, or start with “Das stimmt, aber …”. After two sentences it should be clear what you think, and a reason has to follow; repeating what the entry says is not yet an opinion.
No Anrede and no Gruß. Those belong to Aufgabe 1 and 3, where you write to a particular person. A Gästebuch entry is read by everyone and starts straight with your reply.
