Is one sentence per Folie enough?

Usually not. Erfüllung looks at content and extent for every Folie, and the description of a C includes all five Folien handled too briefly. For about three minutes, two or three sentences each, a little more for Folie 4, is a sensible target.

Who asks the questions in Teil 3?

Your partner asks one question about your presentation and one of the examiners asks another. In the rare individual exam, which takes about ten minutes, only the examiner asks.

Goethe B1 Sprechen Teil 2: five Folien, three minutes, then Teil 3

You choose one of two topics and speak for about three minutes, following five Folien in a fixed order: introduce the topic and the structure; a situation of your own; the situation at home, with examples; advantages, disadvantages and your opinion; closing and thanks. Teil 2 is worth 40 points and Teil 3 another 16. Erfüllung counts the Folien you handle properly: five is an A (12 points), three or four a B (9), two a C (6). The last Folie takes seconds, yet dropping it costs three points. A rough split: 20 seconds, 40, 40, 60 and 15.

Give each Folie a few short sentences and an example; Folie 3 in particular wants one, not a claim. For a made-up topic, “Anrufen oder lieber schreiben?”, Folie 2 could be “Mit meiner Mutter telefoniere ich jeden Sonntag, mit Freunden schreibe ich fast täglich.” and Folie 4 “Ein Vorteil vom Anrufen ist, dass ich sofort eine Antwort bekomme. Ein Nachteil ist, dass ich vielleicht störe.” Open each Folie with a signpost sentence, because those links are what Kohärenz rewards. In the 15 minutes of preparation, shared with Teil 1, write 1 to 5 and two or three keywords beside each number, never sentences.

Teil 3 is listening work: after your partner's talk you give a short Rückmeldung (what you liked, what was new) and ask one question, for detail, for a comparison with your own life or for advice. About your own talk, your partner and an examiner each ask a question, and you answer in two or three sentences with a reason. Felix, our AI examiner, marks the transcript against these criteria; he leaves out Aussprache, and his result is an estimate.
