Goethe-Zertifikat B2 · Hören · Teil 3
Hören Sie eine Diskussion und entscheiden Sie, wer welche Aussage macht.
A radio discussion between three people — a presenter and two guests with deliberately contrasting positions — and six statements to attribute: who said this? Sixty seconds of reading time, and the recording plays once.
The difficulty is not vocabulary but bookkeeping. Two speakers will raise the same subject and only one will take the position the statement describes, so hearing the topic is useless; you have to hold who is saying what. Losing track of which guest is speaking is how this Teil is failed.
The presenter is among the options and is almost never the answer beyond the worked example — they ask and summarise rather than take positions. Use the sixty seconds to fix the two guests' roles in your head, because their situations (a student and a pensioner, say) predict their positions far better than any single phrase will.
Effectively no, beyond the worked example. Their job in the recording is to introduce, ask and sum up; the evaluative statements the items describe come from the two guests.
Fix the speakers' roles during the sixty seconds of reading time — their age, job or situation is usually given — and listen for position rather than topic. Both guests will discuss the same subjects; only one takes the stance each statement describes.
