Neuigkeiten aus Freiburg

Liebe Jana,

vielen Dank für deine lange E-Mail und die schönen Fotos von deiner Reise! Entschuldige bitte, dass ich erst heute antworte, aber bei uns war in den letzten Wochen sehr viel los.

Wie du weißt, wir im August nach Freiburg umgezogen. Die Wohnung, wir jetzt wohnen, ist nicht sehr groß, hat sie einen schönen Balkon mit Blick auf die Berge. ich schon zwei Monate hier lebe, kenne ich noch nicht viele Leute. Darum habe ich mich vor einem Monat für einen Kochkurs an der Volkshochschule angemeldet. Die anderen Teilnehmer sind sehr nett, und nach dem Kurs gehen wir oft noch zusammen etwas trinken.

Außerdem fahre ich jetzt jeden Morgen mit dem Fahrrad zur Arbeit. Kannst du das vorstellen? Früher bin ich ja fast nie Rad gefahren! Am Wochenende gehen wir oft wandern, das Wetter schön ist.

Im November habe ich zwei Wochen Urlaub. Es toll, wenn du uns dann besuchen könntest! Wir könnten zusammen Schwarzwald fahren und uns dort ein paar alte Dörfer ansehen. Mein Urlaub beginnt allerdings erst am 12. November, kommst du am besten auch erst an diesem Tag.

Schreib mir bald, ob du Zeit hast!

Viele liebe Grüße deine Marta

Questions about this practice task

Is this the official telc Deutsch B1 test?

No. It is an original text written by Words on Repeat in the shape of the task: the same length, number of questions and kind of options. The official model papers are on the exam’s own website, linked on this page.

How is this task marked in telc Deutsch B1?

In the exam, Sprachbausteine part 1 gives 15 points, 1.5 per gap. The written exam (reading, Sprachbausteine, listening and writing) has 225 points and you need 135 of them, so every gap counts.

Why is there only one free text?

One text in the real shape is enough to see what the task asks and how you do. It stays free and the same for everyone. Full practice papers, timed and marked, are what Exam Kit Plus is being built for.

How do I practise the other tasks?

The official model paper covers every task once. The kit trains the words, connectors and grammar the papers test, with timed drills in the shape of the exam tasks.

What is the difference between the Exam Kit and Exam Kit Plus?

The Exam Kit teaches the words and phrases your exam expects: vocabulary by exam topic, writing and speaking phrases, connectors and grammar, with drills, short timed drills and a daily plan to your exam date. It does not include full practice papers. Exam Kit Plus, which we are preparing, adds the rehearsal: full reading and listening papers in the shape of your exam, timed and marked, model answers and writing checks. Plus has no date yet; on the Exams page you can ask to be told once when it is ready.

What will Exam Kit Plus contain, and when?

Full practice papers in the shape of the exam, timed and marked per task, with every missed item sent back to your study, plus model answers and writing checks. There is no date yet: leave your e-mail on this page to hear once when it is ready.
