Teil 2 Über ein Thema sprechen

You and your partner are given short (2-3 sentences) of an opinion/statement about the same theme. You each have DIFFERENT opinions/statements.

You need to summarize what the text said, then agree or disagree with it. State your reasoning, sprinkle a bit of personal experience too. Then you talk with your partner about both of your opinions and situations.

Sentence starters:

These sentence templates can be used to help you automate your sentences. This way you can slap in any word for the topic, and it still makes sense. No more need to freeze on the test, when you don’t know what to say!

Eigene Meinung:

These sentences separate and clearly show opinion and reason. Exactly what we need to show for B1 exam. Nothing fancy.

X = Thema / Wert / Idee

Y = Grund / Erklärung

Zustimmen:

These sentences allow you to agree to your partner’s opinion, and expand on it.

Nachfragen:

After you state your opinion, it is important to keep the conversation going. You ask your partner how they think about what you just said.

You can mix and match most of these Haupt- and Nebensatz together and it will work.
