Schreiben Sie eine E-Mail (circa 50 Wörter).
Schreiben Sie zu allen drei Punkten.
Denken Sie an Anrede und Gruß.
Sample answer with typical errors, underlined
Liebe Frau Novak,
natürlich gieße ich gern Ihre Blumen. Ich komme am Sonntagabend Error: zu Sie und hole Error: der Schlüssel ab.
Wenn Sie wollen, Error: ich nehme auch die Post aus dem Briefkasten. Gute Reise und viele Grüße an Ihre Tochter!
Viele Grüße
Mira
How it is marked
The example feedback follows what the task asks for: something on every point, the form of an e-mail to a neighbour and language that is easy to follow. In the exam Schreiben gives 20 points, and you need at least 10.
- Die drei Punkte der AufgabeWhether each of the three points gets an answer.
- Form und TonGreeting, sign-off and a polite tone towards a neighbour.
- SpracheWord order, forms and words: is the meaning clear?
Feedback on the sample answer Example
Works: All three points are there: you will water the plants, you will come on Sunday evening, and you offer to collect the post.
Costs points: «Sonntagabend» is vague; a sentence such as «Passt Ihnen 18 Uhr?» fixes the time.
Works: «Liebe Frau Novak», the polite «Sie» and a friendly greeting to her daughter.
Costs points: A short thank-you for her trust would make the e-mail warmer still.
Works: The sentences are short and clear, and «hole … ab» is split correctly.
Costs points: The case after «zu», the article in the accusative and the verb position after a subordinate clause.
Corrected sentences
Error: Ich komme am Sonntagabend zu Sie.Corrected: Ich komme am Sonntagabend zu Ihnen.«zu» takes the dative: zu Ihnen.
Error: und hole der Schlüssel abCorrected: und hole den Schlüssel ab«abholen» takes the accusative: den Schlüssel.
Error: Wenn Sie wollen, ich nehme auch die PostCorrected: Wenn Sie wollen, nehme ich auch die PostWhen the clause «Wenn Sie wollen» comes first, the verb comes next.
An example of the feedback the course will give, written by us. It is not an official result and does not predict one.
