Haben Sie nächste Woche Error: ein Termin frei? Am Montag oder Dienstag geht es bei mir gut.
Mit Error: freundlichen Grüße

How it is marked
The sample feedback follows what the task asks for: three of the four points, the form of an e-mail to a business and language that is easy to follow. In the exam this task is worth 10 points, the form before it 5.
- Drei PunkteWhether three of the four points are in the text, each with one or two sentences.
- Form und TonGreeting, sign-off and a polite tone for an e-mail to a business.
- SpracheWord order, forms and words: is it clear what is meant?
Feedback on the sample answer Example
Works: The apology, the reason and a new appointment are there, each in a sentence of its own.
Costs points: Nothing, the three chosen points are covered.
Works: «Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren» and «es tut mir leid» suit a hair salon.
Costs points: The closing formula has a mistake, and it shows at the end of a formal e-mail.
Works: The meaning is always clear, and «zu Hause bleiben» is right.
Costs points: The verb position after the time phrase, the accusative of «Termin» and the ending in the closing formula.
Corrected sentences
Error: am Donnerstag um 10 Uhr ich kann nicht kommenCorrected: am Donnerstag um 10 Uhr kann ich nicht kommenWhen the time phrase comes first, the verb follows straight away, then the subject.
Error: Haben Sie nächste Woche ein Termin frei?Corrected: Haben Sie nächste Woche einen Termin frei?«haben» takes the accusative: einen Termin.
Error: Mit freundlichen GrüßeCorrected: Mit freundlichen Grüßen«mit» takes the dative, and the dative plural ends in -n.

Does the certificate count for the integration agreement?
No, not in Austria: since the amendment of the Integration Act (Bundesgesetzblatt I 41/2019), Modul 1 of the Integrationsvereinbarung is met by the ÖIF Integrationsprüfung A2, and certificates from telc, Goethe or ÖSD are no longer on the list (Integrationsgesetz § 9). For the points of the Red-White-Red Card telc Deutsch A2 does count: A2 gives 10 points if the proof is no more than 5 years old.
