1. 0:00Hello.
2. 0:00I am Clara, a German teacher and telc examiner.
3. 0:05Welcome back to my channel.
4. 0:07You've asked me again and again
5. 0:10to make a video on the topic of B2 exams.
6. 0:14And of course I'm be happy to fulfill your wish.
7. 0:18In this video I would like to focus primarily on the oral part of the B2 exam,
8. 0:23especially on the topic of discussion, to be precise.
9. 0:27So, let's get started.
10. 0:33A few more information first. The B2 exam consists of several parts:
11. 0:39Reading comprehension, listening comprehension, written expression
12. 0:43and, as mentioned before, the oral expression.
13. 0:47A total of four skills are tested.
14. 0:52This is not just the case with the telc exam,
15. 0:54but also all other exam formats.
16. 0:58During the telc exam however, there is in addition to the presentation
17. 1:02and the organization also a discussion part.
18. 1:05Because it's all a bit more complex
19. 1:08and you also have to read several texts,
20. 1:11you get 20 minutes preparation time,
21. 1:15where you can get all the texts that are relevant for the B2 exam.
22. 1:19You should then read these and make notes on them,
23. 1:24which you can then take with you into the exam.
24. 1:27So when it comes to the “discussion” part,
25. 1:31you will receive a DIN A4 sheet with a text,
26. 1:34which can cover a wide variety of topics.
27. 1:38health, vacation, relationships, work,
28. 1:42school, food, plastic surgery
29. 1:46and so on.
30. 1:47This means that it is very important that you start on time
31. 1:51to study for the exam and expand your vocabulary.
32. 1:56Because, as you could see, the range of topics is wide.
33. 2:00Now let's assume that you have a text on the topic
34. 2:04“Vegan diet - healthy or not?”.
35. 2:09If you take notes on this, try to
36. 2:11keep the following questions in mind:
37. 2:151. What is the text generally about?
38. 2:18Make a short summary.
39. 2:212. What is the author's stance on the topic?
40. 2:263. What is your view?
41. 2:294. What experiences have you had with the topic?
42. 2:34These four points are very, very important for the notes.
43. 2:38Okay, now let's get a little more specific.
44. 2:42I'm about to show text and you have to press pause so
45. 2:46that you can read it once.
46. 2:50And if you want, you can also take notes
47. 2:53where you answer the questions mentioned above.
48. 3:05Wonderful.
49. 3:06Are you ready?
50. 3:06Then we can now talk about the means of speech.
51. 3:11Let's start with the summary.
52. 3:14So, point 1: What is the text about?
53. 3:17A typical sentence to start a summary would be:
54. 3:22“The text is about …” + accusative.
55. 3:26Or: “The text is about …” Attention! + dative.
56. 3:31Example:
57. 3:32“The text is about the topic of vegan nutrition
58. 3:37and about the question, whether purely plant-based products are always so healthy.
59. 3:43You don't need to say anything more about it.
60. 3:46The introduction should give you and the person you are talking to
61. 3:50an introduction to the upcoming conversation.
62. 3:55Here you could for extra points add the author's opinion.
63. 4:00Does he have neutral, positive or negative attitude towards the topic?
64. 4:06Now you can move on to your argument.
65. 4:10What is particularly important here is that you don't just list your arguments in a monologue,
66. 4:16but also actively ask your conversation partner for his opinion
67. 4:21so that a discussion can arise, which... yes, is the task.
68. 4:27Important means of speech are -
69. 4:29And we divide these into categories - as follows:
70. 4:321. Express your opinion.
71. 4:342. Ask for the interviewer's opinion.
72. 4:393. Share the same opinion.
73. 4:424. Not sharing the same opinion.
74. 4:45And 5. Not having a clear opinion.
75. 4:48So if you want to express your opinion,
76. 4:51you can start like this:
77. 4:53"In my opinion ..."
78. 4:55This is followed by a verb and a “because” sentence. Or:
79. 4:59“In my opinion...” a verb follows here, too.
80. 5:02and a “because” or a “because” sentence.
81. 5:05A simpler variant is:
82. 5:08“I think...” or “I think...”
83. 5:12or “I think ...”.
84. 5:13You can use these phrases wonderfully to express your opinion.
85. 5:19Or also: “I am of the opinion that...
86. 5:22The reason is this...” You see, I always have a “because” here, too
87. 5:27because you have to justify your argument.
88. 5:32Basically, you want the person you are talking to to know your opinion.
89. 5:36For example: “I think a vegan diet is healthy, because
90. 5:40you consume a lot more fruit and vegetables.”
91. 5:43Immediately after expressing your opinion you can then direct the question to your partner.
92. 5:49You can do this with the following phrases: “How do you see that?”
93. 5:55“What is your opinion?”
94. 5:58"What do you think about this?"
95. 6:01Or “Do you see it similarly?”
96. 6:03If you are the one being asked
97. 6:07and you want to say that you share the same opinion, you can put it like this:
98. 6:13“I see it the same way you do.” or simply “I see it the same way.”.
99. 6:17"I agree with you."
100. 6:20"I share your opinion."
101. 6:23“I am of the same opinion.”
102. 6:27“I definitely agree with you.”
103. 6:29For example:
104. 6:30"I agree with that.
105. 6:33As a vegan you are most likely consuming lots more fruit and vegetables.
106. 6:39And that means the diet is automatically healthier.”
107. 6:43But if you don't have the same opinion , I recommend these phrases:
108. 6:48"I do not think so."
109. 6:51“Unfortunately I have a different opinion.”
110. 6:55"I have to disagree with you."
111. 6:58“Hmm, we seem to have different views on that to this topic. I think ..."
112. 7:05If you have a different opinion, it would be here
113. 7:08again, ideal if you justify it, of course.
114. 7:12For example:
115. 7:13"I see it differently."
116. 7:15“In my opinion, everyone should eat what suits them
117. 7:19or is good for you without excluding food groups.
118. 7:24Vegan foods can often contain a lot of sugar and that’s anything but healthy.”
119. 7:31And the penultimate point: If you want to express,
120. 7:34that you only agree 50% of an argument,
121. 7:38then these expressions are available to you, among others:
122. 7:42“On the one hand, I understand your point of view,
123. 7:45On the other hand, I think that...”
124. 7:48Or: “I have two opinions on this.
125. 7:51On the one hand / On the one hand, I think it's healthy
126. 7:56to avoid meat, on the other hand/
127. 8:00On the other hand, I think it would be enough
128. 8:05if you simply reduce meat consumption.
129. 8:08You don't have to go vegan straight away
130. 8:12or become a vegetarian to live healthily.
131. 8:16And now we come to the means of speech to the last point, namely your own experiences.
132. 8:21And with your own experiences on the topic the discussion ends.
133. 8:26We have the following means of speaking for this:
134. 8:29“I myself have/am/was ...”
135. 8:32And so on.
136. 8:34Or: “From my own experience I can say that...”
137. 8:38For example: “I myself gave up meat and animal products in general for two years.
138. 8:45Unfortunately, this caused me health problems.
139. 8:48That's why I think a balanced diet is
140. 8:52best consisting of both plant based and animal products.”
141. 8:57Here too, I would ask after talking about my experience my conversation partner.
142. 9:03For example with: “Do you also have experience with a vegan diet?”
143. 9:09So you always look at it as
144. 9:12ping pong game between you when it comes to who has what part of the speech.
145. 9:17Because that is the most important thing in the oral exam.
146. 9:21There should be a discussion. So don't give too much of the talking to one conversation partner.
147. 9:27So, we have all the expressions for the discussion
148. 9:31collected in the B2 exam.
149. 9:35But I would like to give you the following tips:
150. 9:40Point No. 1: Start preparing early.
151. 9:43Read a lot and educate yourself on a wide variety of topics.
152. 9:48Because this is how you expand your vocabulary.
153. 9:512. Use the preparation time
154. 9:55before the exam to take good notes.
155. 9:58These help you structure your thoughts and always keep
156. 10:02the questions in mind that I asked you at the beginning of the video.
157. 10:063. When you sit in the exam and your notes in front of you
158. 10:10just take a quick look at them and then go straight back to your conversation partner.
159. 10:15Because there is no point in reading the notes.
160. 10:19This results in point deductions.
161. 10:214. Write a short summary of a maximum of 2 to 3 sentences
162. 10:27and I would suggest you that you really
163. 10:32write it in detail on your notepad, so you at the beginning if you're nervous
164. 10:37can say this sentence directly and have an easier entry into the discussion.
165. 10:43And also important: It really shouldn't be more than two or three sentences,
166. 10:48because the focus on the discussion part is not the summary,
167. 10:52but rather on argumentation and discussion.
168. 10:55And 5. Ask your conversation partner questions and listen to him/her carefully too.
169. 11:00The examiners will evaluate how well you respond to his or her statements.
170. 11:06Finally: Have confidence in your abilities.
171. 11:09I'm sure you'll do great! ☺️
172. 11:12And now I wish you much success in your preparation for your oral exam.
173. 11:17As always, I would be happy if you like my video and follow me
