Read the text and tasks 6-9. Which solution is correct?
Dear employees,
In our company we are committed to the environment.
Please take note of the following guidelines:
Waste: Don’t use unnecessary amounts of paper. Please print on both sides. Use paper that has only one side printed on it
as a notepad. Waste paper goes into the blue bin in the parking lot. Please break down packaging and boxes and bring them
to the warehouse. The yellow bins for plastic etc. are also in the parking lot.
Office kitchen: To save water and energy, we now have a dishwasher in the office kitchen.
Please put your used dishes in the dishwasher straight away. Only turn it on when it is full, so not every evening, but always
before the weekend.
Save energy: If you reduce the temperature on the heaters a little in winter, we save a lot of energy. In summer, please do
not turn on the air conditioning immediately. Simply open the windows or use our electric fans, which use less electricity than
air conditioning. Before you go home, check to make sure all computers and lights are turned off.
Thank you for your support.
6 Environmentally friendly behavior is important in the company.

Reading part 4
Read the text and tasks 14-18. Which solution is correct?
Shopping in the “supermarket on

wheels” What do you do when the fridge is empty and the nearest supermarket is miles away? Many
people in rural areas have this problem - especially the older ones. More and more shops in the village
have to close because many people are moving to the cities. This means that older people in particular
can no longer go shopping themselves. Often they don't have a car and taking the bus to the nearest
supermarket turns into a big day trip.
So a solution has to be found: the store comes to the people.
And so several small mobile supermarkets are already driving through the Eifel villages to supply people
with all kinds of food. Many of the products come directly from Eifel farmers, so they are regional and
particularly fresh. And the goods don't cost any more than in large supermarkets because there is no
delivery fee.
The villagers can easily shop right on their doorstep. Reliable and punctual, the car always comes on the
same day of the week, twice a week.
One of the drivers is Marina Nowak. Your working day starts very early in the morning. Then she stocks
the shelves of her mobile supermarket and off she goes. You can find an entire grocery store in their little
truck. Marina Nowak is on the road from Monday to Saturday.
It travels to 12 villages according to a set schedule. She sells the villagers fresh bread, milk, fruit, vegetables
and everything they need to eat and drink every day. This is pleasant for customers and at the same time
very personal. The drivers have known most of the customers for many years and therefore know what
they like to buy and what they like. Nevertheless, they often have new products on offer. While shopping,
there is often time for a little conversation about the weather, family or something else. The people and the
drivers like that. Dirk Hausen, who has only been driving his food truck through the Eifel for six months,
also loves this work because of the contact with people. Of course he works long days and doesn't earn
much, but that doesn't bother him because he enjoys his work.

14 supermarkets on wheels drive through the villages because old

people no longer want to walk to the store. b they supply the
shops in the village with goods. c many shops in the
countryside are closing.
15 The mobile supermarkets

a stop directly at the customer's house. b come to their customers
every day. c demand more money for their products.
16 Marina Novak
a also works on Sundays. b has
no drinks in her truck. c has to start work
early.
17 Drivers a rarely offer new goods.

b always have new customers. c like to talk
to their customers.
18 Dirk Hausen a
receives little money for his work. b has been a
driver for many years. c would like to work less.

Oral exam
The oral examination is carried out as a pair examination and lasts approximately 15 minutes.
There is no preparation time.
Two licensed examiners are required for each exam. They both evaluate the performance of the participants (participants), but
only one of them acts as an interlocutor. After the participants have left the room, the examiners enter their individual assessment
on the corresponding answer sheets.
Part 1A Introduce yourself (approx. 1.5 minutes per participant)
In the first part of the exam (Part 1A), the participants introduce themselves. The task sheet with the key points is on the table for
everyone to see. The key points are intended to help the participants. They are neither mandatory nor limiting.
Part 1B Answer follow-up questions (approx. 1 minute per participant)
After the participant's contribution, the examiner asks some in-depth follow-up questions. The examiner sheets contain grammar
points that can appear in the examiners' questions on A2 and B1. These points only serve as a guide for the examiners. They are
not mandatory.
Part 2 Planning something together (approx. 5 minutes)
In the second part of the exam, the task is to plan something together. To do this, the participants should formulate ideas, make
suggestions and react to the suggestions of the conversation partner. The key points on the task sheet are intended to help the
participants. It is important to deal with the situation linguistically. An agreement on a common plan is not absolutely necessary.
Part 3 justify your opinion (approx. 5 minutes)
In the third part of the exam, the task is to justify your own opinion on a topic of general interest.
Participants are given a question that represents two different aspects of a topic. You then have about 1 minute to think about the topic
and take notes if necessary.
The participants express their opinions and represent their point of view using arguments and examples. You should respond to
the conversation partner's statements.
Convincing the interlocutor is not the aim of the task.
Task Time
Part 1A Imagine
approx. 2.5 minutes per participant
Part 1B Answer follow-up questions
Part 2 plan something together approx. 5 minutes for both participants
part 3 justify your opinion approx. 5 minutes for both participants

information
You will find information on the following pages
• on the evaluation criteria for the writing and speaking subtests,
• the course of the entire exam and
• on the points and weighting of the exam.
This is followed by the listening texts for the Listening – Listening and Writing subtest. The answer key for the individual subtests
completes this part.

36
WRITE EVALUATION CRITERIA
The two writing achievements – reading and writing and writing – are assessed using the content and linguistic
assessment criteria set out here. The assessment of the appropriateness of the content is carried out
separately for the two writing tasks and recognizes the processing in relation to the task. Linguistic
appropriateness includes communicative design, formal correctness and the range of linguistic means as an
overarching assessment of both performances. These criteria are based on the expectations placed on learners
at the relevant levels of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages . In the listening and
writing part, four aspects are rated as correct or incorrect. The following criteria therefore do not apply to this
part.

TALK ABOUT EVALUATION CRITERIA
In the speaking subtest, oral performance is assessed according to four criteria. The communicative task
completion criterion assesses whether the task has been completed in terms of content at the appropriate level.
The criteria of pronunciation and intonation, formal correctness and range of linguistic means capture the
linguistic implementation of the task. The Speaking subtest consists of three parts. Criterion I (communicative
task completion) is assessed separately in all parts. Criteria II to IV, on the other hand, refer to the performance
that the participant shows throughout the entire oral examination. These criteria are based on the expectations
placed on learners at the relevant levels of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages.

PROCEDURE OF THE ENTIRE EXAMINATION
Written exam
The written exam lasts a total of 125 minutes and consists of the subtests Reading, Language Components - Reading and Writing,
Listening - Listening and Writing and Writing.
Before the exam begins, participants fill out all data fields on the answer sheet S30. The exam supervisor writes the full number of
the test version, which is given at the bottom left of the exercise booklet S10, and the order number on the board. The examination
supervisor informs the participants that aids such as dictionaries, cell phones or other electronic devices are not permitted and that
any attempt at deception would lead to immediate exclusion from the examination (see examination regulations §5 and 6). After the
participants have entered their personal data on the answer sheet S30, the examination supervisor collects sheet 1 of the answer
sheet S30 and distributes the exercise booklets.
Before the start of a subtest, the time for the start and end of the respective subtest should be written on the board so that it is
visible to all participants.
Participants have 45 minutes for the Reading subtest and 35 minutes for the Language Components – Reading and Writing
subtest . At the end of the processing time for the reading and language modules – reading and writing subtests , the examination
supervisor collects sheet 4 of the answer sheet S30.
The participants then continue with the Listening – Listening and Writing subtest . Playback of the audio recordings may not be
interrupted during this subtest and lasts approximately 35 minutes.
After the Listening – Listening and Writing subtest , the examination supervisor collects sheet 2 of the answer sheet S30.
After 10 minutes available for the writing subtest , the supervisor collects sheet 3 of the answer sheet S30 as well as all the exercise
books and notes from the participants. The written examination is now over.
Oral exam
The oral examination can only be taken by two telc-licensed examiners.
The test is generally carried out as a pair test and takes approximately 15 minutes. The person responsible for the examination
decides on the appropriate composition of the examination pairs. If only one person registers for the exam or there is an odd
number of exam participants, an individual exam may be taken. In this case, one of the two examiners takes on the role of the
second examination participant. In this case, column Participant B on the evaluation form M10 must be crossed out so that the
exam is clearly marked as an individual exam!
There is no preparation time.
Before the exam, a schedule must be drawn up that allows 20 minutes for each exam.
The oral exam consists of the parts introducing yourself, planning something together and justifying your opinion.
In Part 1 A, participant A introduces himself.
The bullet points on the task sheet serve as orientation, although participants can also address other topics.

41
In the subsequent part 1 B , the examiner asks some follow-up questions that tie in with the presentation.
Participant B then introduces himself and answers examiner questions.
In part 2 , the participants plan something together in the role of colleagues (event, celebration, etc.). They should bring
in their own ideas and suggestions and respond to suggestions. The bullet points on the task sheet provide ideas.
In part 3 , participants explain their opinion on a topic of general interest. The participants have around 1 minute to think
about the topic and, if necessary, make notes.
The participants express their opinions and argue why they believe this and give examples. The participants should
respond to the conversation partner's statements.
What is expected of the participants?
The participants should talk to each other and respond to the conversation partner's statements in such a way that the
conversation is as lively and authentic as possible. Questions and mutual assistance are viewed positively.
What do the examiners do?
In all parts of the exam it is important that the participants have a conversation that is as natural as possible. The desired
course of the conversation should be supported by the correct seating arrangement. The participants should keep a clear
eye on each other so that they are as little tempted as possible to speak in the direction of the examiners. The distance
between the participants and examiners should be such that the conversation between the participants is not disturbed by
the examiners who are carrying out their assessment.
The examiners ensure that the time requirements are adhered to and move on from one part of the examination to the
next. An examiner takes on the role of moderator (interlocutor). The other examiner takes on the role of observer
(assessor). The distribution of roles between interlocutor and assessor should be maintained during an examination
interview.
The examiner, who leads the conversation as an interlocutor, introduces the second examiner and himself to the
participants. She/he then briefly explains that the oral examination consists of three parts and begins with the first part of
the examination.
The amount of speaking by the interlocutor must be kept as low as possible throughout the entire examination interview.
He only intervenes if a participant dominates too much in the conversation or does not actively participate.
In this case, he or she speaks directly to the participant who spoke less in order to include him or her in the conversation.
If the conversation stalls or breaks off at any point due to misunderstandings or excessive language deficiencies, the
interlocutor carefully intervenes and gets it going again. Open questions such as “What exactly do you mean by that?”,
“Could you explain that in more detail?” or repeating or taking up statements made by the participants are particularly
suitable.

42
POINTS AND WEIGHTING
In the telc German A2·B1 exam, 240 points can be achieved, 25 percent of which are divided into the four skills

percent (42 points) in 3 of the 4 subtests reading, listening, writing, speaking and at least 40 percent (24 points)
in each subtest must be achieved.
To pass the A2 exam, 40 percent of the total points must be achieved (96 points). In addition, at least 40
percent (24 points) in 3 of the 4 subtests reading, listening, writing, speaking and at least 10 percent (6 points)
in each subtest must be achieved.

LISTEN 1
Boss (who welcomes a new employee) Good morning, Ms. Pastewka, and welcome to the “Tengel” department store,
where you will be working in sales from today.
Saleswoman Good morning, I'm looking forward to my work as a shoe saleswoman here in the house, but I don't even
know what's available here yet.
Boss Well, I would be happy to explain that to you briefly and tell you what can be found on which floor. When you come
into the house through the entrance on the ground floor, you are immediately in our drugstore department.
Saleswoman I've already been there, she's very big and beautiful.
Boss Yes, but our department for women's and men's clothing is even bigger on the first floor. You can really find
everything that has to do with fashion there.
Surely there are salespeople selling clothes for children there too, right?
Boss Unfortunately no longer, we had to close the children's clothing department last year. We no longer had good sales
figures. We now only offer shoes for children. The shoe department is on the second floor. We have a large selection of
shoes for young and old.
Saleswoman Aha, so that's where I work.
Boss Correct. On the floor above, on the third, there are sporting goods of all kinds, for ball sports, tennis, winter sports, hiking and
much more. Of course, it is also important for you to know where you can stay during the break.
Saleswoman Oh, yes, is there a smoking room? Unfortunately I'm a smoker...
Boss You are only allowed to smoke in front of the door, not in the house. But we have a nice break room for our
employees with a small kitchen and a coffee machine. This is on the 4th floor.
Saleswoman coffee is also important. Another question: Where is there parking? Are they all the way up on the roof terrace?
Boss No, we changed that. There is now a small restaurant with a terrace in the attic for our customers. But you can park
in the parking garage right next door.
Saleswoman Thank you very much, Mr. Breininger. I'm sure I'll get to know everything quickly in the next few days.
Boss I really hope that you feel comfortable with us and wish you a good start.

LISTEN 2
Mr. Pizaro Good afternoon, Ms. Kaiser, nice of you to come by in person so that we can discuss everything.
Ms. Kaiser Yes, good afternoon, Mr. Pizaro. I've known your restaurant for a long time, I often eat here with my family, but we haven't
held a company party for our cosmetics studio here yet. First the most important information: We have to postpone the date from
December 12th to December 19th.
Mr. Pizaro Oh dear! We are pretty fully booked in December. I'll take a quick look... You're lucky, the 19th is still free.
Ms. Kaiser Well, we're early too. There are still 6 months left.
Mr. Pizaro Okay, so now the date has been set. How many people are coming?
Ms. Kaiser If all of our employees agree, including the intern and our two trainees, then we will be 24 people. I definitely only know
about it shortly beforehand.
Mr. Pizaro No problem. Up to 30 people fit in the small side room.
Ms. Kaiser: Nice, it's just us there.
Mr. Pizaro I think so too, and we will decorate nicely.
Ms. Kaiser Very good, I would like to take part in the decoration. It should fit the style of our studio. As a beautician, I have my own
ideas.
Mr. Pizaro Of course with pleasure.
Ms. Kaiser Great, then we just have to talk about the food. So, there are seven of us vegetarians and three people don't eat fish, oh,
and one is allergic to nuts...
Mr. Pizaro Wait, that sounds pretty complicated, but I'm used to special requests these days.
We can handle that. However, that is still far too early. We will make another appointment for the exact menu plan. Get in touch again
in October.
Ms. Kaiser Thank you very much, Mr. Pizaro.

stop. Birkenstrasse is within walking distance from both stops. Thank you for your understanding.
46 You are sitting on the ICE Hamburg-Frankfurt. You want to go to Berlin.
Dear passengers, our ICE has a technical problem. That's why we arrive in Hanover 20 minutes late. Passengers to Berlin and
Cologne will miss their connection. To Cologne take the train from platform 6 at 2:10 p.m. It only leaves platform 3 for Berlin at 2:40
p.m. We regret the inconvenience and thank you for your understanding.

LISTEN 4
Numbers 47 to 51
Speaker Good morning, dear listeners. “What do you actually do for your health?” We asked around about this topic
and got various interesting answers. Hear the first opinion here:
Lila My name is Lila and I feel fit and healthy, I only rarely get a cold. The reason for this is definitely my diet. I am a
vegetarian and completely avoid meat. Well, I'm not a vegan, I eat eggs, milk, cheese and so on, but above all a lot of
vegetables and fruit, some of them from my own garden.
Speaker What do you think, Natalia?
Natalia You always hear how important sport is for your health. That's true, but I still have my doubts. I know a few
people who injured themselves while training and have been struggling with the consequences ever since. My father
has had shoulder pain since a sports accident and my girlfriend has problems with her knees because she plays so
much tennis.
Speaker Do you see it the same way, Robin?
Robin No, I have a completely opposite opinion: sport and exercise are particularly important for a healthy life. You
don't have to do extreme sports. But regular exercise through running, cycling or swimming is good for everyone and
also keeps you healthy. My favorite hobby is playing football, I enjoy it and being outside in the fresh air. I go to training
twice a week.
Speaker Are you also sporty, Anatoli?
Anatoli Yes, I exercise regularly, go for walks a lot and stuff like that. But above all, I think that a life without stress
contributes to health. Lots of relaxation, rest and enough sleep, for me these are the most important conditions for
staying healthy. You should avoid stress, hecticness and anger whenever possible. I sleep enough, at least 8 hours,
and do yoga every day. This makes me feel calm and balanced.
Speaker And you, Carlos?
Carlos Well, honestly... I think health or illness, it's just a matter of luck. You can't influence that. Let's take my grandma
as an example. She turned 95 last week. And she is in good health, even though she has hardly done any exercise
throughout her life. She only ate what she liked. She even smoked. That's why I just live the way I feel comfortable.
Speaker Finally, your opinion please, Carola.
Carola I have been overweight and diabetic since I was over 65 and my doctor recommended that I give up everything
that I like and enjoy: chocolate, cream, cake and so on. But cooking and baking are my hobbies and I enjoy all these
delicious things so much. It's just extremely difficult for me to eat almost only vegetables and fruit. Eating only healthy
foods is easier said than done.

LISTEN AND WRITE
Example Hello, this is Sabine. The postman dropped off a package for you. I don't want to just leave it on your doorstep. But I have
to go now. The package is in our garden house. You can find it there when you get home.
52 Yes, hello Ali. The kids are coming to eat today, so I want to make pizza. There's still plenty of cheese and salami in the fridge.
But I don't have any tomatoes anymore. Can you please bring me a kilo when you go shopping later? Thanks.
53 Hello, this is Elisabeth Helmer speaking from the third floor. I invite all the neighbors to a barbecue in the yard on Sunday
evening. Most people have time there. Please let me know if you're coming too. Maybe you can bring a salad.
54 Practice Dr. Feldmann, good afternoon. Ms. Grell, you have an appointment with us tomorrow at 5 p.m. Unfortunately we have to
cancel, Dr. Feldmann is sick. Please call us back by 6 p.m. today. Then we can make a new appointment. Thank you for your
understanding.
55 Hello Elena, you are also invited to Laura and Stefan's on Saturday evening. Do we want to give something together? I know they
want plants for the balcony. I can get something from the nursery and you give me money later. So, what do you think?
56 Hello, this is Paloma Ferrante from the tailor shop. I still have questions about the clothes you dropped off here. Could you please
call me back today? My cell phone number is 0174 610293. I can be reached all day long.
