  1. 1What 'choose the true statements' is
  2. 2Choose the true statements step by step
  3. 3In action
  4. 4Common errors
What it is: You read a list of sentences about the recording. The instruction tells you how many are true (usually five). Tick exactly that many. Each right tick = 1 mark.
The instruction on the paper: Wählen Sie die fünf richtigen Aussagen aus. → Choose the five correct statements.

Short example: 3 of the 6 sentences are true

The instruction here says 3, so choose 3. Then show the answer.

Sie hören jetzt einen Radiobeitrag über ein Repair-Café.

  1. Wählen Sie die drei richtigen Aussagen aus. A. Das Repair-Café öffnet jeden Samstag. B. Zwei Studentinnen hatten die Idee. C. Die Helfer werden bezahlt. D. Man kann eine Spende geben. E. Heute kommen auch junge Leute. F. Das Café verkauft neue Geräte.

Jeden ersten Samstag im Monat öffnet in unserer Stadt das Repair-Café. Die Idee stammt von zwei Studentinnen, die keine Lust mehr hatten, kaputte Geräte wegzuwerfen. Ehrenamtliche Helfer reparieren dort Toaster, Fahrräder und Kleidung. Bezahlen muss niemand, aber viele Besucher geben eine kleine Spende. Anfangs kamen vor allem Rentner, inzwischen sind auch viele Jugendliche dabei. Neue Geräte verkauft das Café nicht.

On the first Saturday of every month the Repair Café opens in our town. The idea comes from two students who were tired of throwing away broken appliances. Volunteers repair toasters, bikes and clothes there. Nobody has to pay, but many visitors give a small donation. At first it was mainly pensioners who came; now many young people take part too. The café does not sell new appliances.

  1. B, D, E
Wählen Sie die fünf richtigen Aussagen aus.
Choose the five correct statements.
Wählen Sie die vier richtigen Aussagen aus.
Sometimes four: then choose exactly four
die Aussage / die Aussagen
the statement / the statements
richtig
correct, true
[5]
1 mark for each right letter
Remember: Not true/false: you don't mark every sentence, you only tick the true ones. Tick exactly the number asked. A statement is right only if the speaker says it, not if it sounds likely.

Jakobs Freiwilliges Soziales Jahr

Press play, choose three letters, then show the answer.

Sie hören jetzt ein Interview mit Jakob über sein Freiwilliges Soziales Jahr in einem Kindergarten.

  1. Wählen Sie die drei richtigen Aussagen aus. A. Jakob wollte zuerst in einem Krankenhaus arbeiten. B. Jakob bedauert seine Wahl. C. Jakob liest den Kindern vor. D. Im Kindergarten ist es meistens ruhig. E. Jakob ist abends zufrieden. F. Jakob wollte schon immer Lehrer werden.

Interviewer: Jakob, wie bist du auf den Kindergarten gekommen? Jakob: Ehrlich gesagt wollte ich zuerst in ein Krankenhaus, aber dort war kein Platz mehr frei. Inzwischen bin ich froh darüber. Ich bereite das Frühstück vor, spiele draußen mit den Kindern und lese ihnen nachmittags vor. Interviewer: Gibt es auch schwierige Momente? Jakob: Klar, wenn zwanzig Kinder gleichzeitig etwas wollen. Laut ist es fast immer. Aber am Ende des Tages bin ich zufrieden. Nach dem Jahr will ich Grundschullehrer werden. Das hätte ich vorher nie gedacht.

Interviewer: Jakob, how did you end up at the nursery? Jakob: To be honest, I first wanted to go to a hospital, but there were no places left. Now I'm glad about it. I prepare breakfast, play outside with the children and read to them in the afternoon. Interviewer: Are there difficult moments too? Jakob: Sure, when twenty children want something at the same time. It's almost always loud. But at the end of the day I'm satisfied. After the year I want to become a primary school teacher. I would never have thought that before.

  1. A, C, E
Spot the trap: At HL the proof is often a short phrase: inzwischen bin ich froh, das hätte ich nie gedacht. One phrase can make a statement false.

Do

  • Read all statements before the audio.
  • Tick only what the speaker says.
  • Count: exactly the number asked.

Don't

  • Tick a statement because a word matches.
  • Trust what was true in the past.
  • Tick six to be safe.
