What it is: You get the start of a sentence and finish it with words from the text. There is no list.
The instruction on the paper: Finden Sie das passende Satzende. Verwenden Sie dazu Wörter aus Zeilen 20–26. → Find the right sentence ending. Use words from lines 20–26.
Die Rückkehr der Nachtzüge: Lange galten Nachtzüge als Auslaufmodell. Billigflüge waren schneller und meist günstiger, und viele Verbindungen wurden eingestellt. Doch seit einigen Jahren erleben die Züge ein Comeback. Vor allem junge Reisende schätzen es, abends einzusteigen und morgens ausgeschlafen in einer anderen Stadt anzukommen. Zudem verursacht eine Bahnreise deutlich weniger Treibhausgase als ein Flug. Ein Problem bleibt jedoch der Preis: Ein Bett im Schlafwagen kostet oft mehr als ein Hotelzimmer, weshalb Kritiker eine staatliche Förderung fordern.

Example question

Finden Sie das passende Satzende. Verwenden Sie dazu Wörter aus Absatz 1.

Ein Bett im Schlafwagen kostet oft …

Step by step

    Remember: Your ending must finish the sentence and be true to the text. Copy only the words you need.

    Sonntage bei der Großmutter: Jeden Sonntag fuhr Lea mit dem Fahrrad zu ihrer Großmutter, die am Rand des Dorfes in einem schiefen Holzhaus lebte. Die alte Frau sprach wenig, doch sie kochte immer zu viel, als erwarte sie noch Gäste, die längst nicht mehr kamen. Nach dem Essen holten sie gemeinsam die Fotoalben aus dem Schrank. Lea kannte jedes Bild, aber sie fragte trotzdem jedes Mal nach den Namen, weil die Großmutter dann zu lächeln begann.

    Example question

    Finden Sie das passende Satzende. Verwenden Sie dazu Wörter aus Absatz 1.

    Lea fragte nach den Namen auf den Fotos, weil …
