  1. 1What 'choose the true statements' is
  2. 2Choose the true statements step by step

  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 Sofia. Sie spricht über ihren Morgen.

  1. Wählen Sie die drei richtigen Aussagen aus. A. Sofia frühstückt jetzt in der Schule. B. Sofia frühstückt mit ihrer Familie. C. Sofia trinkt morgens Kaffee. D. Sofia geht zu Fuß zum Unterricht. E. Die Schule ist in der Nähe. F. Sofia fährt mit dem Bus zur Schule.

Hallo, ich heiße Sofia. Früher habe ich zu Hause gefrühstückt, aber seit ich auf die neue Schule gehe, frühstücke ich in der Mensa mit meinen Klassenkameraden. Ich nehme immer ein Brötchen und einen Orangensaft. Danach gehen wir zusammen zu Fuß in den Unterricht, denn die Schule ist ganz nah, nur fünf Minuten entfernt. Nach der Schule fahre ich aber mit dem Bus zum Training.

Hi, my name is Sofia. I used to have breakfast at home, but since I started at the new school I have breakfast in the canteen with my classmates. I always have a bread roll and an orange juice. Afterwards we walk to class together, because the school is very close, only five minutes away. After school, though, I take the bus to training.

  1. A, 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.

Lukas im Tierheim

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

Sie hören jetzt Lukas. Er erzählt von seinem Ehrenamt im Tierheim.

  1. Wählen Sie die drei richtigen Aussagen aus. A. Lukas hilft seit einem Jahr im Tierheim. B. Lukas arbeitet jeden Sonntag. C. Seine Tante hatte die Idee. D. Lukas hat heute Angst vor Hunden. E. Lukas wird für seine Arbeit bezahlt. F. Lukas putzt die Käfige.

Seit einem Jahr helfe ich jeden Samstag im Tierheim. Die Idee kam von meiner Tante, sie arbeitet dort als Tierärztin. Am Anfang hatte ich ein bisschen Angst vor den großen Hunden, aber das ist längst vorbei. Ich gehe mit den Hunden spazieren und mache die Käfige sauber. Geld bekomme ich dafür nicht, aber das ist mir egal. Nächstes Jahr möchte ich ein Praktikum bei meiner Tante machen.

For a year I have been helping at the animal shelter every Saturday. The idea came from my aunt, she works there as a vet. At first I was a bit afraid of the big dogs, but that's long over. I take the dogs for walks and clean the cages. I don't get paid for it, but I don't mind. Next year I'd like to do an internship with my aunt.

  1. A, C, F
Spot the trap: Früher, am Anfang, nicht mehr: these words flip a statement. Listen for them on the second play.

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.
