Key Idea: Delivering the IA is about the oral itself: a short presentation from notes, then the conversation. Ready phrases help you keep talking in German.
The presentation
- Einleiten — Introduce the photo. Keep it short.
- Beschreiben — Describe what you see.
- Deuten — Say what it means.
- Verbinden — Link it to the theme.
- Abschließen — End with a sentence that opens the conversation.
The conversation
- Part 2 is about your photo; Part 3 is about another theme.
- Answer, give a reason and an example, then hand the talk back: {{Und Sie?|And you?}}
- Fill a pause in German, and ask if you did not understand.
Language for the oral
- After {{weil|because}} the verb goes last; after {{deshalb|therefore}} it comes next.
- One Konjunktiv II per answer: {{Ich würde sagen, dass …|I would say that …}}
- Stay in German, even when you search for a word.
Plan from bullet points, never a script: short at the start and the end, full in the middle.
Can you read a script aloud? No. Speak from your notes.
What is Part 3 about? A theme that is not on your photo.
«Ich bleibe zu Hause, weil ich krank __.» Where does «bin» go? At the very end.
How does your presentation end? It leads into the conversation.
