Exam: announcements & requests
Two real exam tasks, both yours now:
- Goethe (Start Deutsch 1) Hören plays public announcements — exactly the Durchsagen you trained: Gleis, Verspätung, fällt aus.
- Sprechen Teil 3 hands you picture cards for polite requests — your Sie-imperative and Können Sie …? moment.
ÖSD tests the same skills in its Hören and the Rollenspiel.
Checkpoint: open the listening simulator and do the Durchsagen tasks, then Teil 3 in the speaking simulator. Aim for the full 6 points on the Bitten round.
Tip
In announcements, listen for the detail the question asks about, such as a time, destination, or platform. In requests, use a suitable polite form and respond to your partner.
