Grammar
Writing
A dictionary could be useful for…
- checking if a word really exists
- finding synonyms
- checking meaning and context
- checking spelling, grammar, prepositions
- looking up parts of speech (Wortarten) of the same root word
- looking up idioms
Material-based writing
Quelle vs Material: jedes Material hat eine Quelle, z.B. Bundesamt für Statistik oder eine Zeitung; das Material ist jedoch z.B. die Statistik
Quellen müssen nicht im Writing genannt werden; nur die message ist wichtig als Unterstützung für die Argumentation
Quotes (Zitate) können direkt oder indirekt zitiert werden, auf jeden Fall müssen sie aber sinnvoll eingebunden sein
possible materials for writing and what to do with these types of materials:
- Statistics: full message and/or extract useful data
- Infographics: full message and/or extract useful data
- Cartoon: message, example
- Quote: message, example
- Short English/German text
- Headline of article
Reading
There are many resources for training your reading comprehension skills out on the internet. If you look for exercises, search for upper-intermediate (B2) level.

Then, start the discussion:
- at first, introduce yourself and quickly state your view on the topic
- then discuss in group
