Updated: 24 September 2026 · Checked against official exam sources

In the adult model, Part 4 matches eight statements to speakers in a discussion played twice.

A way to approach it

Scan the statements and mark each central claim. Keep a short note column for every speaker while listening.

Final check

Speaking about the same topic does not mean holding the same opinion; verify who actually made the claim.

Practise with the official sample

Take the relevant part of the Goethe-Institut adult model set to its official time. Use the key for Reading and Listening and the published criteria for Writing and Speaking. In your next attempt, measure whether the same error recurs.
