Goethe B2 Reading Part 1: Matching People and Views
Updated: 23 September 2026 · Checked against official exam sources
In the adult model set, Part 1 matches nine statements to four forum contributors; a person can be chosen more than once.
A way to approach it
Mark the distinguishing attitude in each statement. Compare paraphrases of each person’s view rather than matching a shared word.
Final check
Locate a supporting sentence for every answer. Do not change an answer merely because the same person appears twice.
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.
