Goethe B2 Reading Part 4: Views and Headings
Updated: 24 September 2026 · Checked against official exam sources
The official adult model matches opinions on one topic to six headings in Part 4; one opinion is unused and 12 minutes are suggested.
A way to approach it
Read each heading as a distinct position. Separate the writer’s main reason from qualifications in each comment.
Final check
A comment mentioning the same subject is not enough; match the actual claim of the heading.
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.
