Goethe B2 Speaking: Follow-up Questions
Updated: 24 September 2026 · Checked against official exam sources
In the B2 adult model, Part 1 continues after the presentation with answering a partner’s question and asking one about their presentation.
A way to approach it
While listening, note one point worth clarifying or illustrating. Answer the question directly, then add a brief reason or example.
Final check
Do not return to a memorised speech; address the actual question and maintain contact with your partner.
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.
