Anfrage an eine Firma wegen Auslandslieferung: Goethe B1 Schreiben Example
Writing to a company to ask about their services is one of those everyday tasks that keeps showing up in the Goethe B1 exam, and for good reason: it mirrors something you might genuinely need to do while living in a German-speaking country. In this case, you have found a company online selling sports equipment at good prices, and you want to find out whether they deliver abroad.
Themes like this one are not random. Exam boards return to a small set of realistic situations again and again, which means the vocabulary, structure, and polite phrases you learn here will serve you well beyond this single task. Getting comfortable with the pattern behind the request — how to introduce yourself, state your question, and ask for further information — pays off across many similar writing prompts.
Below you will find the exact task as it might appear in the exam, followed by a model answer showing how to respond clearly and appropriately for B1 level.
Here is the task as it could appear in your exam, along with a model answer.
