Extremsportarten werden immer beliebter: Goethe B1 Schreiben Example
Extreme sports keep popping up as a topic in the Goethe B1 exam, and for good reason: it’s the kind of theme that pushes you to react to someone else’s opinion, add your own view, and keep the whole thing coherent — all in just a few sentences. That combination trips up a lot of candidates, not because the German is too hard, but because the structure of Schreiben Teil 2 is unfamiliar.
This particular version, where you respond to Alex’s opinion on why extreme sports are becoming more popular, is a great example of what examiners are actually looking for: clear agreement or disagreement, a reason to back it up, and a natural closing thought. Once you’ve seen how one good answer handles it, the pattern becomes much easier to reuse on exam day.
Practicing with real, recurring exam themes like this one is one of the most efficient ways to prepare, since the same structures and connectors show up again and again under different topics.
Here’s the actual task, followed by a model answer you can study and adapt.
The Task (Teil 2): In the real exam, you read a short forum-style opinion from Alex and must react to it in writing — agreeing, disagreeing, or nuancing your view, with reasons.
Model Answer (reacting, disagreeing with Alex):
Ich finde das Thema „Extremsportarten werden immer beliebter” sehr aktuell und interessant, deswegen möchte ich auch meine Meinung dazu sagen. Im Gegensatz zu Alex denke ich, dass Extremsportarten verboten werden sollten. Sie sind zunächst sehr gefährlich und unnötig — man treibt Sport, um fit zu bleiben, nicht, um andere zu beeindrucken. Bei solchen Sportarten trägt man die Gefahr selbst und riskiert dabei sogar das eigene Leben. Zum Schluss möchte ich betonen, dass man gerne Sport treiben sollte, aber Extremsportarten besser vermeidet, weil die Sicherheit dabei nie vollständig gewährleistet ist.
