Ist das Hotel-Mama bequem?: Goethe B1 Schreiben Example
“Ist das Hotel-Mama bequem?” is one of those Goethe B1 Schreiben Teil 2 themes that shows up again and again, and for good reason. It touches on a topic every young adult has an opinion about: living with your parents versus moving out on your own. Examiners love it because it invites clear arguments, personal experience, and everyday vocabulary — exactly what B1 writing tasks are designed to test.
Reacting to someone else’s opinion, like Julia’s here, is a specific skill in itself. You need to agree or disagree, back it up with reasons, and keep your tone natural, not just list vocabulary you’ve memorized. That structure repeats across many Schreiben Teil 2 tasks, so getting comfortable with this one theme pays off well beyond the exam day you actually see it.
Working through a real example, with a real model answer, is one of the most efficient ways to internalize how these responses are built — the connectors, the structure, the level of detail examiners expect.
Here is the exam task along with a model answer you can study line by line.
The Task (Teil 2) In the real exam, you read a short forum-style opinion from Julia and must react to it in writing — agreeing, disagreeing, or nuancing your view, with reasons.
Model Answer (reacting, disagreeing with Julia)
Im Gegensatz zu Julia bin ich nicht der Meinung, dass man im Hotel Mama einfach nur bequem lebt. Natürlich ist es günstiger, bei den Eltern zu wohnen, und man muss sich um weniger kümmern, aber man verpasst dadurch auch wichtige Erfahrungen, wie zum Beispiel den eigenen Haushalt zu organisieren oder mit Geld selbstständig umzugehen. Junge Erwachsene sollten meiner Meinung nach möglichst früh ausziehen, auch wenn es anfangs schwerer ist, denn nur so lernt man wirklich, für sich selbst zu sorgen. Natürlich sollte man dabei die Unterstützung der Eltern nicht ganz verlieren.
