Brandenburg Gate with the title "Neues Auto gekauft" — Papagei German B1/B2 exam preparation

Buying a car and telling a friend about it sounds simple, but this exact scenario has appeared in real Goethe B1 exams — and it tests skills that go well beyond vocabulary for cars. You need to write a personal letter with the right tone, cover all the required points, and structure it the way examiners expect within a tight time limit.

Themes like this one repeat across exam sessions because they draw on everyday situations every candidate can relate to. Practicing the actual wording and structure of a task like “Neues Auto gekauft” helps you internalize patterns you can reuse, even when the next exam gives you a slightly different scenario.

Below you’ll find the exact task as it appears in the exam, followed by a model answer showing how to meet every requirement clearly and naturally.


Here is the exam task exactly as candidates see it, along with a model answer.

The Task (as given in the real exam):

Model Answer:

Lieber Jörg,

wie geht es dir? Gut, hoffe ich. Ich schreibe dir, weil ich mir letzte Woche ein Auto gekauft habe. Es ist groß und blau, von Mercedes, und schafft bis zu 200 Kilometer pro Stunde. Das Auto gefällt mir, weil ich damit wieder schnell zur Arbeit fahren und meine Kinder zur Schule bringen kann.

Schön, oder? Wollen wir am Wochenende zusammen eine kleine Ausflugstour machen? Was hältst du davon?

Viele Grüße, Jeanette
