Stars — unsere Idole?: Goethe B1 Schreiben Example
Celebrity culture is one of those topics that keeps showing up in the Goethe B1 Schreiben exam, and for good reason: it’s something everyone has an opinion on, whether they follow stars closely or actively avoid the hype. That makes it a favorite for examiners who want to see how you express agreement, disagreement, and personal reasoning in written German.
In this task, you’re asked to react to Emily’s statement about stars being our idols. It sounds simple, but doing it well means more than just saying “I agree” or “I disagree” — you need to back up your view, bring in your own experience, and keep the structure clean and logical.
Below, you’ll find the original exam prompt along with a model answer, so you can see exactly what a strong response looks like in practice.
Here’s the exam task, followed by a model answer you can study and learn from.
The Task (Teil 2) In the real exam, you read a short forum-style opinion from Emily and must react to it in writing — agreeing, disagreeing, or nuancing your view, with reasons.
Model Answer (reacting, agreeing with Emily)
Ich finde das Thema „Stars — unsere Idole?" sehr interessant und aktuell, deshalb möchte ich meine Meinung dazu äußern. Ich stimme Emily zu, dass Stars nicht unsere Idole sein sollten. Stars sind Menschen wie wir, und man muss zugeben, dass sie talentiert und begabt sind. Trotzdem machen auch sie Fehler. Deshalb sollten wir Stars gern haben, aber nicht überhöhen. Zum Schluss möchte ich betonen, dass Stars nur im Fernsehen eine besondere Rolle spielen sollten und nicht im echten Leben.
