Streit mit den Eltern: Goethe B1 Schreiben Beispiel

5 August 2026 · Papagei
Brandenburg Gate with the title "Streit mit den Eltern" — Papagei German B1/B2 exam preparation

Family conflict is one of those topics that shows up again and again in the Goethe B1 Schreiben exam, and for good reason: it’s relatable, it forces you to use past tense, and it naturally invites you to explain feelings and give advice — exactly the skills examiners want to see.

Writing about a disagreement with your parents means juggling several things at once: describing what happened, how you felt, and what you plan to do next, all in a friendly letter to someone close to you. It sounds simple, but doing it clearly and naturally under exam pressure takes practice.

That’s why we’re breaking down this specific theme here. Seeing exactly how a strong answer is structured — and which phrases carry the emotional nuance — makes it much easier to write your own version when this topic (or one just like it) appears on your exam.


Here is the original task exactly as it appears in the exam, along with a model answer.

The Task (as given in the real exam):

Sie hatten Streit mit Ihren Eltern. Schreiben Sie Ihrem Freund / Ihrer Freundin darüber.

You need to cover:

Model Answer:

Liebe Melanie,

wie geht es dir? Gut, hoffe ich. Mir geht es nicht so gut, denn ich hatte kürzlich Streit mit meinen Eltern. Ich war mit Freunden unterwegs und erst um Mitternacht nach Hause gekommen. Das hat meine Mutter richtig aufgeregt. Wir streiten uns manchmal auch, wenn ich schlechte Noten habe oder mich nicht genug um den Haushalt kümmere.

Die Situation gefällt mir gar nicht, deshalb würde ich gerne ein paar Ratschläge von dir hören. Was kann ich tun? Ich warte auf deine Antwort.

Liebe Grüße, Laetitia
