| Part | What is it? | Strategy | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | | Reading for Gist. You read a blog post or article and match 6 statements to 4 paragraphs (a, b, c, d). | Read the text first. Underline key words. Then read the statements. Be careful: statements often look similar to the text but have a subtle difference in meaning. | | Teil 2 | Reading for Detail. A journalistic text (newspaper article). 4 questions, 3 options each (a, b, c). | Read the questions first. Then scan the text for the answer. Don't rely on your general knowledge; the answer must be in the text. | | Teil 3 | Selective Reading. You have a "need" (e.g., looking for a specific gift) and 8 advertisements. Match your need to the ads. | Read the "Situation" box first. Underline exactly what you need (e.g., "cheap," "open on Sunday"). Then look for those specific details in the ads. | | Teil 4 | Opinion/Argumentation. A text presenting two sides of an argument. You must identify which sentence supports which side or is neutral. | This is the hardest part for many. Focus on linking words like aber, deshalb, außerdem, dagegen . They tell you if the sentence is for or against. |
