Could prepare for the letter though. Does anyone have some phrases which you can use in the beginning and end of the letter?
What I did is I went back through the past papers and made a list of openings and closing to learn.
Then I used a closing in a letter and my teacher marked it wrong

does anyone know any idioms? i heard your meant to use them in higher ...
Just make sure you have at least one or two irregular sentences that messes around with the case or verb or whatever.
e.g Wenn(If) is a great example-it sends the verb to end
Wenn das Wetter schlect ist, bleibe ich ins
Although if your german isn't your strong point(like me), just follow the KISS principle and you will do fine:)0 -

Btw there is no point learning off a huge opening conisdering you only get 1 mark for it and another 1 mark if you manage to engage with the question in your opening. A simple Vielen Dank will suffice.
Last years topic was the importance of water, come on the importance of air

Oh really...I should probably look at the marking scheme. Damn I wanted to learn off good openings/endings like in OL Irish :pac:
I'm decent enough at German but I have like no fancy phrases...it's a bit late like. But I mean, as long as you answer all the parts of the letter with correct simple German should you get a good mark? As in no feckin idioms 0 -

Guarantee it:) If you know a few of course throw them in, but a simplistic and well-written letter will spank an ambitious but error-ridden effort any day:D
Maybe learn a few general phrases that will impress the examiner though
e.g Das ist ander als in Deutchland-that is the same in germany
Laut Bericht-according to reports
Umso erschreckender-its all the more shocking
oder?-isn't it?(builds rapport with your fake penpal haha!)0 -

Stick to content over expression. If your bad at German just try and answer the question given and try and give as many points as you can. At the end of the day you want to get the most content marks available to you.0 -
