# Goethe A2 Speaking Part 3 – Plan Something Together

> Speaking Part 3 of the Goethe-Zertifikat A2: plan something together and reach agreement. Useful phrases for suggestions and agreement, common mistakes and an example.

## Key takeaways

- You plan something together (e.g. a trip) and reach agreement.
- Make suggestions, respond to them and reach an agreement in the end.

- Task type: Planning conversation
- Focus: Negotiating together

## What this part tests

Part 3 tests whether you can plan something with a partner and reach agreement. You get a task – for example “Plant gemeinsam einen Ausflug” or “Organisiert eine Party” – and discuss what, when and where you’ll do it.

It’s about cooperation: making suggestions, responding to your partner’s suggestions and arriving at a joint decision in the end. A good contribution isn’t just “ja” or “nein”, but a concrete suggestion.

Whoever has phrases for suggestions and agreement ready plans fluently. What matters is that you really reach a result – an open conversation without agreement feels incomplete.

**What you practice:** Making suggestions, Responding to suggestions, Reaching agreement

## How to approach it

1. Read the planning task and think about what you need to settle (what, when, where).
2. Make a concrete suggestion (“Wollen wir …?”, “Wie wäre es mit …?”).
3. Respond to your partner’s suggestions – agree or suggest something else.
4. Maybe split the tasks at the end (“Ich bringe …, kannst du …?”).
5. Close with a clear agreement (“Gut, dann machen wir das so”).

## Example task with answer

A short example in the same format: how to plan together and reach agreement.

**Aufgabe:** Plant gemeinsam einen Ausflug am Sonntag. Klärt, wohin ihr fahrt, wann ihr euch trefft und was ihr mitnehmt.

- Example phrases (extract):
  - Answer: Wollen wir am Sonntag in den Zoo gehen? – Gute Idee! Wann treffen wir uns? – Vielleicht um zehn Uhr am Eingang? – Einverstanden. Ich bringe etwas zu trinken mit, kannst du Brötchen mitnehmen? – Ja, mache ich. Dann ist alles geplant. — The example makes concrete suggestions (“Wollen wir …?”), responds with agreement, settles time and place, splits the tasks and reaches a clear agreement in the end – exactly what Part 3 expects.

## Practice: test yourself

In Teil 3 plant ihr gemeinsam eine Party für einen Freund.

- Which sentence makes a good suggestion?
  - a) Ist mir egal, mach du das.
  - b) Wollen wir die Party am Samstag bei mir zu Hause machen?
  - c) Das schaffen wir sowieso nicht.
  - Answer: b — In Part 3 you actively make suggestions. “Wollen wir die Party am Samstag bei mir machen?” (b) is a concrete suggestion. a and c don’t move the planning forward.

## Common mistakes

- **No concrete suggestions:** “Ja, machen wir was” isn’t enough. Make concrete suggestions with “Wollen wir …?”.
- **Leaving it all to your partner:** Part 3 is teamwork – bring your own ideas and respond actively.
- **No agreement:** Without a joint result the conversation feels incomplete. Agree in the end.
- **Forgetting useful phrases:** Without phrases for suggestion and agreement the planning sounds clunky. Learn a set.

## Tips

- Learn phrases for suggestions (“Wollen wir …?”), agreement (“Gute Idee!”) and asking back.
- Make sure you really reach an agreement in the end.
- Respond to your partner instead of just pushing your own ideas.
