# Goethe B1 Listening Part 3 – Conversation

> Listening Part 3 of the Goethe-Zertifikat B1: hear a private conversation and solve 7 true/false tasks. You hear it only once. Strategy and a worked example.

## Key takeaways

- You hear a private conversation between two people and decide for 7 statements: true or false?
- You hear the conversation only once – follow the statements in order.

- Task type: True/False
- Focus: Understanding conversations

## What this part tests

Part 3 tests whether you understand a private everyday conversation between two people – for example two friends talking about plans, experiences or opinions. You decide for seven statements whether they are true or false.

It’s about following the natural conversation and grasping concrete statements and opinions. The statements follow the order of the conversation. Importantly, you hear the conversation only once.

A false statement often picks up a word from the conversation but reproduces it wrongly, or confuses who says what. Watch who is speaking. Every correct decision scores points; wrong answers are not penalized.

**What you practice:** Understanding conversations, Telling the speakers apart, Deciding true/false

## How to approach it

1. Before listening, read all seven statements and mark the key words.
2. Listen to the conversation and follow the statements in order.
3. Watch who says what and who holds which opinion.
4. Compare each statement with what you hear: is the meaning right?
5. Mark your answer right away, because you hear only once.

## Example task with answer

A short example in the same format: you hear a conversation and decide whether the statement is true.

**Du hörst (sinngemäß):** „Fährst du dieses Jahr wieder in die Berge?" – „Nein, diesmal möchte ich ans Meer. In den Bergen war ich schon oft, jetzt brauche ich mal Strand und Ruhe."

- Statement: “The person is going to the mountains this year.”
  - Answer: False (Falsch) — The person says “diesmal möchte ich ans Meer” (this time I want the sea) and has been “in den Bergen schon oft”. The statement is wrong – false.

## Practice: test yourself

Du hörst (sinngemäß) ein Gespräch: „Hast du das neue Café am Markt schon ausprobiert?" – „Ja, der Kuchen ist toll, aber es ist immer sehr voll. Ich gehe lieber früh am Morgen hin."

- Is the statement true or false? Statement: “The person likes going to the café in the morning.”
  - r) True (Richtig)
  - f) False (Falsch)
  - Answer: r — The person says “Ich gehe lieber früh am Morgen hin” because it’s otherwise busy. The statement reflects that correctly – true.

## Common mistakes

- **Mixing up the people:** Keep track of who says what – the statement often concerns a particular person.
- **Same word, wrong statement:** A word from the conversation doesn’t make the statement right. Grasp the meaning.
- **Losing the thread:** With only one listening you can’t get stuck. Follow the statements in order.
- **Leaving boxes blank:** No answer means a guaranteed zero. Decide even if you have to guess.

## Tips

- Read the statements thoroughly before listening – you hear only once.
- Watch who says what in the conversation.
- Practice listening to natural everyday conversations.

## Frequently asked questions

### How many tasks does listening Part 3 have?

Seven true/false tasks on a private conversation.

Who says what, and the meaning of the statement – not just single words.

Listen to everyday conversations and practice telling the speakers apart. In a Prepliq mock you practice this with instant scoring.
