Key takeaways
Part 3 tests whether you can plan something with a partner and reach an agreement. You get a task – for example “Plan a trip at the weekend together” – and discuss what, when and where you’ll do it.
It’s about cooperation: making suggestions, responding to your partner’s suggestions and reaching a joint decision at the end. A good contribution is not just “yes” or “no”, 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 an agreement looks incomplete.
Read the planning task and consider what you need to settle (what, when, where).
Make a concrete suggestion (“Wollen wir …?”, “Wie wäre es mit …?”).
Respond to your partner’s suggestions – agree or suggest something else.
Perhaps divide the tasks at the end (“Ich bringe …, kannst du …?”).
Close with a clear agreement (“Gut, dann machen wir das so”).
A short example in the same format: how to plan together and reach an agreement.
Plant gemeinsam einen Ausflug am Sonntag. Klärt, wohin ihr fahrt, wann ihr euch trefft und was ihr mitnehmt.
Example phrases (extract):
Why? The example makes concrete suggestions (“Wollen wir …?”), responds with agreement, settles time and place, divides the tasks and reaches a clear agreement at the end – exactly what’s expected in Part 3.
In Teil 3 plant ihr gemeinsam einen Ausflug am Wochenende.

Without phrases for suggestion and agreement the planning sounds clumsy. Learn a set.
Plan something with your partner – for example a trip or a party – and agree on a solution at the end.
