Key takeaways
Part 2 tests your vocabulary in context. You read a short text with ten gaps and a list of 15 words (a–o). For each gap you find the matching word from the list.
You may use each word only once, and five words fit no gap. The focus is on connectors (weil, obwohl, deshalb, außerdem), fixed expressions and the right verbs or nouns – the word must fit the gap in meaning and grammar.
The difficulty lies in choosing the right word from many options. If you fill the sure gaps first, you shrink the list and the remaining gaps get easier. Every correct gap scores points; wrong answers are not penalized.
Read the whole text to understand the topic before you insert any words.
Skim the list and roughly sort the words by type (connector, verb, noun).
Fill the gaps you’re sure about first, and cross out the words you’ve used.
Then tackle the uncertain gaps – with fewer words left, the choice narrows.
At the end, re-read the whole text with your words: does everything make sense and sound correct?
A short example in the same format: put the matching words from the list into the gaps.
Liebe Frau Berg, leider muss ich meinen Termin am Montag absagen, ___ (1) ich beruflich verreisen muss. Könnten wir ihn ___ (2) auf Mittwoch verschieben? Vielen Dank für Ihr Verständnis.
Word list (selection): weil · deshalb · vielleicht · trotzdem · außerdem
Why? Gap (1) gives the reason for canceling → “weil” (verb at the end: “weil ich verreisen muss”). Gap (2) makes a cautious suggestion → “vielleicht”. “deshalb/trotzdem/außerdem” fit neither the meaning nor the grammar.
Ich konnte gestern nicht zum Kurs kommen, ___ ich krank war. Heute geht es mir wieder besser.
