Understand the task
Prepare flexible notes—not memorised speeches—about work or study, hobbies, travel, health, home and daily routines. For planning: „Wie wäre es, wenn …?“ (How about if …?) „Das passt mir gut.“ (That works well for me.) „Könnten wir …?“ (Could we …?)
How to prepare
Example: „Ich lerne gern am Morgen, weil ich dann konzentriert bin.“ — I like studying in the morning because I am focused then. Practise asking a follow-up question after every answer and reacting to your partner’s idea.
