Goethe B2 Schreiben: Forum Post & Formal Message
B2 writing asks you to express and justify a position and communicate appropriately in a professional context. Clear reasoning and task fulfilment matter as much as sophisticated vocabulary.
Quick orientation: This page is a practical Klarweg guide. For current exam rules, admission conditions or official assessment criteria, use the linked primary source.
Understand the task
Use a focused structure: introduce the issue, state your position, develop two reasons or examples, acknowledge a counterpoint if useful, and conclude. For formal messages, identify the purpose immediately and keep the register consistent. Connectors: einerseits, andererseits, darüber hinaus, daher, dennoch.
How to prepare
Useful frame: „Meiner Ansicht nach …, weil …“ — In my view … because … . „Ein weiterer wichtiger Aspekt ist …“ — Another important aspect is … . Avoid filler phrases that do not advance your argument.
