I did German today as well! I know a lot of people in my school found it really hard?? I thought it could have been worse but I'm just so unsure of my answers!


I got that they repaired a tractor that's the only thing I'm 100% certain on as I looked it up

Do you remember any answers? Ours did the test but didn't show his answers :frown:


could you give me some questions you are unsure of and ill try remember the answers
i remember for the boyfriend question it was
1 didnt buy her a birthday card
2 doesnt notice when she gets new clothes
3 talks too much about his car
4 it would be better if he didnt already know how wonderful he was

also for that question

it was special because it was his first holiday without his parents

they stayed on a farm

in the end they were too tired so stayed on the farm instead of cycling

the minibus was delayed

she was suprised because her dad had fishing rods and she wasnt interested in fishing

she was willing to sacrifice shopping with her mum because she didnt want her dad to be alone

she was relieved becuase her dad was only joking, he had brought two fishing rods because he wanted a spare one in case one broke.

she was working as a waitress but she had to spend all evening doing the dishes

the large washing machine was broke

her mum thinks its fair because she is new

she thinks her firends should have to do it because they help out at home so have more practice

she wants to give up but she is not willing to give up the school trip to ireland

her mum thinks its only fair that if her friends are working to go to ireland so should sabine

he wants his grandfather to give up smoking

she doesnt want to offend her granny

Thanks. It was the 2nd part of question 1 you had to underline the answer and it was- playing football or shopping or work in garage (something about a garage anyway)

I know I did really badly in the first paper and I have no clue how I did in my controlled assessment so I'm just disappointed tbh, I was tight for time in the first paper too but just about got it finished

I almost ran out of time, I was finishing the last questions when the examiner was saying time up so I didn't get to check over it. How many questions did you not get to answer?
