Hi guys! Can you please post any questions you've been practicing which you think are particularly hard?

Does anyone have any predictions on what theme the translation might be on e.g. immigration or school?

Hi, I've gone back and looked at all the papers

...

Specimen paper- Die Welt der Arbeit
2018- Die Positive Auswirkun von Immigration
2019- Die Median und Die Welt der Arbeit
2020- Das Bildungssystem
2021- Eregnisse vor der Wiedervereinigung
2022- Die Rolle von Festen und Traditionen
2023- Die Positive Auswirkungen von Immigration und Die Welt der Arbeit
2024- Musik

...

So from that the topics which have never come up are-

•

Natur und Umwelt

•

Die Herausforderungen von Immigration und Intergration

•

Immigration has come up so this has been touched on but hasn't been a whole translation.

•

Deutschland seit der Wiedervereinigung

•

Die Gesellschaft der DDR vor der Wiedervereinigung.

I think they could easily do a translation which actually covers the last 2 topics.

Neither would I. I think that it could probably be anything other than Musik though tbh because they have touched on almost every subtopic but Natur and I feel like exam board sometimes do a double bluff because at this piont there are very few topics which they haven't tested on.

I think the grade boundaries will not be high - most people in my school did not say the paper went well...

was actually pretty decent!! found the reading to be the worst part for the first time ever but the listening was surprisingly okay and the translation was gorgeous
