German B SL P1 & P2

[difiCa]

How did you find German papers this time around? I was positively surprised by P1, which was in my view way easier than any mock papers collected together from past years' questions.

Is this ab initio we're talking about ?

No, the thread title is German B not German ab initio, try making your own thread if you cannot find one

No, Language B like the title suggests. I thought both papers were expectedly easy.

Paper 1 was, in my opinion, the harder one because there was quite a number of words I didn't know. Some I could figure out through context and others I just had to guess the meaning of. The question style was nothing unexpected when looking at past papers and I honestly thought many of them were easy. The only reason why this paper is probably not a guaranteed 7 for me is because of the words I didn't know the meaning of, meaning some of my answers might not have been the best. I liked texts A and B but I didn't like texts C and D very much, although they were interesting to read.

Paper 2 I found dead simple. I did the question on the environment and it was just to write a list of environmental tips. A list, not even an essay or an article. I did that one because environmental tips are easy to make up on the spot (they're also plastered all around my school) and a list doesn't exactly require very developed sentence structures and vocabulary. It seemed like a treasure to me. The only thing I worried about was writing too much! I finished off at around 380 in the 400 word limit so I'm good.

I'm excited to see what I got on them!
