Writing Exam Advice


You will have to write 100-120 words on EITHER school or your freetime. You must consequently prepare both!
Here are two possible answers.
When writing your own, consider the various constructions used and see if you can adapt them for youself.
E.g
Wenn ich mehr Geld hätte, würde ich jeden Tag zum Strand gehen.
( If I had more money, I would go to the beach every day)
Wenn ich mehr Geld hätte, würde ich _____________________
Now you can substitute you own ending (with verb at end)
(If I had more money, I would ___________)
