Give your opinion.
Choose one of the following statements and write about 60 words. Note: These statements contain only some possible arguments. You can also use a different kind of argumentation. It is not possible to live your life without plastic. I partly agree with this statement.
I think we can try to refuse the use of single-use items such as straws or plastic cups and make sure to buy reusable products. However, I think it is impossible to do it completely without plastic because too many products are packaged in plastic.
In the end, I certainly believe we all should try to reduce plastic and be more aware of what kind of products we buy.
Social media has advantages like keeping in touch with long-distance friends. The disadvantages, however, are that on social media only perfect things are shared. The social media reality is often mistakenly taken as reality. All in all, using social media on a healthy basis can help you stay in touch with friends, and brings joy and distraction, but I disagree that it is good for everybody.
In my opinion, replacing books with tablets is a step towards the future and good for the environment. Fewer trees need to be felled to produce new books. Another point is that students mustn’t carry heavy books to school anymore and lessons would be more intuitive. On the other side, however, schools need good WIFI infrastructures to allow the use of tablets, which is a big problem in many German schools.

Write about 120 words. I have recently read part four of the Harry Potter series.
This book is about a magical world in which witches and wizards live amongst the non-magical society, the “muggles”. Every year the main characters Harry Potter, Ron Weasley and Hermoine Granger, experience many adventures. In the fourth part of the series, they visit the magical school called Hogwarts as fourth graders. This year the special Three Wizards Tournament takes place at Hogwarts in which only students over the age of 17 are allowed to participate. However, somebody put Harry Potter’s name in the Goblet of Fire, and he became the second Hogwarts’ champion which put him at high risk.
I like this book very much because I think this magical world is exciting and thrilling. I liked the way it is written and can’t wait to read part five.

Write about 120 words. Hi, my name is Lisa and I am sixteen years old.
I am about to finish school in two months, and I would enjoy spending a year abroad learning about the English culture, improving my English, and meeting new people. In my leisure time, I’m very into sports, for example, cycling, swimming or climbing. I also love to travel around and meet new people. I can fit in easily in new environments and love to try and experience new things. I have one older brother and a sister, so I know how to share and am used to siblings being around. I have been to England before, enjoyed it a lot, and would love to experience it from a different perspective. I'm looking forward to getting to know you.
Best regards,
Lisa
