Preparation for B2 Problem Solving (Dialogue)

Purpose of the Task

In the dialogue part of a B2 speaking exam, you receive a short description of an everyday situation in which two people need to make a decision together. Within a few minutes, you demonstrate how you develop ideas in German, compare arguments, and formulate a result. What matters is not only correct language use, but especially cooperation in conversation.

Recommended Four-Step Method

  1. Read – Go through the text calmly and mark key words.
  2. Exchange – Present your suggestion and ask your partner for feedback.
  3. Adapt – Weigh pros and cons, include concrete examples.
  4. Close – Summarize the compromise and suggest a next step.

Common Topic Ideas

  • Customer complaint due to late delivery
  • Planning a summer event with a limited budget
  • New working hours for the team
  • Relocating to a larger office

Helpful Phrases

  • “What do you think about …?”
  • “An advantage would be that …, but a disadvantage is …”
  • “Maybe we can find a middle ground by …”
  • “So, shall we agree on …?”

Expert Tip from Olena

Olena, founder of this learning platform, develops all exercises in cooperation with teachers and examiners from four continents. Her advice: “Prepare only two keywords per topic. That way, you stay flexible and respond authentically to your partner instead of delivering a memorized monologue.”

Additional Professional Input

  • Dr. Marina Roth (Coach): Open questions like “What’s your view on that?” help keep the dialogue flowing.
  • Felix Duarte (Consultant): A short example from work life boosts credibility.

Learner Feedback

  • “The mini exercises helped me find arguments more quickly.” – Lara, tech industry
  • “With time training, I now have enough room to ask follow-up questions.” – Jonas, healthcare

Small Home Exercise

Write down a random everyday topic like “Air conditioning too loud.” Set a timer for five minutes and simulate a dialogue out loud: first suggestion, then counterargument, then compromise. Repeat with new topics daily – it strengthens your structure and timing.

Those who practice regularly, use real-life examples, and apply flexible language strategies will confidently approach the exam and score well in the dialogue section.

Євгенія Мамчур: „I am very satisfied that I found this website one month before my exam – exactly at the time when I was ready to prepare intensively. During this period, I completed almost all the practice tasks in all categories, carefully analyzed my mistakes and read the explanations. And how great was my surprise when about 60% of the tasks in the exam came directly from this site! I was very happy, because I already knew them and even remembered the correct answers for most of them. A big advantage for me was that I could easily translate the tasks and answers into my native language, which significantly improved my understanding. The website is excellent for preparation – I highly recommend it!“
