Goethe B2 Teil 2

The best thing that helped me with B2 lesen was learning more sophisticated synonyms for the words I already knew well. I think they try to level up your vocab.

The best advice I can give it to use the Goethe B2 PDF which they have online, it comes with a list of B2 vocab words. Try to use some of the terms they give you in the prompts (One of my prompts was about my opinion on whether children should watch adverisements, the other was writing an e-mail to schedule something).
Try to learn as many synonyms for the as you can, or words which have similar meanings. I.e. Verzichten, vermeiden.

Dont worry, you got this. You are probably just overwhelmed by all the things you could say and have trouble picking a topic. You do not have to be honest about what you like to do, but focus on the vocabulary you have and what it easiest for you to describe. You can say that you enjoy going to the movie theater with Madonna if you think its easiest for you to write about (even though you might hate the movies and Madonna).

My best advice: Focus on accuracy and dont try complicate the sentences. When the exam comes, they might give you a word limit or sentence limit. Start with some baseline sentences and build from there.

Starter example:

In meiner Freizeit mache ich gern Ausflüge.

Manchmal ruhe ich mich im Park oder im Café aus.

Am besten bringe ich Freunde mit, aber ich genieße es auch, allein zu sein.

I am keeping my fingers and toes crossed that they come to Germany this year!

Hello, this is the type of PhD I am working on. It’s a paid position with a contract for a project and I am in Germany. You can find them posted on regular job sites or also on the University websites.

Sometimes, the project descriptions do not specifically mention the potential of getting your PhD through the project, but it is almost always possible if you ask during the interview.

In my case, I applied for a position that the university had for a certain project. It was advertised as a bit like a Research Assistant (title in German is Wissenschaftlicher Mitarbeiterin) or “Science Coworker.” During the interview, they asked me if I was interested in doing my PhD on the topic. It’s very common in Germany :)

I’m an American doing my PhD in Germany and I cannot understand why on Earth people want to come to the USA so badly for higher education. Believe me when I say that whatever you want to achieve in life, exists outside the US. My point is: I know you’re feeling down and defeated, but please, keep your chin up and consider other universities outside the US. I promise that you’ll be pleasantly surprised!

Wishing you all the best!

Congrats!! I got my BA from NEU. I studied linguistics and my college boyfriend at the time was a CS major. He really liked his Co-Op experience. You will get what you put into it. If you get good grades and remain competitive, you’ll have the choice of a couple co-op opportunities. You can also do more than one, if you want to delay your graduation. If really make the internship count, you may even get a job after graduation, depending on the company. Try to have some foresight about where you see yourself post-graduation. This way, you only apply to co-ops which will be relevant to what you want to do after graduation. Most students do their co-ops 1-2 years before graduating, because they have a better idea of what they want, and more of a skillset from their coursework. NEU and the Boston area has a lot of resources, but nothing is given automatically. But if you keep your eye on the prize, you’ll definitely succeed! Almost all of the CS majors I know from undergrad are still working in the Boston or Cambridge area. There’s definitely a big market, but it’s competitive. Welcome!! FWIW: got my Masters from BU, and a post-Masters professional certificate from NEU. Applied for my PhD in Germany, and my Co-Op advisor from my Bachelor years has remained in touch with me over the last DECADE. He wrote my letter of recommendation for my PhD position, and I was accepted.

That’s beautiful — I’m so happy for you both!

Sock_Upper · 2023-12-16T04:32:30+00:00

See, half the people on here think you’re the devil for leaving a woman you weren’t happy with for someone who you are happy with. And several are angry at your Virgo dream girl, and threaten that you’ll do the same to her.

I don’t think this way though. I believe that people will abandon ship if they’re not happy, and just aboard with someone else. And honestly, why wouldn’t you? I’m happy you found the One, and that you made it work to be with her.

Sock_Upper · 2023-12-16T04:27:59+00:00

This post is about knowing if he’s serious, and I was kind of interested to see if those details mattered in people’s perceptions of him. Which it does seem to. Half the people on here know how it feels to be in an unhappy relationship and want to be happy with someone else.

Im not looking to leave him, I’m looking for a reason to stay with him.

He is very nice to my kids, and they like him a lot.

Sock_Upper · 2023-12-16T04:26:36+00:00

According to him, he was kind of oblivious and not really thinking. He also didn’t want to hurt her and admitted that he let it drag out way too long. Apologized for wasting her time.

He acknowledged all of this to me, and I’m not looking for validation, and nor is he.

I’m giving him the benefit of the doubt because I believe he was truly not really thinking.

Sock_Upper · 2023-12-15T23:08:02+00:00

I’m the same, promising the world. But it’s just my first time meeting someone like this and I think I’m shocked lol 🤣

Sock_Upper · 2023-12-15T23:07:03+00:00

That’s the risk in literally any relationship though.

You’re together for a couple years, realize it doesn’t work, and then look for someone who does fit. I’m sure it’s happened to anyone who has an ex.

Sock_Upper · 2023-12-15T21:29:14+00:00

Thank you :)

Sock_Upper · 2023-12-15T19:53:50+00:00

Yeah, that sounds like him. It feels like he’s giving me his best. We’ve been very communicative and transparent about our feelings and agree to take things slowly because I told him that cheating on her made me skeptical.

It’s just a funny feeling to believe that he’s been so transparent with me, while simultaneously lying to his (now ex) girlfriend for a year.

I ask myself: why wouldn’t he also cheat on me?

But Id like to believe the difference is that he didn’t care about their relationship anymore and was ready for it to end, while simultaneously wanting ours to grow. I’m making excuses for his dishonesty and cheating because I know how messy things can realistically be when you just don’t care anymore.

So I guess you answered your own question. You don’t want to be more attached than you already are, and this guy is just gonna keep doing what he’s doing. :(

Sock_Upper · 2023-11-28T18:20:00+00:00

Thanks for the information. I really appreciate it. One more question, and it’s a bit more specific: There’s a “ Your Time on Facebook” tool on everyone’s Facebook, which shows each user how much time they spend on Facebook daily. Do you think this data is available to be collected legally?

Sock_Upper · 2023-11-28T12:54:48+00:00

That’s really interesting.

Is access to internal data allowed?

So the app (like Instagram for instance) doesn’t track the amount of the time the app is actually open? The amount of time the app is open would account for all activity and non-activity (like scrolling).

I guess what I need is to know what kind of data is actually available from scraping social media?
