SHEET 01 · ÖSD A1

Lesen: Zuordnungsaufgaben

Situation → Anzeige · Text → Bild — the matching logic that scores 20 of 30 points

Two of the three Lesen tasks are MATCHING, not a/b/c: you write a NUMBER (1–6), and one item is always a decoy. That changes the strategy completely — you don't pick the best answer, you find the ONLY ad that fits and eliminate the rest. 5 situations + 5 text-picture pairs = 20 of the 30 Lesen points.

THE RULES — AND WHERE THE EXAM TESTS THEM

  • Match KEY nouns, not vibes

    „billig telefonieren“ → search ads for Cent/Minute, Anrufe

    EXAM:Lesen A1: the decoy ad usually shares ONE topic word with the situation but fails the key need.

  • Time words are the trap

    „am Sonntag“ vs „Mo–Fr 9–18“

    EXAM:Lesen A1 + A2: half the decoys die on a single time word — check Öffnungszeiten first.

  • Cross out what you used

    Situation A → Anzeige 3 ⇒ Anzeige 3 is DONE

    EXAM:Each ad fits exactly one situation; three matches automatically reveal the last two.

  • The 6th ad/picture is the decoy — decide LAST

    5 matched, 1 left over ⇒ check the leftover isn't a better fit

    EXAM:Lesen A1 and A3 both have exactly one extra — never leave two candidates undecided.

  • A2 is Ja/NEIN — read the question polarity

    „Muss man…?“ vs „Darf man…?“

    EXAM:Lesen A2: 6 items over 3 ads; negation in the question flips the expected answer.

  • In A3, the text's PLACE decides the picture

    Krankenhaus / Fußgängerzone / Flughafen-Bus

    EXAM:Lesen A3 texts are mini-signs; the location noun maps to the picture scene.

MINI-DRILL — COVER THE ANSWERS FIRST

  • Sie brauchen morgen ein Fahrrad. Ad says: „Reparatur in 24 Stunden“. Fit?

    Yes — the key need (rad ready tomorrow) matches the 24-hour promise.

  • „Kostet das Ticket mehr als 40 Euro?“ Ad: „39 Euro im Internet, 41 am Bahnhof“. Answer?

    Depends on WHERE — the ad splits the price; read which channel. (Modellsatz's own trap.)

  • Four situations matched, two ads left (2 and 6). Next move?

    Test each leftover ad against BOTH remaining situations — one fits, one is the decoy.

  • Text mentions „Rauchen verboten im Büroraum“. Which picture detail seals it?

    A no-smoking sign in an office scene — the LOCATION (Büro) is the decisive element.

THE TRAPS — WHERE POINTS DIE

  • !Writing the WRONG NUMBER because you matched on a shared topic word, not the key need — the decoys are engineered to share one word.
  • !In A2, marking BOTH Ja and Nein = 0 points (official rule). One clean cross per question.
  • !Changing an answer on the Auswertungsbogen without fully erasing the old cross — the scanner reads two crosses as zero.
