2) A useful paragraph plan
Use four short paragraphs or clear sections: purpose and opinion → reasons → another view → suggestion and conclusion.
- På den ene side …
- På den anden side …
- Det betyder, at …
- Alt i alt …
3) Final checklist
Check the task, not just grammar: all prompt points → clear opinion → two reasons → linking words → suitable ending. Leave time to check verb position, endings, and full stops.
4) Exam strategy
When time is short, write clear sentences you can control. A complete, organised answer is more useful than a complicated answer with missing parts.
Speaking tasks
Say these out loud. Use Listen when you want a model.
Make a plan
Write five keywords before you start: opinion, reason one, reason two, other view, suggestion.
Link the ideas
Use for det første, desuden, på den anden side, derfor, and alt i alt.
Proofread
Save time to check that every prompt point is answered and the message has a clear ending.
