The task discusses the living situation of university students in Germany and other European countries and invites learners to reflect on their plans after graduation. First, the situation is displayed in an info text and graphics. The learners then mediate the contents to a friend in the form of a voice message and explain it further in a WhatsApp message. Then they compare the situation in Germany to their friends’ and family’s experiences in other countries. In task 4, another text about living with the parents is read and mediated to another friend. Finally, the learners prepare a panel discussion (in groups) about the advantages and disadvantages of living with parents during university. They receive two texts in favour and two texts against living with parents (in English) and watch a video (in German) in order to prepare the discussion.
