Two B1 email examples offer a comparison of personal and semi-formal correspondence.
Learning aim: Compare choices of register rather than memorising a complete answer.
Teacher word targets are practice suggestions, not a mandatory length in the cited rubric. A video with two email examples does not mean you must write two answers in the exam.
Liebe Mia,
vielen Dank für deine Nachricht. Am Samstag kann ich dich um zehn Uhr am Bahnhof abholen. Danach könnten wir gemeinsam zum Markt gehen, weil du dort regionale Spezialitäten probieren kannst. Falls es regnet, besuchen wir stattdessen das Stadtmuseum. Sag mir bitte, ob dir der Vorschlag gefällt.
Liebe Grüße
AlexThe suggestion includes a time, a reason and an alternative. Notice the verb at the end of the weil clause. This is a short technique example, not a complete four-point exam response.
Start with set 1: plan a friend's visit. Write your own reply before opening its model answer, then compare how each of the four points is developed.
Learn to turn a formal writing situation into a purposeful information request or complaint. Compare the alternatives before choosing the one you can develop most clearly.
Choose one of two writing alternatives, write at least 150 words and allow 30 minutes. Develop three of four Leitpunkte, or two plus a relevant aspect of your own.
The rubric assesses Aufgabenbewältigung, Kommunikative Gestaltung and Formale Richtigkeit. Relevant development, register, connections and accurate language matter together.

Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren,
ich interessiere mich für Ihren Wochenendkurs zur Fotografie. Da ich im Schichtdienst arbeite, möchte ich vor der Anmeldung wissen, ob die Termine bereits feststehen. Außerdem würde ich gern erfahren, ob eine eigene Kamera erforderlich ist oder ob Geräte ausgeliehen werden können. Diese Information hilft mir, die zusätzlichen Kosten einzuschätzen.
Mit freundlichen Grüßen
Alex WeberEach question has a practical reason. Da introduces a verb-final clause; außerdem adds a distinct issue. This excerpt demonstrates development, but is deliberately shorter than a complete exam answer.
Try set 1's course enquiry after the information-request lessons, or its desk-delivery complaint after the letter walkthrough. Compare only your chosen alternative with the corresponding model.
Develop a nuanced position rather than a sequence of unsupported opinions. These lessons address standard telc Deutsch C1, not C1 Hochschule, C1 Beruf or DTB.
Choose one of two argumentative topics, allow 70 minutes and aim for approximately 350 words in the standard telc Deutsch C1 writing task.
The four evaluation dimensions are Aufgabengerechtheit, Korrektheit, Repertoire and Kommunikative Gestaltung: appropriateness to the task, accuracy, range and communicative organisation.

The selected C1 series refers to the standard C1 model test. Do not substitute Hochschule or Beruf task instructions when practising this course.
Flexible Arbeitszeiten können die Vereinbarkeit von Beruf und Privatleben verbessern, weil Beschäftigte ihre Aufgaben an persönliche Verpflichtungen anpassen können. Zwar erschwert die zeitliche Flexibilität gelegentlich die Abstimmung im Team; verbindliche gemeinsame Besprechungszeiten können dieses Problem jedoch begrenzen. Entscheidend ist daher nicht allein die Freiheit der Zeiteinteilung, sondern auch eine verlässliche Organisation der Zusammenarbeit.The paragraph develops a benefit, acknowledges an objection and proposes a condition under which the benefit remains defensible. It is an argument-building excerpt, not a complete 350-word essay.
Use set 1's four-day-week topic to practise a qualified position. Write before reading the model, then compare the reasoning and paragraph roles rather than copying its wording.
Practise replying to all four Leitpunkte in one email. Choose a suitable greeting and register, develop each point with a useful detail, then compare your reply with a model and the official rubric.
In the cited standard model test, choose one of two alternatives and write at least 150 words in 30 minutes. Cover three of four Leitpunkte, or two plus a relevant aspect of your own.
Introduce the issue, develop supported arguments, consider a counterargument and finish with a justified position. For standard telc C1, choose one of two topics and aim for approximately 350 words in 70 minutes.
