Example task and answer
Task
Write a forum contribution about car-free city centres. State your view, explain reasons, name alternatives, and discuss an advantage.
Example answer
Autofreie Innenstädte können die Lebensqualität deutlich verbessern. Wenn weniger Autos fahren, sinken Lärm und Luftverschmutzung. Voraussetzung ist jedoch ein zuverlässiger öffentlicher Nahverkehr. Außerdem brauchen Menschen mit eingeschränkter Mobilität passende Ausnahmen. Insgesamt überwiegen für mich die Vorteile, sofern die Alternativen bezahlbar und gut ausgebaut sind.
