In TELC C1 Schriftlicher Ausdruck, you write one coherent C1-level text in 70 minutes. The official task type is Text schreiben, usually as an Erörterung, Stellungnahme, or similar argumentative response, and the section is worth 48 points.

A strong answer has a clear thesis, a controlled argument progression, examples, counterarguments, and a conclusion that follows from the discussion. At C1, examiners expect precise connectors, varied syntax, appropriate register, and nuanced evaluation rather than a simple pro-contra list.

Use any quotations, prompts, or short input texts as a springboard, not as a template. Build a natural line of reasoning: define the issue, complicate it with a counterpoint or example, then make your own criteria explicit. Vary paragraph openings and avoid repeating the same stock phrases in every answer.
