1According to the Hamburg ESA Deutsch 2026 Regelungen, what kind of Textgrundlage do the tasks predominantly use?
A.A pragmatic text, possibly with discontinuous elements, or a set of pragmatic texts
B.A set of Pflichtlektüren novels from a verbindliches Schwerpunktthema
C.Only lyric poetry with metrische Analyse
D.Only dramatische Szenen from classical Trauerspiele
Explanation: ESA Deutsch 2026 states that tasks refer predominantly to a Textgrundlage that is a pragmatic text, possibly with discontinuous shares (e.g. Schaubilder, Tabellen), or a Zusammenstellung of pragmatic texts. No verbindliche Schwerpunktthemen are set.
2What are discontinuous text elements that may appear in the ESA Deutsch Textgrundlage?
A.Only footnotes in a novel edition
B.Schaubilder or Tabellen, for example
C.Only stage directions in a drama
D.Only rhyme schemes
Explanation: The Regelungen list discontinuous shares such as Schaubilder and Tabellen as possible parts of the pragmatic Textgrundlage. Candidates must retrieve information from continuous and discontinuous material.
3Under Kompetenzbereich C (Lesen), what should Prüflinge be able to do with continuous and discontinuous texts?
A.Memorize every word for verbatim recitation
B.Translate every chart into Latin hexameters
C.Ermitteln Informationen in both continuous and discontinuous texts
D.Ignore tables and read only continuous prose
Explanation: The ESA Kompetenzen for Lesen include locating information in continuous and discontinuous texts, using text orientation aids, and applying reading strategies by purpose.
4In D.3.2 (pragmatische Texte), what distinction should Prüflinge make in texts?
A.Meter vs. rhyme only
B.Nominativ vs. Akkusativ case labels only
C.Author biography vs. publisher imprint only
D.Information versus obvious valuation (Wertung)
Explanation: For pragmatic texts, candidates must distinguish Information from offensichtlicher Wertung and also recognize presentation forms such as information vs. entertainment.
5A newspaper report states facts about recycling rates, then adds: „Das ist eindeutig zu wenig.“ What is the second sentence mainly doing?
A.Expressing an evaluative judgment (Wertung)
B.Providing a neutral definition of recycling
C.Listing raw data without stance
D.Naming a grammatical Satzglied
Explanation: The clause labels the rates as clearly insufficient—an evaluative Wertung. ESA Leseverstehen expects candidates to separate factual reporting from such judgments.
6Which reading move best matches „sich mithilfe textueller Lesehilfen einen Überblick verschaffen“?
A.Skip headings and start in the middle paragraph
B.Use headings, captions, and layout cues to orient before close reading
C.Translate the whole text into English first
D.Count commas only
Explanation: ESA Lesen competencies include orienting in and between texts of varying complexity and using textual reading aids to gain an overview before deeper work.
7A task asks you to find three reasons a city gives for expanding bike lanes, stated in a flyer. Which operator best fits?
A.interpretieren the flyer’s metaphors only
B.verfassen a new bike-lane law
C.nennen the reasons given in the text
D.beurteilen without reading the flyer
Explanation: Nennen means stating something briefly and precisely—here, extracting the flyer’s listed reasons (Anforderungsbereich I). Interpretation or free law-writing would overshoot the ask.
8When comparing two pragmatic texts on the same topic, what does vergleichen require?
A.Copy one text and ignore the other
B.Only count word frequency
C.Only check spelling of titles
D.Work out similarities and differences on given or chosen aspects and present them in a structured way
Explanation: The ESA operator vergleichen means working out Gemeinsamkeiten und Unterschiede regarding given or self-chosen aspects and presenting them in structured form.
9Why might a table of monthly youth club attendance be included beside a short report?
A.As a discontinuous element that can support information retrieval and overview
B.To replace all continuous reading forever
C.Because ESA 2026 forbids all numbers
D.Only to test calligraphy
Explanation: Discontinuous elements such as Tabellen can appear with pragmatic texts so candidates practice retrieving and relating information across formats.
10D.3 says Prüflinge should justify their judgment sachlich and draw on Textbeispiele. What does that mean in practice?
A.State a gut feeling with no reference to the passage
B.Give a reasoned judgment and support it with examples or quotes from the text
C.Attack the author personally
D.Only list page numbers without a claim
Explanation: Candidates develop their own Deutung, cite sources when taking over foreign text, and ground judgments with Textbeispiele—not with unsupported opinion or personal attacks.
