Speaking - answers Fresh air!

Kommst du gut mit ... aus?
Do you get on well with...?

This is the make-or-break question! This is how you should answer it:

Ich komme

sehr gut gut nicht so gut

mit

meinem Vater meiner Mutter meinen Eltern

aus, weil...

I get on

very well quite well not very well

with

my father my mother my parents

because...

Try hard to not forget aus at the end of the phrase! So many candidates do...

It's even better if you can then say why you get on/don't get on with someone.

e.g. "Ich komme gut mit meiner Schwester aus, weil sie hilfsbereit ist."
(I get on well with my sister because she is helpful.)

REMEMBER: WEIL SENDS THE VERB TO THE END!

The examiners know that you can use weil. They would be so happy if you could use obwohl (although), as well.

e.g. "Ich komme gut mit meinem Vater aus, obwohl er sehr streng ist."
(I get on well with my father although he is strict.)
