    You never can know really... some years it's a completely random theme so we're best to learn our general phrases :)

    Go into your textbook and find phrases such as "Im Großen und Ganzen" etc, they add a bit of pizzaz to your essay!

    obviously no one can predict for sure whats coming up but apparently there was alot of uproar last year over the Ausserung on pets because every other year it was something topical. I'd say this year it will be something a bit more topical.. Gesundheit is a good bet (swine flu and all that jazz around the time the paper was set) umwelt is always good but i think that came up recently enough??

    Would the economy not be very likely, considering the papers were made last November?

    Haha, 'Wald' means 'forest'. It's 'die Berliner Mauer' I believe. I have a piece of it in my bedroom I got at the Fernsehturm in Berlin, but I'm not sure what phrases I should learn about the wall itself and the issues associated with it. The importance of free speech?
