okay so listen and repeat is really hard

when we first learned about the new toefl most of us thought the listen

and repeat would be like the easiest part of the test

but we were all wrong i've heard from a ton of people who find listen

and repeat to be not only the hardest part of the

new toefl speaking section basically like the hardest part of the whole test

I've had a ton of requests to make a video about this.

I had to think about it and do a bunch of practice tests on my own.

And today I'm going to tell you what I know.

I'm going to give you some strategies.

At the beginning, I'm going to just describe the question, give you some of the insider details about how it's made.

Then I'll give you a sample.

And after the sample, I'll give you some strategies and methods that you can prepare for this test with.

Okay, so basically here's how it works.

You're going to hear seven sentences, one after another.

Each time you hear a sentence, you have to repeat what you heard.

It's going to start with two short sentences, and by short I mean nine to eleven syllables, pretty short.

And then there's going to be three medium sentences between 14 and 16 syllables.

So a little bit longer.

And then at the end, there's going to be two long sentences, which are going to be like 19 to 23 syllables.

Yeah, those are pretty darn long.

So these last two, that's where everybody has like the biggest challenge.

The amount of time you have to repeat it is different for each group.

For the short sentences, you have eight seconds each.

For the medium sentences, 10 seconds each.

And for the long sentences, 12 seconds each.

That's actually more time than you're going to need, which we'll get back to in a minute.

Just keep in mind, it's a different amount depending on how long the sentence is.

And as I've been advising all my students, you got to like understand like the mechanics.

Basically, you're going to hear the sentence, then you have to wait two more seconds.

Then it's going to go beep, and then you talk.

Don't talk before the beep, or you're going to mess it all up.

So again, listen, wait, beep, and then talk.

In terms of scoring, you're scored based on your intelligibility.

intelligibility.

That's a tough word.

And your accuracy.

Intelligibility just means like your pronunciation, whether or not somebody can actually understand you when they listen to you.

And your accuracy is basically how accurate your repetition is.

To give you a little bit more detail, here's the top part of the scoring guide.

You get a score between one and five, and these are the top two scores.

I'll put a link in the video description if you want to read the whole thing.

But basically, to get a score of five, you've got to be perfect, fully intelligible, and you need to have an exact repetition of the prompt.

So like no mistakes at all, 100% accurate, and they need to fully understand what you're saying.

Okay, pretty straightforward.

You can understand that.

To get a score of four, it's almost perfect.

Like I won't read the whole thing.

You can pause the video if you want, but you're allowed to make minor changes in words or grammar that don't really change the meaning of the prompt.

So you could like miss one or two function words.

A function word is like a or the or it, you know, those kind of function words that appear a million times in sentences.

So you could change like one, maybe two, and that's it.

That's all you can do.

you get a four no more than that

or you could miss like one content word

and replace it with something else

so like instead of saying like I don't know pen you might say pencil

and that's that mistake will get you down to four you can make little mistakes of tense aspect

or number so it's like instead of saying computers you might say computer that'll get you down to four

You could transpose words, that is like you mix up the order.

And then you could have one or two problems with pronunciation um just one or two

so not very many basically to get a score of three two one you just make more mistakes um

so you got to be really good uh this is a pretty unforgiving part of the test

yeah you make like one little mistake you're bumped down to four

but but keep in mind that it's a little more complicated than that, and I will get to it when I talk about strategy.

Also, I want to mention

that there will be like an image on the screen that's going to change slightly each time you have a sentence.

So basically, I took this one from the ETS website.

I don't even know what the sentences were about, but it's like something about a desk, obviously.

And then one of the sentences will be about the computer monitor, and then the monitor will be highlighted.

Another sentence might be about like sending mail and then this envelope will be highlighted or another sentence about the clipboard, the clipboard will be highlighted.

I don't know.

Some people say like the image will help you.

I don't know about that.

Like I kind of tend to ignore the image, but like maybe, I guess you could look at the image as you practice

and see if looking at it helps with your memory.

Like, I guess that's what it's there for, so yeah, try it out.

Anyways, I am going to show you a sample question now.

This one won't have images because I'm too lazy to make them, but everything else is going to be just like the real test.

Two short sentences, three medium, two long.

They all have the right length, and there's a pause and a beep.

So, So if you're watching this video for the first time, you can give it a shot.

See if you can repeat them.

Afterwards, I will talk about strategy.

So these ones are about the library.

Here goes.

The library opens at 8 each weekday.

Its second floor is meant for quiet study.

You can borrow laptops at the desk beside the front entrance.

The library cafe serves drinks and snacks until late afternoon.

Upstairs the media room has printers and large computer screens.

On the first floor, students can ask research questions and get help finding books for class projects.

During finals week, the library stays open longer, so students have more time to study and prepare.

Okay, so there's the sample.

Those last two sentences were pretty long and pretty challenging, but it has the right number of syllables, so that's what you can expect to get.

Now, leave a comment down below.

Tell me how you did practicing there, because, yeah, I'm curious, right?

Anyways, in terms of strategy, like there's a few things I want to mention.

And first and foremost, you have to practice.

100

Like ultimately, this is a skill that can be learned and trained and improved upon, right?

101

Like ultimately, that's it.

102

This could be like the only useful tip I give you in this video.

103

You have to practice it.

104

And I don't mean practicing like 10 sentences or 20.

105

or even 50.

106

I mean, practice 100 sentences, 200, 300.

107

I mean, each one, you could do a whole set in like two minutes.

108

So there's nothing stopping you from doing like 20 sets a day between now and the time you take the test, right?

109

Sample questions are like pretty easy to find.

110

I've got some on my website.

111

I'll put a link.

112

There's other websites like My Speaking Score has a ton.

113

I'll put a link there.

114

But even if you just Google like TOEFL, listen and repeat, there's some dudes out there that are putting up like 100 videos.

115

The quality of those are a little iffy, but it doesn't matter because you're just practicing this skill.

116

So go ahead and just use whatever you can find.

117

And then also you can do general shadowing.

118

If you don't know what I mean by shadowing, just look it up.

119

There's YouTube videos about it.

120

But basically shadowing is just when you listen to a thing and then just kind of repeat like what you hear.

121

It's not like TOEFL listen and repeat style.

122

It's just you're repeating anything.

123

I used to teach someone who did this to prepare for the old TOEFL

124

and he said he would just sit down

125

and watch like shows on Netflix every night and he would just repeat like all the dialogue in the show.

126

That was his approach and then he got a really good TOEFL speaking score.

127

So consider that.

128

Sample questions, general shadow as much as possible.

129

Next up, a real like strategy might be to like master the first five.

130

Remember how I said there's two short, three medium, two long?

131

Get those easy points.

132

Make sure that you like really master those first five.

133

And so look, look, you're graded on a scale of like one to five, and they all seem to have equal weight when it comes to your final score.

134

So if you get

135

five five five five five and then three

136

and three on those two hard ones you get three you're still getting like 4.5 out of five

137

which is an amazing score and listen

138

if you really like shit the bed on those last two

139

and you get five five five five five two two you're

140

still getting four out of five as your total score

141

which is still pretty good and i think most people will be happy with.

142

And look, getting two is not hard.

143

You can get two.

144

I assure you of that.

145

If you're watching this video, you can get two.

146

So just keep that in mind.

147

Get those easy points, especially the first two.

148

And then, yeah, those middle ones are kind of hard, but if you really practice, you can get those.

149

Keep that in mind.

150

Next up, as you're practicing, it's probably easier to sort of chunk the sentences.

151

Instead of just trying to remember them word by word, just try to remember the sentences in terms of chunks.

152

And what I mean is just like logical collections of words.

153

So one of them in the practice we just did was you can borrow laptops at the desk beside the front entrance.

154

Try to remember it not just like word by word, but first remember you can borrow laptops at the desk beside the front entrance.

155

So like, and it's logical because like the first chunk is just the action that's gonna be done.

156

And then the second chunk is the location.

157

Same for this next one.

158

Upstairs, the media room, that's the first chunk is kind of the location.

159

And then has printers and large computer screens.

160

That's like the description or the action.

161

And then even for the really long ones, you can kind of logically chunk it.

162

During finals week, that's the time period.

163

The library stays open longer.

164

I guess that's the thing that's happening.

165

So students have more time to study and prepare.

166

That's the reason.

167

So you're just chunking it out that way.

168

Now, it's not always going to be easy to chunk these in kind of logical, you know, blocks.

169

sometimes the sentences just aren't really designed that way

170

but it is a good approach as you practice i want

171

to encourage you to experiment a bit with taking your time

172

this is how i answer them um after i hear it i wait for the beep

173

and then i wait a little bit longer

174

and as i'm waiting i say it in my head and then i say it out loud

175

because I've got like eight or 10 or 12 seconds, but it only takes, you know, six or seven seconds to actually say the sentence.

176

So I do feel it's okay to wait a little bit and get it all organized and then say it out loud.

177

You could even do that, you know, before the beep.

178

Don't feel obligated to speak as soon as it goes beep.

179

You're not going to be penalized if you wait a little bit.

180

Now, like, I hesitate to give this advice because some people, they're probably saying, oh no, if I wait, I'm going to forget it.

181

I got to get it out as long as it's fresh in my mind.

182

Okay, that's fine.

183

What I'm saying is try it out.

184

See if this works for you.

185

Which brings me to the last strategies, experiment.

186

As you're practicing, find out what works best for you.

187

Like everybody's memory kind of works a little bit different.

188

So just see what works best for you.

189

Try it out.

190

You know, for instance, when I'm doing the really long ones, I'm sort of mentally repeating it,

191

the first chunk, even before the second chunk is finished.

192

And it's a weird mental process

193

but I've sort of tried to be mindful of how my brain works when I'm remembering and repeating things.

194

And that's how it goes.

195

So even before the sentence finishes, I'm sort of repeating it in my head.

196

And some of my students do the same.

197

It works for them.

198

But for others, maybe not.

199

So you should experiment a ton.

200

See what strategies work best for you.

201

Like some students, I didn't mention it because I really don't like the idea.

202

Some of them are actually taking notes, right?

203

They kind of scribble down some of the key words, like as they're listening and even in that sort of that break before the beep.

204

It seems to work for them, I guess.

205

So that's something you can experiment with.

206

Just try different ways of remembering things and different ways of repeating things.

207

It'll help, I promise.

208

All right, so I am going to leave it at that.

209

That's all.

210

If you have any questions, you can leave a comment down below.

211

I like to come by every few days and I answer all the questions if possible.

212

You can also find my website, which is tofellresources.com, where you can sign up for one-on-one lessons or essay evaluations by email,

213

or you can just sit and read practice questions and guides that I've published there.

214

That's about it.

215

I am I'm gonna make some more videos in the next little while.

216

I'll probably put up one video next week

217

but on the 20th I am going to give a speech about English tests in London.

218

so after that I'm going to take a little break from the YouTube channel

219

but maybe I'll post some pictures from London in the community page anyways

220

so that's all for now

221

but again it's great to connect with you guys I always love reading your comments

222

and questions so feel free to just like leave them down below

223

and if you've watched all the way to this end of the video, leave a comment telling me so just so you know that people are tuning in all the way through.

224

All right, that's it.

225

But take care, guys, and I will talk to you again soon.
