Pratica di Shadowing: TOEFL Speaking - Listen and Repeat Practice Test (2026 version) - Impara a parlare inglese con i video
Creazione lezione...
1
I understood every word she said.
2
I still couldn't say it back.
3
That's the comment I see most under the speaking videos on this channel, and it's a fair description of what this task does to people.
4
You understood the sentence and understanding it was never the hard part.
5
The hard part is holding all of it in your head for a few seconds and handing it back with nothing missing.
6
Let's find out where your limit actually is.
7
I'm gonna say one sentence once, don't write anything when the timer starts say it back out loud.
8
Students who finish the tour early can wait for the group near the side entrance.
9
14 words.
10
If you lost anything, I'd bet it was the end near the site entrance or an article.

14
Grab some water and find a room where you can talk out loud because this only works if you actually speak.
15
Speaking is the last section on the 2026 test.
16
It's about eight minutes long and it holds 11 questions across two tasks.
17
7 of those 11 questions are listen and repeat and the other 4 are the interview.
18
On test day, it runs like this.
19
You get a short scenario, something like, you're learning to work at a bookshop.
20
Listen to your manager and repeat what she says.
21
Then 7 sentences arrive one at a time.
22
You hear each one exactly once.
23
There's no reading at first, there's no preparation time at all and a clock on screen tells you how long you have to speak.
24
The sentences start short and get longer as you go.
25
For this training video, I'm fixing every window at 10 seconds
26
so you settle into a rhythm and stop thinking about the clock.
27
One more thing before round one, the sentence stays hidden while you speak, exactly like the real task.
28
It only appears afterwards, so you can check yourself.
29
Don't read ahead, you'll be cheating your own practice.
30
Let's warm up.
31
All six sentences belong to the same scenario because that's how the real task works.
32
You're being trained at the campus library and the supervisor is showing you around, so repeat what she says.
33
The library opens at 8.
34
Quiet study rooms are upstairs.
35
speakers.
36
Please keep your voice down in here.
37
Laptops are available at the front desk.
38
Return your books to the counter by the door.
39
Printing costs 10 cents per page for students.
40
That should have felt slow.
41
And the 10 seconds probably felt long.
42
Remember that feeling because in four rounds, these get close to 20 words and the same 10 seconds will feel like nothing at all.
43
Let's go back to number six for a second.
44
Printing costs 10 cents per page for students.
45
Say it out loud right now and listen to yourself.
46
Did you say costs or cost, cents or sent, students or student?
47
I'm not being fussy here because the published scoring guide for this task is specific about it.
48
For the maximum score of five, you have to repeat the sentence exactly as it is and the guide lists what drops you to a four.
49
One of those things is markers of tense, aspect or number, missing or incorrect,
50
which is the grammar name for the S on the end of costs and the S on the end of students.
51
So a sentence you heard perfectly, understood perfectly, and gave back with every idea intact can still cost you a point
52
because of one consonant nobody ever taught you to listen for.
53
There are two ways to fix it.
54
When you repeat, finish the word and don't let your voice fade out on the last sound.
55
And when you check yourself afterwards, read your answer against the sentence one word at a time instead of skimming it for meaning,
56
because your brain will happily forgive an ending that your score won't.
57
Real quick, because there's something coming in round three that round one didn't touch.
58
A word you've never heard before is much harder to hold on to, and that's the trap in this task.
59
Somebody says deliveries are unloaded behind the loading bay, and if loading bay is new to you, your brain stops for half a second to work it out, and the back half of the sentence is gone.
60
Your memory did nothing wrong.
61
One piece of vocabulary took the sentence down with it.
62
That's why Anastasia, our teacher at LinguaTrip, built topic vocabulary lists for the course instead of a giant word dump.
63
Campus buildings, health, transport, technology, the environment, the topics this test actually keeps returning to with the words
64
worth knowing pulled out for each one you learn the ones
65
that pay not a thousand flash cards and

70
that matters for today you speak your answer hit submit and And within seconds, the AI scores it on grammar, vocabulary, structure, and content.
71

72

73

77
Okay, back to the drill.
78
New scenario now and the sentences get a little longer.
79
You're training at the front desk of a residence hall and your manager is running through the basics.
80
Your room key also opens the side entrance.
81
Packages are held here for up to 5 days.
82
The laundry machines are down in the basement.
83
Please report any maintenance problems to the front desk.
84
Guests have to sign in before 9 at night.
85
The elevator on the left is out of service today.
86
Around nine or ten words most people are still comfortable.
87
Somewhere past that it stops being comfortable and the way you listen has to change.
88
That's the next tip.
89
Most people listen to the entire sentence, wait politely for it to finish and only then start trying to remember it.
90
By At that point the beginning is already fading and the longer the sentence the worse it gets.
91
So do the opposite.
92
Break the sentence into small groups of three or four words
93
while you're still listening and repeat each group silently in your head as soon as you hear it.
94
While she's saying the elevator on the left is out of service today, you're not waiting.
95
You hear the elevator, you echo it.
96
On the left, echo.
97
Is out of service, echo.
98
Today, echo.
99
Four little groups, each one rehearsed once before she'd even finished the sentence.
100
When the timer starts, you're not recalling a sentence from cold, you're replaying four things you already said.
101
The sentence also comes out sounding more natural because those groups are where a native speaker would put the pauses anyway.
102
Do it deliberately through the whole of round three.
103
It feels clumsy for the first two sentences and then it starts to feel normal.
104
This time you're volunteering at the campus greenhouse and the head gardener is briefing you.
105
Break every sentence into groups of three or four words while you listen.
106
Please stay on the marked path while you walk through the greenhouse.
107
The tropical room is kept warm, so bring a lighter jacket.
108
it.
109
Do not touch the plants unless a staff member asks you to.
110
Watering happens early in the morning, well before we open.
111
Volunteers meet every Saturday to help with planting and repotting.
112
If you have allergies, the flowering room might bother you a little.
113
Number 17 is the one I check, planting and repotting.
114
If repotting was a new word for you, watch what it did to the rest of the sentence.
115
When a word disappears on you, the instinct is to stop.
116
You don't want to say something wrong, so you say nothing and wait for the next sentence.
117
I understand why.
118
It's the single most expensive thing you can do in this task.
119
And the scoring guide shows you exactly how expensive.
120
To lose only one point, down at a four, you're allowed to have a content word missing on a longer sentence or replaced with a related word.
121
Replaced.
122
You can put a different sensible word in the gap and still sit one band off the top.
123
And the guide describes a two almost exactly like that freeze.
124
The speaker repeats the first part of the sentence then stops.
125
So guessing puts you at a four and stopping puts you at a two for the same missing word.
126
So when repotting vanishes, you don't stop.
127
You say planting and replanting or planting and potting
128
or you go straight past it
129
and land the rest of the sentence clean keep the sentence moving
130
and get to the end of it
131
because a wrong word inside a finished sentence costs you one band
132
and an unfinished sentence costs you three in round four nothing
133
gets skipped whatever happens these are longer than anything the real test will give you
134
and that's deliberate you're working the box office add to the campus theater on an opening night.
135
Tickets bought online can be picked up at this window on the night of the show.
136
Students get a discount, so remind them to have their identification card ready.
137
If a performance sells out, we start a waiting list about an hour before it begins.
138
Latecomers are seated during the first break, not while the play is running.
139
Please remind every guest that recording during the performance is not allowed.
140
Season passes can be bought here at the office or renewed over the phone.
141
Number 21 is where a lot of people trip because it holds two separate details, sells out and an hour before it begins.
142
And the second one usually survives at the cost of the first.
143
Something in round four probably came out wrong halfway through and you kept going anyway.
144
Or you stopped and restarted the sentence and felt like you'd wrecked it.
145
You didn't.
146
The description of a four says it plainly.
147
The speaker may self -correct, but successfully completes the response.
148
Fixing yourself out loud is written into the scoring as acceptable.
149
So if your two words into latecomers are seated during the first play,
150
and you hear yourself say the first break and carry on.
151
Don't restart the whole sentence, you'll run out of clock.
152
Don't apologize, there's nobody listening in real time.
153
Correct the word and keep moving to the end because finishing is what's being measured.
154
The one thing to avoid is the loop where you go back to the beginning three times and never reach the end.
155
An unfinished sentence is the expensive outcome here, not a repaired one.
156
Last six, and these are the hardest sentences in the video.
157
Up to 19 words each.
158
You're at the campus bike shop and the manager is training you on the rental desk.
159
Any student with a valid campus card can borrow a bike for up to three days at no cost.
160
Repairs that take more than an hour are usually finished by the following afternoon.
161
So take a phone number.
162
Helmets are included with every rental and we ask that people return them with the bike.
163
Because the workshop gets busy on weekends, we tell people to book a repair earlier in the week.
164
If a bike is damaged while you have it, bring it back and tell a mechanic what happened.
165
Students who leave their bicycles locked to the railings outside the main entrance may find them removed by staff.
166
That's 30.
167
The last one was 19 words with a relative clause buried in the front of it,
168
it, and a real seventh sentence on test day usually runs somewhere around 12 to 15 words.
169
So everything you just did was harder than what's coming.
170
You can remember all 19 words and still not get the five because the top band asks for two separate things,
171
an exact repetition and a response that is fully intelligible.
172
Down at three, the guide describes a speaker who struggles over a word
173
or phrase or runs words together and says that reduces intelligibility.
174
Nobody in that description forgot anything.
175
They rushed.
176
The words melted into each other and it cost them.
177
Look back at round five for this one because long sentences make everyone speed up.
178
You've got 10 seconds and 18 words.
179
You panic slightly and you compress.
180
The fix is boring and it works.
181
Start speaking a beat later than feels comfortable then hold an
182
even pace all the way through the last word instead of sprinting the first half
183
and mumbling the end that's the last tip
184
so let's run the full task now you're being trained to
185
help visitors at a campus science center listen to your trainer and repeat what he says
186
The main entrance is on your right.
187
Our planetarium show starts every hour.
188
door.
189
Coats and large bags can be left near the door.
190
Hands -on exhibits for younger visitors are on the lower floor.
191
Add guided tours, leave from this desk at 11 and again at 2.
192
Staff here can help with directions, timings, and group bookings.
193
If a visitor asks about the telescope, mention our evening viewing sessions on the roof.
194
That's the full task done.
195
Now let's score it honestly
196
because a number you can actually track is worth a lot more than a feeling about how it went.
197
Go through it sentence by sentence.
198
If you gave it back word for word and it was clear, that's a five.
199
If the meaning survived but a small word slipped
200
or an ending went missing or you swapped in a near word or you fixed yourself on the way through, that's a four.
201
If most of the idea is there
202
but a couple of real content words are wrong or gone or the words ran together, that's a three.
203
If you got the opening and then trailed off, that's a two.
204
The pattern in your own answers matters more than the total.
205
If you're getting fours everywhere, your memory is fine and your endings are leaking.
206
So go back to tip one.
207
If the long ones are twos, you're freezing.
208
So go back to tip three and make yourself finish every sentence for a week, even when it comes out wrong.
209
And check yourself with something other than your own ears
210
because your ears are on your side and they'll hear the word you meant to say
211
record yourself and play it back
212
or say your answer into any text tool your phone's dictation is fine read what what appears on
213
that screen is a lot closer to what a rater hears
214
than what you think you said 10 minutes a day for
215
two weeks will move this more than almost anything else you could do with the time
216
because it's a small mechanical skill and it responds fast If you want Anastasia's detailed speaking lessons with her example, answers for both task types,

TOEFL Listen and Repeat - Practice Test One
TOEFL PrepUniversity StudentsWorking Adults
Perché esercitarti a parlare con questo video?
Se vuoi prepararti al TOEFL 2026, questo video è una risorsa imperdibile. La sezione speaking del test è breve (circa 8 minuti) ma richiede precisione: 7 domande di "listen and repeat" e 4 di intervista. L'esercizio di ripetizione non è solo sulla comprensione, ma sulla capacità di memorizzare e riprodurre esattamente frasi, anche lunghe. Con questo video, puoi esercitare il "shadowspeak" (la tecnica di ripetere immediatamente dopo l'audio), migliorando memoria, pronuncia e flusso. È perfetto per chi cerca di imparare l'inglese con i video in modo pratico: niente teorie, solo azione.
Grammatica e espressioni nel contesto
Le frasi del video contengono strutture chiave per il TOEFL. Ecco alcuni esempi:
- Tempi verbali e numeri: "Printing costs 10 cents per page for students" usa il presente semplice (costs) e il plurale (students). Un errore qui (es. "cost" o "student") può abbassare il punteggio.
- Preposizioni e articoli: "Return your books to the counter by the door" include preposizioni come "to" e "by", fondamentali per la correttezza. Molti sbagliano a ricordarle, ma sono essenziali.
- Strutture complesse: "Students who finish the tour early can wait for the group near the side entrance" combina un pronome relativo (who) e una frase condizionale. Ripetere queste frasi aiuta a internalizzare l'ordine delle parole in inglese.
Trappole di pronuncia comuni
Anche se capisci le frasi, la pronuncia può creare problemi. Ecco i punti da watchare:
- "Cents" vs "sent": La parola "cents" (centesimi) ha una "s" finale, mentre "sent" (inviato) no. La differenza è sottile ma cruciale per essere capito.
- "Costs" vs "cost": Il "s" in "costs" indica il terzo persona singolare. Dimenticarlo cambia la grammatica e il senso.
- Intonazione nelle frasi lunghe: Frasi come "Quiet study rooms are upstairs" richiedono una intonazione decrescente alla fine. Una intonazione sbagliata può rendere la frase meno chiara.
Per migliorare, usa il video come "shadowing site": ripeti ogni frase immediatamente dopo l'audio, concentrandoti su precisione e pronuncia. Con la pratica, la "shadow speech" diventerà più naturale, e tu sarai pronto per il TOEFL!
Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?
Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
