The TOEIC listening test has four parts.
2
As in the reading section, each part gets a little bit more challenging as you progress.
3
So make sure that you start strong and focused.
4
Let's start with listening part one, photographs.
5
Before we look at the instructions and the task, be sure to hit that subscribe button and be the first to know about brand new TOEIC videos.
6
Alright, let's get right into it.
7
First, you're going to see a picture like this one here.
8
The main thing you'll do is think about what you see.
9
In this case, we have a woman sitting at a desk.
10
So ask yourself, where is she?
11
What is she doing?
12
How does she feel?
13
Don't worry about trying to anticipate what is happening exactly, or trying to get the answer perfectly correct.
14
You just want to get your brain moving and engaged.
15
Don't wait for the correct answers.
16
Next, you're going to hear for answer options.
17
In this case, you won't see them, you'll only hear them before we listen.
18
Here are a few things to note.
19
First of all, the sentences will be fairly simple.
20
They'll often use the present continuous tense.
21
The boy is sleeping, they are playing.
22
Also, some of the questions will require you to make some inferences.
23
This means it won't always be very obvious.
24
Imagine you see a little girl playing video games, and their mother is standing behind her with an unhappy look on her face.
25
An easy version might be the girl is playing video games.
26
But a harder one might be the mother is losing her patience.
27
This is why it's important to ask yourself those questions.
28
Who are they?
29
What are they doing?
30
Where are they?
31
And how do they feel?
32
Okay, so let's go back to our photo and we'll hear the four answer options.
33
Sadly, you won't see them.
34
It is a listening test after all.
35
Let's listen together, pick the answer you think is correct.
36
Look at the picture.
37
A.
38
The woman is cleaning the office.
39
B.
40
The woman is having lunch.
41
c the woman is taking a break?
42
B.
43
The woman is cleaning her glasses.
44
How did you go?
45
Let's have another listen.
46
In the test you will only hear it once.
47
But anytime you struggle with one of these questions, don't feel bad if you have to listen again.
48
It's good practice and it will improve your listening.
49
Look at the picture.
50
is cleaning her glasses.
51
Great.
52
So the answer is C.
53
Now, keep in mind there's minimal method to this one.
54
Either you hear it or you don't.
55
But let's take a look at the answer options so that we can better understand this test.
56
A and B.
57
So definitely not cleaning the office and definitely not having lunch.
58
There is no food.
59
For C and D, C is a maybe.
60
She's clearly stopped doing whatever it is she's doing.
61
But D, the woman is cleaning her glasses.
62
Well, not quite.
63
She's taken her glasses off, but she doesn't seem to be cleaning them.
64
So I'll go with C.
65
She stopped working.
66
So she's taking a break.
67
Now, keep in mind, if you're able to understand me now, then you should be able to understand the language used in this part of the test.
68
If you want to strengthen your listening skills, be sure to build strong listening habits.

Uitspraak om op te letten
De spreker gebruikt 16 samentrekkingen en verkorte vormen, zoals don't, won't, you're. Spreek ze kort uit, zoals je ze hoort.
- De klanken “sh” en “zh”: patience /ˈpeɪ̯.ʃəns/, instruction /ɪnˈstɹʌkʃən/
- Lange woorden — let op de klemtoon: continuous /kənˈtɪn.juː.əs/, anticipate /ænˈtɪs.ɪ.peɪt/
Klanken die Nederlandstaligen lastig vinden:
- Stemhebbende eindmedeklinker — /b/, /d/, /g/, /z/, /v/ niet verscherpen: engage /ɪnˈɡeɪd͡ʒ/, subscribe /səbˈskɹaɪb/
- /æ/ — opener dan de Nederlandse “e”: habit /ˈhæb.ɪt/, photograph /ˈfoʊ.təˌɡɹæf/, sadly /ˈsædli/, unhappy /ʌnˈhæpi/, anticipate /ænˈtɪs.ɪ.peɪt/
- /g/ — een harde plofklank, geen Nederlandse “g”: engage /ɪnˈɡeɪd͡ʒ/, photograph /ˈfoʊ.təˌɡɹæf/
Zo oefen je met deze video
- Luister de hele video één keer zonder te spreken en noteer de woorden die je niet kent.
- Spreek zin voor zin na op normale snelheid en herhaal elke zin tot je ritme gelijk is aan dat van de spreker.
- Neem jezelf op en vergelijk met het origineel; let daarbij op woorden als assessment, desk, skill.
Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?
Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
