Luyện nói tiếng Anh bằng Shadowing qua video: TOEFL Speaking: Listen and Repeat Training (2026)

Most TOEFL test takers agree that listen and repeat is one of the hardest tasks to do on test day.

This is in the TOEFL speaking section and it looks like this.

You get an image and you have seven statements about the image and you only get to listen to it once.

It'll be like this.

the information desk can answer questions about exhibits, events and museum programs.

So it seems pretty easy, but it's actually more difficult to remember every single word that was just said.

But that's what we're going to practice together right now.

I'm going to give you 30 statements that I want you to listen and repeat.

We'll start off easy and we'll get more complex and more difficult as we go.

And at the end as well, I'll give you a test simulation.

You'll have an image and seven statements, just like on the test.

And if you're a little confused about this, don't worry.

I'm going to give you tips and tricks along the way as well, so you know how to improve your score and you know exactly what to expect on test day.

So let's get started with the first one.

The workshop has been cancelled.

Let's order something different.

Please remain behind the line.

So pretty easy to start.

This leads me to my first tip, which is to use speech-to-text software when you practice.

Basically, if you're just speaking and you don't have anybody to listen to you except yourself, it's easy to let mistakes slip through the cracks,

like you can't hear your own mistakes very well.

So there's two ways to help fix this.

One way is to sign up for a free account at TST Prep, and you can have free practice and we actually check if you repeated the words the exact same way or not.

That's the simplest way.

If you would like to do it on your own, you can also use speech-to-text software.

So for example, ChatGPT, your iPhone, or even Google Docs with something called voice typing.

Basically, you speak into your technology, your phone or your computer, and then it'll write out, it'll type out or whatever you want to say, what you said.

And if you heard it correctly, it should be exactly like it is written in the answer key below.

So that's my first tip.

Make sure you're checking your answers with some type of software that converts your speech to text.

All right, let's keep going.

Who can solve this problem?

The warranty covers most repairs.

Additional evidence is still needed.

Registration closes at noon.

The presentation exceeded expectations.

Construction began over a century ago.

Have you read the article? so so the

first 10 pretty easy we're about to get a little more

complicated before we do my next tip is to make sure you do the little things right.

So for example, make sure you have an S at the end of words that need an S.

So for example, if you look at number two, it says let's order something different.

Make sure you said let's with that S sound at the end.

If you just said let order without the S sound, then that means it's wrong.

So you have to be very careful of that.

You want You want to make sure every word is correct and everything is included.

And that includes also another example.

The warranty covers most repairs.

Make sure you have covers.

This is number five.

Covers with an S, most repairs with an S.

So make sure you do all those little things right.

You include all of those little words, all those function words like a, an and the.

Make sure all of those are included in your response.

That's it.

Let's go to the more difficult ones.

Although the concepts are difficult, the examples are straightforward.

Employers appreciate applicants who arrive prepared and on time.

Books returned after the due date may incur a fee.

Should you misplace your key, we can issue a replacement.

The information desk can direct you to any office.

So the statements are getting a little bit longer, a little bit harder to remember every word that was said.

You know, you remember pieces of it, but you don't remember every single word.

So this is where some strategy might help.

One piece of strategy that I find helpful.

Some students do, some students don't, so experiment with this and see how you feel about it.

But that's to write the first letter of every word in your notes.

So on test day, you're allowed to take some notes.

I usually don't recommend notes for listen and repeat, but this actually kind of helps.

What is it?

Let me explain.

So the first thing you want to do is that you want to write down the numbers one, two, three, four, five, six, seven.

On test day, you'll have for listen and repeat, you'll have an image and there'll be seven statements about it.

Okay, the shorter ones are kind of easy.

I don't think you need to do this for the shorter ones.

For the longer sentences, like numbers three and four and five and six and seven, then you might want to think about doing this.

What does it look like?

So let's look at number 11 for an example.

Although the concepts are difficult, the examples are straightforward.

In my notes, I wrote down A-T-C-A-D-T-E-A-S.

And what is that?

That's the first letter of every word.

A is although, T is the, concepts is C, A is difficult, A is R, D is difficult, and so on.

Now, why is this helpful?

It's helpful for a couple reasons.

One reason is that you're focused on your listening and on taking notes, so you're super focused.

It helps improve your focus for one thing.

You don't worry about the image so much, you don't worry about anything else around you, you're like, okay, what's the first letter, what's the first letter, what's the first letter?

So it helps improve your focus, that's one thing.

Another thing is that the first letter of each word helps cue you,

helps remind you when it's time to repeat what you have to say, so you don't forget any word because all the words are there with just one letter.

So even though, for example, although the concepts are difficult, I remember all that.

The first part usually is where you'll remember things.

The second part towards the end is where you'll start forgetting some things.

And then I remember, oh, it was not just examples, it was the examples.

I see the T and then I remember, oh it was the examples.

And then A is R and then S is straightforward.

So it might not work for you.

100

This might not be the best fit for you.

101

You might have trouble spelling, for example.

102

For me, I find this very helpful.

103

I can write down and stay super focused and the sentence just came.

104

So even though there are thousands of words that begin with S, I can still see the letter S and get a cue, a kind of memory cue,

105

because I just heard this sentence before.

106

Okay, so this is my little tip that I think is helpful for a lot of students, not for every student.

107

Some students think this is too confusing, don't find it helpful, that's fine.

108

Experiment with this and see how it goes writing down the first letter of each word that you hear.

109

Alright, let's keep going to the next batch of questions.

110

Alright, here we go, listen and repeat.

111

Once the timer starts, record measurements at regular intervals.

112

areas are available on a first come, first serve basis.

113

After graduation, transcripts can still be requested online.

114

Following the keynote address, breakout sessions will begin.

115

We'll continue this topic and examine additional examples next week.

116

All right, so we're about to get into the even harder statements.

117

These are even longer.

118

These are the ones that will be the sixth or seventh statement on test day.

119

So these are really difficult.

120

Before I do, another tip here is to focus more on the audio than the image.

121

image helps give you context, but really you really focus on what you're listening to and what you need to repeat.

122

The image can be a little bit distracting, your eyes can be distracting, might look around the room, might look at different parts of the screen.

123

If you close your eyes and just focus on what you're listening to, you'll enhance your focus on the audio.

124

This is another reason why I like the note-taking strategy of writing down the first letter of each word, because it helps keep me focused on the audio itself.

125

So again, focus more on the audio, less on the image.

126

Also, don't forget to go to tstprep.com for our free practice questions for Listen

127

and Repeat and also for the free speaking guide.

128

I'll put a link in the description to that.

129

That'll help you with not just Listen and Repeat, but also take an interview as well.

130

So check that out, but let's keep going with the hard statements.

131

Here we go.

132

Several artifacts were recovered locally, while others were donated by private collectors.

133

Workshops covering study strategies are offered regularly throughout the academic year.

134

Due to maintenance work, passengers may experience minor delays during evening service hours.

135

Measurements should be repeated carefully whenever the results appear inconsistent or unusual.

136

We'll continue discussing this topic once everyone has completed the assigned reading.

137

All right, pretty difficult, but you're almost finished.

138

Five more to do.

139

Another tip for you here is to listen in chunks.

140

It means listening to groups of words instead of individual words.

141

So for example, number 21 says, several artifacts were recovered locally, while others were donated by private collectors.

142

So this sentence here has one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen words.

143

So that's a lot of words, and that'd be a lot of things to write down.

144

Thirteen letters would be a lot to write down quickly.

145

So maybe instead, it's better for you to remember in chunks, you remember several artifacts.

146

You remember this word several often modifies some noun this situation is artifacts, several artifacts, okay, were recovered locally.

147

So you try to remember in chunks.

148

You don't remember each word, but instead you remember this group of words that go together.

149

For this strategy, it's kind of general.

150

There's not really anything that I can say specifically like do this and do this and do this.

151

This will be up to you about how you feel comfortable listening.

152

Is it easier for you to remember each word or is it easier for you to remember chunks of words.

153

This is something you'll have to experiment with and you'll have to see what you feel most comfortable doing.

154

So experiment with the notes, writing down the first letter of each word, try listening in chunks, see which which style works best for you.

155

Yeah, because everyone's going to be different for this.

156

It's challenging, just listen to repeat stuff.

157

All right, we got five more and then we have the actual mock test.

158

So this is where you take everything that you've learned and apply it to the actual test question.

159

So got a lot more good things to do.

160

Let's get into it right now.

161

Last five difficult ones before we get into the mock test.

162

Discounted supplies are displayed near the register and additional items are available upstairs.

163

Social changes often occur gradually, even when political reforms happen very quickly.

164

Some animals become more active after sunset, particularly during the warmer summer months.

165

Seating is limited for the afternoon workshop, so early arrival is strongly recommended.

166

Group fitness classes remain popular because they encourage motivation and regular participation.

167

All right, how did you do?

168

If you scored over a 25 out of 30 and everything is perfect for those 25, that's a pretty good score.

169

if you still need to work on it and improve, you do want to practice every day.

170

That's my next tip for this, is that the first time you do this, listen and repeat, it seems so simple.

171

And then you start running into challenges and difficulties.

172

And so you need to practice it to get better at it.

173

It's like anything, you know, you practice it a little bit more, you get better at it.

174

So make sure that you have enough practice.

175

If you sign up for TSD Prep Score Builder Program, We have thousands of additional TOEFL practice questions.

176

We have, I think, about a hundred questions like this.

177

We have 10 practice tests.

178

You just get a lot of stuff in the Score Builder program.

179

I'll put a link in the description of that.

180

But make sure that you practice every day, YouTube videos, whatever you can find.

181

This will help you get more comfortable with this and also find your style that you like.

182

Do you like to take notes?

183

Do you like to look at the image?

184

Do you like to focus on just listening with your ears?

185

Decide what works best for you.

186

Is it better to listen in chunks or individual words and so on.

187

But make sure you check your answers using speech to text and see that you included every word.

188

Your memory is not, and what your ears hear is not the same as what everyone else hears.

189

So definitely record your voice and listen back to it.

190

All right, but let's get into the actual mock test style.

191

And that's it.

192

Thank you for watching.

193

I hope you find this helpful.

194

Make sure to hit the subscribe button and let's get into the last part.

195

You are being trained to assist visitors at a campus museum.

196

Listen to your trainer and repeat what he says.

197

Repeat only once.

198

Admission is free for all students.

199

Today's special exhibit focuses on ancient cultures.

200

Museum maps and visitor guides are available near the front desk.

201

Several galleries can be reached by following the sign to your left.

202

Many guests choose to make a donation before leaving the museum.

203

The information desk can answer questions about exhibits, events and museum programmes.

204

If you are interested in local history, ask about the collections currently featured in the galleries.

205

Thank you.

Phương Pháp Shadowing Là Gì?

Shadowing là kỹ thuật học ngôn ngữ có cơ sở khoa học, ban đầu được phát triển cho chương trình đào tạo phiên dịch viên chuyên nghiệp và được phổ biến rộng rãi bởi nhà đa ngôn ngữ học Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Nguyên lý cốt lõi đơn giản nhưng cực kỳ hiệu quả: bạn nghe tiếng Anh của người bản xứ và lặp lại to ngay lập tức — như một "cái bóng" (shadow) đuổi theo người nói với độ trễ chỉ 1–2 giây. Khác với luyện ngữ pháp hay học từ vựng bị động, Shadowing buộc não bộ và cơ miệng phải đồng thời xử lý và tái tạo ngôn ngữ thực tế. Các nghiên cứu khoa học xác nhận phương pháp này cải thiện đáng kể phát âm, ngữ điệu, nhịp điệu, nối âm, kỹ năng nghe và độ lưu loát khi nói — đặc biệt hiệu quả cho người luyện IELTS Speaking và muốn giao tiếp tiếng Anh tự nhiên như người bản ngữ.
