About the TOEFL Listen and Repeat task
Listen and Repeat is a TOEFL Speaking task about accuracy. You see a picture of a setting — a library, a lab, a bike shop — and hear a series of short sentences about it. After each one you say it aloud, exactly as you heard it. Sentences get longer as the set goes on, so the last ones test how much you can hold in memory.
Each set has up to 7 sentences. What counts is how accurately and clearly you reproduce each sentence: every word, in order, with understandable pronunciation and natural rhythm.
Common mistakes: paraphrasing instead of repeating ("the students study" for "students are studying"), dropping small words such as articles and prepositions, and swallowing word endings like -s and -ed. Listen for the meaning of the sentence rather than word by word — meaning is easier to remember than a string of sounds.
