Practise the words and phrases that are hardest to say back accurately — stress patterns, weak forms and consonant clusters that trip up an otherwise strong speaker.

This task is about intelligible reproduction. A word you know but stress in the wrong place costs you here, so learn each entry with its stress pattern, not only its meaning.

The questions you answer7 turns

  1. 1The library closes at nine on weekdays.

  2. 2Please bring your student card to the front desk.

  3. 3The seminar has been moved to the room next door.

  4. 4If you miss the deadline, you will need to apply again next term.

  5. 5Most of the students who registered early were given their first choice.

  6. 6The results of the survey suggest that attendance has improved considerably since last year.

  7. 7Had the department announced the change earlier, far fewer students would have been affected by it.

Try one yourself, under the clock

A sample answer shows you the target. It cannot tell you whether your own response hits it — that is an estimated 0–5 score for each task, with feedback on what earned it.

Common questions
What is actually scored?
How intelligibly and accurately you reproduce what you heard — pronunciation and prosody rather than the ideas you supply.
What level does it cover?
ETS targets this task across roughly A1 to C2, so the items range from short everyday phrases to longer, denser sentences.
