TOEFL Listen and Repeat practice sentences, printable
A hundred target sentences graded easy to hard, printed in full with their word counts — and a code on the page that opens the scored drill on a phone, because a repetition task needs a voice and paper does not have one.

What is in it
- A hundred Listen and Repeat target sentences across the easy, medium and hard practice tiers, dealt evenly rather than taken from one tier.
- The word count of every sentence, which is the honest measure of how much a sentence asks you to hold.
- A scan-to-listen code and a plain link on the sentence pages, opening the free browser drill where the same sentences are spoken and scored.
- A hundred sentences that are NOT the fifty on the question-bank page, so the two together are a hundred and fifty rather than one set published twice.
What it does not cover
- Audio inside the file. A PDF cannot speak; the code on the sentence pages is the route to the recordings rather than a substitute for them.
- Scoring. Repetition is judged on what a listener hears, so a printed sentence can be rehearsed but not marked — the free drill records and scores it.
- Take an Interview, the other 2026 Speaking task. It ships as its own pack.
- The fifty sentences already published on the Listen and Repeat question-bank page. This pack is deliberately the hundred that follow.
100 Listen and Repeat sentences, with word counts
Read a sentence once, cover it, and say it back. The transcript is not a spoiler in this task — the sentence you hear is the sentence you repeat — so the whole target text is printed, and the word count beside it is the honest measure of how much it asks you to hold.
These are the sentences that follow the fifty on the Listen and Repeat question-bank page — a different hundred, not the same fifty printed twice. Read the first fifty on the question-bank page.

Every question in these files is a Reach120 practice item taken from the bank our learners practise against. None of them is a real TOEFL test question, and nothing here is published, licensed, endorsed or reviewed by ETS.
What the task asks, and why the transcript is not a spoiler
You hear one sentence and say it back. There is nothing to work out — the difficulty is holding the whole sentence and producing it cleanly at speed, which is a memory and articulation task rather than a comprehension one. Printing the sentence gives away nothing the recording does not say out loud.
What ETS states
Per the specification’s item-type notes, all Speaking tasks are AI-scored constructed responses.
Build a Sentence is machine-scored rather than AI-scored, so the two labels are not a Speaking-only distinction. This says nothing about how Reach120 scores your practice.
Sourced from the ETS 2026 test specifications, read 2026-07-27. Everything outside this box is Reach120’s own reading of it.
How to rehearse from paper without building a bad habit
- 1Read the sentence once, cover it, and say it. Reading aloud from the page trains a different skill from the one the task measures.
- 2If you drop words, the sentence was too long to hold in one piece — say it again in two chunks and then join them. Length is what fails first, which is why the word count is printed.
- 3Work up a tier at a time. Sentences that are comfortable teach nothing, and sentences you cannot hold at all teach guessing.
- 4Finish on the phone. Scan the code, hear the sentence, and say it back to something that listens — paper cannot tell you that a word disappeared.
Common questions
- Do I need an account to download this or to use the drill?
- No account for the download, and every sentence is printed on this page as well. Getting a spoken attempt scored uses the free daily Listen and Repeat allowance once you are signed in — the allowance is unchanged by this pack.
- Are these real TOEFL sentences?
- Every question in these files is a Reach120 practice item taken from the bank our learners practise against. None of them is a real TOEFL test question, and nothing here is published, licensed, endorsed or reviewed by ETS.
- Does knowing the sentence in advance make the practice useless?
- No, and this is the one Speaking task where that is true. The sentence you hear is the sentence you repeat, so there is no answer being spoiled — only a target being rehearsed. Reading it first does change the exercise from listening to production, which is why the drill is worth doing after the paper work rather than instead of it.
- What are the easy, medium and hard tiers?
- Reach120 practice settings, not ETS levels. They track sentence length and structure — longer sentences hold more in memory — and they are labelled that way everywhere they appear.
