TOEFL iBT Listening “Listen to an Announcement”: 행사 시간, 마감일, 변경 사항, 예외를 구별하는 법

Two adults listen to a briefing in a campus welcome area.

2026년에 도입된 TOEFL iBT 형식의 “Listen to an Announcement” 문제 푸는 법: 행사 시간과 그보다 이른 마감일 구별하기, 바뀐 것과 그대로인 것 추적하기, 조건과 예외를 해당 청자에게 적용하기. B1 이상 수험생을 위한 글입니다.

TOEFL iBT의 “Listen to an Announcement” 과제에서는 예를 들어 캠퍼스 행사나 일정 변경에 관한 짧은 안내 방송을 한 번 듣고 객관식 문제에 답합니다. 문제는 실용적입니다. 안내의 목적, 언제 어디서 무슨 일이 있는지, 무엇이 바뀌었는지, 특정 청자가 무엇을 해야 하는지를 묻습니다. 오답 선택지는 녹음에 실제로 나온 내용을 엉뚱한 역할로 다시 쓰는 경우가 많습니다. 이 글은 2026년에 도입된 TOEFL iBT 형식을 기준으로 하며, 중급(B1) 이상의 수험생에게 맞습니다.

이 글이 맞는 분

  • 2026년에 도입된 TOEFL iBT 형식을 준비하며, 안내 방송의 주제는 알아듣지만 시간, 장소, 요건에 관한 문제를 놓치는 수험생.
  • “Friday at four thirty”와 “by Wednesday evening”을 연달아 듣고 “When must you book?”의 답이 어느 쪽인지 헷갈리는 분.
  • 강의실이 바뀌고 시작 시간이 미뤄지고 마감일이 정해지는 실제 안내를 듣게 될, 영어권 캠퍼스로 갈 학생.
  • 아직 이릅니다: 두 사람의 짧은 대화에서 누가 무슨 말을 했는지 아직 놓친다면, 응답 고르기와 대화 듣기부터 시작하세요(아래 링크).
  • 너무 쉽습니다: 한 번 듣고 모든 시간, 변경 사항, 조건을 다시 설명할 수 있다면 강의 듣기로 넘어가세요(아래 링크).

Review the recording and transfer the skill

Good afternoon. The campus archive is offering an introductory workshop on using its digital collection this Friday at four thirty. The session will be held in the training room beside the archive entrance and will last ninety minutes. Places are limited to twenty participants, so please book through the archive website by Wednesday evening. You will receive a confirmation email when your place is reserved. Bring a laptop if you have one. A small number of loan laptops are available, but these must be requested by Tuesday so staff can prepare them. The workshop is designed for beginners; you do not need previous research experience. Please arrive ten minutes before the start so we can help everyone connect to the network. This is a practical workshop, not a general tour of the archive.

Your open task

  • Give an accurate spoken reminder to a beginner who needs a loan laptop.
  • Explain how the three different days relate to different actions.
  • Create your own short announcement for a learning event with a clear audience and one condition.

Separate What Changed from What Stayed the Same — worked model

Two adults listen to a briefing in a campus welcome area.

This is an update for the afternoon reading group. The session will start at the usual time, but it will move from the gallery to the seminar room because an installation team needs access to the gallery. The reading topic is unchanged. Please use the side corridor to reach the new room.

Listen for these relationships

  • Updated detail: seminar room replaces gallery.
  • Reason: an installation team needs the original space.
  • Retained details: the start time and topic.
  • Required response: follow the side corridor to the new room.
  • The update changes the location and the route, not the time or the content.

Listen for the main information

  1. Why is the workshop moving?

    정답과 해설 보기

    The ceiling in Studio B needs an inspection

    The announcement gives a maintenance inspection of Studio B’s ceiling as the reason.

    정답과 해설 보기

    Anyone with arranged access support who needs the new room checked

    The instruction is specifically for participants with arranged support for access.

Review the recording and transfer the skill

This message is for participants in Wednesday’s bookbinding workshop. The workshop will move from Studio B to Studio D because maintenance staff need to inspect the ceiling in Studio B. Studio D is in the same building, on the ground floor. To allow time for the materials to be moved, the workshop will begin at two thirty, half an hour later than originally planned. It will still finish at four. You do not need to bring any extra equipment; staff will transfer the tools and paper. Please bring your booking confirmation so we can check the attendance list quickly. If you have arranged support for access to the building, contact the organiser by Tuesday afternoon to confirm that the new room meets your needs. We will send a final reminder on Wednesday morning.

Your open task

  • Explain the revised plan, including the original and new start times.
  • Describe how the reason for the change affects the practical instructions.
  • Give your own update for a planned event, clearly stating one change and one unchanged detail.

Turn an Announcement into a Plan — worked model

Two adults listen to a briefing in a campus welcome area.

Volunteers for Saturday’s exhibition should complete the online safety briefing before their first shift. Those who have already completed it this month do not need to repeat it. Badges can be collected at reception from nine o’clock.

Listen for these relationships

  • A requirement can apply only to some listeners.
  • Already completed this month creates an exception.
  • Badge collection is a practical step, not proof that the briefing was completed.
  • Summarise instructions as actions in a sensible order.
  • The briefing requirement and the badge collection time are separate: arriving early does not replace completing the briefing.

Listen for the main information

  1. What must a new volunteer do before the first shift?

    정답과 해설 보기

    Watch the induction video and complete its check

    The opening requires both the video and the linked three-question check.

  2. Who does not need to repeat the induction?

    정답과 해설 보기

    Someone who completed it for last month’s exhibition

    The exception is specifically for people who completed this induction last month.

  3. What should a volunteer with a later shift do about the kit?

    정답과 해설 보기

    Collect it from the welcome desk when needed

    Later-shift kits are kept at the same desk, and early arrival is explicitly unnecessary.

Listen for relationships and next steps

  1. Why should volunteers collect their own kits?

    정답과 해설 보기

    Each kit is labelled for a named volunteer

    Named kits explain the instruction not to send a friend.

  2. What is the deadline for reporting that a volunteer cannot attend?

    정답과 해설 보기

    Five o’clock on Monday

    The cancellation instruction gives Monday at five as the deadline.

  3. How should a volunteer report that they cannot attend?

    정답과 해설 보기

    Email the coordinator

    Email reaches the coordinator; a public-post reply does not notify that person directly.

Review the recording and transfer the skill

Thank you to everyone volunteering at Tuesday’s community exhibition. Before your first shift, please watch the short induction video and complete the three-question check linked below it. If you completed this induction for our exhibition last month, you do not need to repeat it. On Tuesday, volunteer kits can be collected from the welcome desk between nine and nine thirty. If your shift begins later in the day, your kit will be kept at the same desk; there is no need to arrive during the morning collection period. Each kit is labelled for a named volunteer, so please do not send a friend to collect it. If you can no longer attend, email the coordinator by five o’clock on Monday so we can rearrange the rota. Replying to the public social-media post will not notify the coordinator directly.

Your open task

  • Explain the correct sequence for a new volunteer whose shift begins at noon.
  • Describe how the instructions differ for a returning volunteer.
  • Give a short announcement with a requirement, an exception and a clear contact route.

계정이 있나요?

무료 계정은 한 단원을 계속 열어 둘 수 있습니다.

과제는 무엇을 요구하나요?

한 명의 화자가 학생이나 자원봉사자 같은 집단에게 말합니다. 들은 내용을 네 가지 제목 아래 정리하세요.

  • 목적: 화자는 왜 말하고 있나요?
  • 행사: 무엇이, 언제, 어디서 열리나요?
  • 변경 사항: 무엇이 바뀌었고, 왜 바뀌었고, 무엇이 그대로인가요?
  • 할 일: 누가 무엇을 언제까지 해야 하고, 누가 면제되나요?

행사 시간인가요, 마감일인가요?

안내에는 여러 시간이 나오지만 행사 자체는 하나뿐입니다. 아카이브 워크숍 안내에서 금요일 4시 30분은 워크숍 자체, 수요일 저녁은 예약 마감, 화요일은 노트북 대여를 위한 더 이른 마감입니다. 각 시간을 동사와 전치사에 연결하세요.

  • at은 시각, on은 요일이나 날짜에 씁니다. 철도 표준시가 시작된 때: “at noon on November 18, 1883”.
  • by는 마감, 즉 행동할 수 있는 가장 늦은 시점입니다: “please book through the archive website by Wednesday evening”.
  • until은 어느 시점까지 계속되는 일에 씁니다: “The desk stays open until nine thirty.”
  • not … until은 그때가 되어서야 처음 일어난 일을 나타냅니다: “Standard time did not become federal law in the United States until 1918.”

직접 해 보기: 세 요일, 세 가지 행동

같은 안내에서 두 문장을 읽고 답해 보세요.

  • “Places are limited to twenty participants, so please book through the archive website by Wednesday evening.”
  • “A small number of loan laptops are available, but these must be requested by Tuesday so staff can prepare them.”
“What should someone needing a loan laptop do?”

무엇이 바뀌었고, 무엇이 그대로인가요?

한 변경 안내에서는 정비 직원이 천장을 점검해야 해서 제본 워크숍이 Studio B에서 Studio D로 옮겨집니다. 시작은 2시 30분으로 늦춰지지만(“half an hour later than originally planned”), 끝나는 시간은 같습니다: “It will still finish at four.” 원래 시작 시간을 묻는 문제가 나올 수도 있는데, 답은 직접 계산해야 합니다. 바로 2시입니다. 들어야 할 신호는 다음과 같습니다.

  • 변경: move from … to …, instead of, rather than, no longer.
  • 이유: because, so that, to allow time for.
  • 그대로: still, as usual, unchanged.
  • 수동태는 무엇이 바뀌었는지에 초점을 둡니다: “The workshop has been moved to Studio D.”
나에게 맞는 방법으로 이 단원 배우기

조건과 예외: 누가 무엇을 해야 하나요?

많은 지시는 일부 청자에게만 해당합니다. 자원봉사자는 첫 근무 전에 안내 영상을 봐야 하지만, 안내는 이렇게 덧붙입니다: “If you completed this induction for our exhibition last month, you do not need to repeat it.” 각 규칙을 문제가 묻는 사람에게 적용하세요.

  • 요건: must, should, please, before your first shift.
  • 예외: do not need to, there is no need to.
  • 조건: if, unless, as long as. 지난달에 영상을 마친 것은 전시를 관람한 것과 다릅니다.
  • 불참할 때의 마감과 연락 방법: “email the coordinator by five o’clock on Monday”. “Replying to the public social-media post will not notify the coordinator directly.”

흔한 실수

한국어의 ‘까지’는 by와 until 두 뜻을 모두 나타냅니다. ‘화요일까지 신청하세요’는 마감이고, ‘화요일까지 여기 있어요’는 계속되는 상태입니다. 영어에서는 두 단어가 다르므로 by를 ‘늦어도 …까지’로 기억하고, 연습 메모에서 마감일마다 by를 적어 두세요.

  • 예약해야 하는 때를 묻는데 행사 시간을 고르는 것.
  • 들었다는 이유만으로 장소를 고르는 것: “in Room C at six thirty, rather than the main lounge”에서 lounge는 제외됩니다.
  • 안내가 면제한 사람에게 요건을 적용하는 것.
  • 모든 것이 바뀌었다고 생각하는 것: 강의실이 바뀌어도 끝나는 시간은 그대로일 수 있습니다.

15분 연습 루틴

스크립트가 있는 연습용 안내 방송을 쓰세요.

  • 시험처럼 한 번 듣고, 다시 듣기 전에 답합니다.
  • 두 번째로 들으며 세 칸을 채웁니다: 행사, 마감일, 변경 사항과 예외.
  • 스크립트에서 by, until, still, instead, if, unless에 밑줄을 긋습니다.
  • 한 사람의 청자를 위해 다시 말해 봅니다: “If you need a loan laptop, request it by Tuesday.”
  • 변경 하나, 그대로인 내용 하나, 예외 하나가 들어간 짧은 안내문을 직접 씁니다.

다음 단계

모든 안내에 이렇게 물어보세요: “what exactly has changed, from when, and by when must I act?” 한 번 듣고 친구에게 안내 내용을 전해 줄 수 있다면 강의 듣기로 넘어가세요. 말하기 연습으로는 “An email works as long as…”로 시작해 이 질문에 답해 보세요: “What is the best way for a university to announce an important change: an email, an app notification or a notice in the building?”

자주 묻는 질문

TOEFL iBT의 “Listen to an Announcement”는 무엇인가요?

2026년에 도입된 TOEFL iBT 형식의 Listening 과제입니다. 짧은 안내 방송을 한 번 듣고 객관식 문제에 답합니다.

마감일과 행사 시간은 어떻게 구별하나요?

각 시간에 붙은 동사를 찾으세요. “The workshop is on Friday”는 행사이고, “book by Wednesday”는 마감이며 보통 행사보다 앞섭니다.

녹음을 다 이해했는데 왜 틀릴까요?

오답 선택지는 실제로 나온 내용을 엉뚱한 역할로 다시 씁니다. 예전 장소, 행사 시간, 다른 청자에게만 해당하는 단계 같은 것입니다.
