Full transcript
Thanks for coming in today, Mr. Botha. Before we start, could you tell me what's been troubling you these past few weeks?
Dankie... dit is moeilik gewees. Ek kan nie behoorlik slaap nie, en ek voel baie angstig oor die werk wat ek onlangs verloor het.
How many hours are you sleeping each night on average, and have you noticed any changes in your appetite or energy levels?
Ek slaap sowat drie tot vier ure per nag, en ek eet ook nie behoorlik nie. Ek het glad nie energie vir enigiets nie.
That sounds really difficult to manage. If your GP refers you, Medicare's Mental Health Care Plan can cover up to ten sessions with a psychologist.
Dit sal baie help, want ek kan nie op die oomblik baie geld aan behandeling spandeer nie. Hoe gou kan ek 'n afspraak kry?
Your GP can arrange the referral this week, and I can also give you Lifeline's number in case you need urgent support at night time.
Dit sal goed wees om te weet ek kan iemand bel as dit te erg raak. Sal my familie ook by die berading betrokke kan raak?
Yes, we can certainly arrange a family session if you feel comfortable with that, perhaps next Thursday morning at ten o'clock.
Ja, ek dink dit sal goed wees. My vrou wil ook graag verstaan hoe sy my kan help deur hierdie tyd.
Good, I'll note that down. Please don't hesitate to call Lifeline on 13 11 14 if things feel overwhelming before our next appointment.
Dankie, dokter. Ek voel al 'n bietjie beter net om te weet daar is hulp beskikbaar.
Terms in this dialogue that cost marks
CCL is marked on information transferred. These Australian terms have no direct word in most test languages — get one wrong and the segment's information is gone.
- medicareSê net 'Medicare' soos dit is; dit is 'n eiename en het geen Afrikaanse vertaling nie.
- mental health care planVerduidelik dit as 'n geestesgesondheidsorgplan deur die dokter opgestel vir gesubsidieerde beradingsessies; die term self kan getranslitereer word as 'geestesgesondheidsplan'.
- lifelineSê net 'Lifeline' soos dit is, aangesien dit 'n eiename is.
Practise it
Reading a transcript is not interpreting. The free daily dialogue on this site plays each segment at native speed, records you, and marks the information you transferred against the same categories examiners use — omissions, distortions, insertions — so you know where the marks went.
