Full transcript
Mr. Coetzee, before we start, can you describe exactly what the chest tightness feels like and what you're doing when it begins?
Dit voel soos 'n swaar druk op my bors, amper of iemand daarop sit. Dit begin gewoonlik wanneer ek trappe uitklim of vinnig loop.
Does that discomfort ever spread to your arm, jaw or back, and does it settle once you stop moving and rest?
Ja, dit trek na my linkerarm toe, en as ek stilstaan en rus, verdwyn dit gewoonlik binne 'n paar minute.
I'm prescribing a GTN spray for you to use under the tongue. If the pain doesn't ease within five minutes after two doses, call triple zero immediately.
Hoe gebruik ek die sprei presies, en is daar newe-effekte waarvoor ek moet oplet?
That's normal — some people get a mild headache or dizziness afterwards. We'll also arrange a stress test for you at Fiona Stanley Hospital next week.
Goed, dokter. Moet ek vas voor die toets, en hoe laat moet ek daar wees?
Your appointment is Thursday at half past nine in the morning. Please don't eat or drink anything except water after midnight the night before.
Ek verstaan. Moet ek nog steeds my ander pille soos gewoonlik drink voor die toets?
Keep taking your current heart tablets exactly as prescribed, but bring the GTN spray along with you on the day of the test.
Dankie, dokter. Ek sal alles onthou en beslis die sprei die dag van die toets saambring.
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.
- triple zeroSê 'nul-nul-nul' of hou dit as '000'; moet nie 'triple zero' woordeliks probeer vertaal met 'drie nulle' as 'n vreemde frase nie, eerder sê die syfers apart.
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.
