Full transcript
Thanks for coming in today, Mr Botha. Can you describe exactly how you hurt your back while working at the warehouse last week?
Ek was besig om kaste in die pakhuis te skuif toe ek skielik 'n skerp pyn in my onderrug gekry het.
On a scale from zero to ten, how severe is the pain right now, and is it worse at any particular time of day?
Die pyn is partykeer sewe uit tien, en dit voel veral in die oggende erger, sodra ek opstaan.
Do you notice any numbness or tingling down your leg, and what medication have you taken so far for the pain each day?
Ja, ek voel soms 'n tinteling in my linkerbeen, en ek het twee keer per dag ibuprofen geneem.
I'd like you to get an X-ray at Lismore Base Hospital. If the pain hasn't improved within two weeks, we'll refer you to a specialist.
Sal ek nog kan werk terwyl ek wag vir die X-straal by Lismore Base Hospital, of moet ek eerder tuis bly?
For now, avoid lifting anything heavier than five kilograms, and stick to light duties at work until your review appointment next month.
Ek is nie seker hoe die icare-eisproses werk nie. Moet ek self alles indien, of kan die kliniek my help?
You can lodge a claim through icare's online portal, but it won't be processed without a medical certificate from your GP.
Dankie, dokter. Ek sal my huisdokter vandag kontak vir die mediese sertifikaat en 'n opvolgafspraak maak.

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.
