Full transcript
Tell me more about when this back pain started, what you were doing at the time, and how it's affecting you daily.
Dit het Maandag begin toe ek by die pakhuis in Kwinana swaar dose opgetel het. Sedertdien is my onderrug baie styf.
On a scale of one to ten, how bad is the pain, and does it spread down your leg or cause numbness?
Dit voel na omtrent sewe uit tien, en soms kry ek 'n tinteling wat afskiet na my linkerbeen toe.
I'll check your movement and reflexes now. If there's no improvement within two weeks, we may need an X-ray to rule out disc involvement.
As ek 'n X-straal nodig het, hoe lank sal ek by Fiona Stanley Hospital moet wag, en gaan dit iets kos?
Fiona Stanley Hospital's imaging department currently has about a three-week wait for non-urgent X-rays, but Medicare covers the cost fully if your GP provides a referral.
Goed, dan wag ek maar. Wat kan ek intussen doen om die pyn nou dadelik te verlig?
Apply ice for fifteen minutes several times a day, do gentle stretches, and avoid heavy lifting until your follow-up appointment.
Kan ek nog steeds bestuur en my gewone werk by die pakhuis doen, of moet ek ligter pligte vra?
Driving short distances is fine, but ask your supervisor for modified duties and no lifting over five kilograms until we review you next week.
Dankie, fisioterapeut, ek sal met my baas praat oor ligter pligte en ek sien u volgende week weer.
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.
Practise it
Reading a transcript is not interpreting. The practice room 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. Your first full dialogue is marked free.
