Full transcript
Let's start with what's brought you in today, Mr. Botha — your file shows you finished up at the Bunnings distribution centre last month, is that right?
Ja, korrek. Hulle het my sonder enige vooraf kennisgewing laat gaan verlede Vrydag, na agt jaar diens by Bunnings.
That's a long stretch of service to lose overnight. Did they pay any redundancy entitlement, or should we refer that question directly to the Fair Work Ombudsman for clarification?
Hulle het 'n gedeelte betaal, maar geen kennisgewingsvergoeding nie. Ek wil liewer net weet hoe u my kan help om vinnig weer werk te kry.
You'll need to register with Workforce Australia online, then attend a fortnightly appointment — your first one's booked for half past nine next Thursday morning, alright?
Ek het ongelukkig nie 'n rekenaar by die huis nie — is daar 'n ander manier waarop ek kan registreer?
No problem at all—you can use one of our computers here today, and I'll show you three current warehouse listings that closely match your experience.
Dankie, dit sal help. Sal u ook my CV kan bywerk, want ek het dit nie in jare opgedateer nie?
Yes, if you attend two resume workshops this month, we'll have an updated CV ready well before your next scheduled appointment.
Is daar enige koste verbonde aan hierdie werkswinkels, of is dit deel van die gratis diens?
There's no cost at all—it's fully funded through the program. I'll see you here next Thursday morning to finalise your CV and job plan.
Wonderlik, dankie vir die hulp. Ek sal beslis Donderdagoggend hier wees, want ek wil graag so gou moontlik weer aan die werk kom.
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.
- fair workSê 'Fair Work' soos dit is, aangesien dit 'n amptelike instansienaam is.
- ombudsmanSê die woord 'ombudsman' soos dit is, want Afrikaans gebruik dieselfde term; jy kan byvoeg 'onafhanklike klagte-liggaam' om dit te verduidelik.
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.
