Full transcript
Mr Botha, your blood pressure today reads 152 over 95, which is higher than at your last visit here. Have you been taking your tablets every single morning without skipping any doses?
Ek het die afgelope week 'n paar dosisse gemis, Dokter, want ek het snags nie goed geslaap nie en in die oggende hoofpyn en 'n bietjie duiseligheid gehad.
Do these headaches occur every single morning, or only sometimes during the week? Have you noticed any blurred vision or nausea as well?
Dit gebeur byna elke oggend wanneer ek opstaan, maar ek het nie vaag sig of naarheid nie, net 'n effense duiseligheid wat gou weer weggaan.
I'll adjust your medication dose slightly and refer you to a cardiologist at Royal Perth Hospital for a more thorough assessment soon.
Hoe lank sal ek moet wag vir daardie afspraak by die hospitaal, en gaan dit vir my iets kos?
The appointment should be scheduled within about three weeks, and since it's covered under Medicare, there won't be any cost to you.
Dankie, Dokter. Moet ek ook iets aan my dieet verander, soos minder sout eet of anders kook?
Yes, please reduce your salt intake, and try walking for around 30 minutes daily, if your knees can manage that comfortably.
Is dit nog reg as ek af en toe saans 'n glas rooiwyn drink, of moet ek liewer heeltemal ophou drink?
If you drink more than two standard drinks each day, it can raise your blood pressure further, so please try to limit it.
Ek verstaan nou, Dokter. Ek sal my tablette elke oggend neem en nie weer dosisse oorslaan nie.
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 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.
