Full transcript
Thanks for coming in today. Your GP mentioned some weight concerns and slightly high blood pressure — can you tell me what's been happening this past year?
Ja, ek het die afgelope jaar omtrent tien kilogram opgetel, en my dokter sê my bloeddruk is nou 'n bietjie te hoog — daarom het hy my na u toe verwys.
How much walking or exercise do you currently do each week, and what does a typical day's eating look like for you?
Ek stap eintlik nooit nie, en ek eet gewoonlik net wat gou is — brood, pasta, so iets. Is die stapgroep gratis, en is dit naby my huis in Wollongong?
Yes, it's completely free — the walking group meets every Wednesday at seven thirty near Wollongong Botanic Garden, about ten minutes from your street.
Dit klink wonderlik, dankie! Moet ek spesiale kos koop, of kan ek net my porsies verminder?
You don't need special foods — just reduce portion sizes, fill half your plate with vegetables, and swap sugary drinks for water.
Goed, dit maak dit baie makliker. Hoe gereeld moet ek terugkom vir 'n opvolgafspraak?
Let's book a follow-up in six weeks to check your weight and blood pressure — please bring a food diary if you can.
Ses weke is reg vir my. Moet ek net alles skryf wat ek eet, of ook hoeveel water ek drink?
Just jot down what you eat and drink each day, including snacks — that will help us track your progress together.
Reg, ek sal 'n boekie koop en alles opskryf. Baie dankie vir u hulp vandag, dokter.
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.
