Full transcript
Thanks for coming in this morning, Mr. Botha. I've reviewed your resume — you've got solid warehouse experience. Let's talk about what roles might suit you here in Adelaide.
Dankie dat julle my kon inpas. Ek het sewe jaar in 'n pakhuis in Pretoria gewerk, maar ek soek nou iets naby my huis in Elizabeth.
That's great background. There's a full-time forklift operator position at a logistics company in Elizabeth — but you'd need a current forklift licence. Do you have one?
Ja, ek het my lisensie, maar dit het verval verlede jaar. Ek sal dit moet hernu voordat ek kan begin werk.
No problem — SafeWork SA runs renewal courses quite regularly. Once that's sorted, I can submit your application this week.
Goed, ek sal die eerskomende kursus bespreek. Hoe lank duur die aansoekproses gewoonlik voordat 'n werkgewer terugvoer gee?
Usually two to three weeks, depending on interviews. The pay rate for this role starts at twenty-eight dollars an hour, plus penalty rates on weekends.
Dit klink redelik. Sal ek deeltyds kan werk aan die begin, of moet dit outomaties voltyds wees?
It can start part-time — about 25 hours a week — then move to full-time if both sides are happy after a month.
Dit sal goed werk vir my, aangesien ek nog na my ma sorg wat onlangs geopereer is.
Understood. I'll need your updated licence and a police check before we finalise anything — no application can proceed without those.
Ek verstaan. Ek sal albei so gou moontlik reël en jou laat weet sodra dit klaar is.
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.
- penalty ratesGebruik 'penalty rates' as term, of verduidelik as 'ekstra betaling vir werk op naweke/vakansiedae'.
- police checkSê 'polisiesertifikaat' of 'polisieklaringsertifikaat'.
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.
