Full transcript
Before we discuss a declaration, Ms Darwish, could you explain how your name appears on each document and what you need them for?
جواز سفري الصادر سنة ألفين وواحد وعشرين مكتوب فيه سما درويش، وشهادة التدريب بتاريخ ألفين وستة عشر مكتوب فيها سمر درويش. جهة العمل طلبت مني أوضح الفرق.
Your turn — don't read the rest yet. Hear this dialogue at native speed and interpret each segment aloud; AI marks what you kept, left out or changed, segment by segment. Your first full dialogue is marked free.
Interpret it aloud now →Sama and Samar sound different because Samar has an extra final consonant. Are both documents yours, and have you ever used Samar in daily life?
نعم، الوثيقتين إلي، بس اسمي سما، وما استعملت اسم سمر أبدا. بالشهادة في راء زيادة بآخر الاسم. أنا متأكدة إن الشهادة إلي، لأني حضرت الدورة ونجحت فيها.
We can discuss a statutory declaration explaining that discrepancy and identifying both documents. It should describe what you know personally, without assuming why the error occurred.
تمام، أنا بعرف إن الشهادة إلي، وعندي كشف بنتائج الدورة عليه اسمي الصحيح. بس ما بعرف مين كتب الاسم غلط. ممكن نذكر الكشف كمان؟
That record may help support your explanation. Bring the originals to our Auburn legal centre so I can check the names before we draft anything.
أكيد، بجيب الأصول وكشف النتائج. بس إذا عملنا الإقرار، هل جهة العمل ملزمة تقبله؟ أنا خايفة يرفضوا طلبي بسبب اختلاف الاسم.
A declaration cannot guarantee acceptance by your employer. Ask what evidence they require; they may request a corrected certificate or further records before making their decision.
فهمت، رح أسأل جهة العمل شو الأدلة المطلوبة، وأتواصل مع مركز التدريب بخصوص تصحيح الشهادة. أنا مستعدة أشرح الموضوع، بس ما بدي أذكر شي مش متأكدة منه.
Once you have their response, we can review your documents together and decide whether a declaration is useful, then discuss how to have it witnessed.
طيب يا أستاذ، رح أرجع لك بردهم ومعي كل الأوراق. وبدي تراجع معي نص الإقرار قبل ما أوقع، حتى أكون فاهمة كل اللي فيه.
