Full transcript
Hi, I'm Claire from the AMWU. I'm visiting the Dandenong site today to talk with workers about joining our union. Do you have five minutes?
أهلاً، سمعت عن نقابتكم من قبل. كم هي رسوم العضوية الأسبوعية، وما هي الفوائد الحقيقية للانضمام؟
Membership costs eight dollars a week, deducted from your pay. It covers legal advice, dispute support, and pay negotiations — there's no obligation to join immediately.
طيب، لكن هل سأفقد وظيفتي إذا لم أنضم؟ بعض زملائي قالوا إن الإدارة قد لا ترتاح لذلك.
No, joining or not joining has no effect on your job security. It's completely your choice, and the Fair Work Commission protects that right.
حسناً، هذا مطمئن. كيف تُخصم الرسوم بالضبط؟ هل هي من الراتب مباشرة أم أدفعها بنفسي؟
It's deducted directly from your payroll each fortnight, so you won't need to make separate payments. You can cancel anytime if you change your mind.
جيد. إذن كيف أنضم رسمياً؟ هل يوجد نموذج معين يجب أن أوقعه؟
Yes, just fill out this short form with your details and sign it. I'll submit it before Thursday so it's processed this pay cycle.
تمام، سأوقع الآن. لو حصل خلاف مع المدير بخصوص الرواتب مستقبلاً، هل تساعدونني فعلياً؟
Yes, a union representative can attend meetings with you and negotiate directly with management on pay or safety disputes.
ممتاز، هذا يريحني كثيراً. شكراً لك، سأنضم الآن بكل سرور.
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.
- membership costsيقال 'رسوم العضوية' أو 'تكاليف العضوية'، وهي ترجمة مباشرة ودقيقة.
- fair workيُقال الاسم كما هو Fair Work لأنه اسم مؤسسة رسمية.
- fair work commissionيُقال الاسم كما هو بالإنجليزية 'Fair Work Commission'، ويمكن إضافة عبارة توضيحية مثل 'هيئة العمل العادل' عند الحاجة لكن الاسم الرسمي يبقى بالإنجليزية.
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.
