من الأول من يونيو، نزلت مناوباتي من خمس مناوبات بالأسبوع إلى مناوبتين. أنا محتاجة ساعات أكثر، وحابة أعرف إذا هذا التغيير مؤقت.

SEGMENT 3 · ENGLISH · 29 WORDS
Store manager

Sales at our Liverpool store have slowed, so fewer shifts are available. It's nothing to do with your performance, but I can't yet say how long this will last.

SEGMENT 4 · ARABIC · 29 WORDS
Casual employee

ارتحت لما وضحت لي، كنت خايفة يكون في ملاحظة على شغلي. أنا متاحة بعطلة نهاية الأسبوع، فهل ممكن ألاقي مناوبات أكثر في هالأيام؟

SEGMENT 5 · ENGLISH · 26 WORDS
Store manager

Weekend availability could help, especially for early starts. If you agree, I can add your name to the list for covering shifts when colleagues are absent.

SEGMENT 6 · ARABIC · 34 WORDS
Casual employee

موافقة، وأنا مستعدة أبدأ الصبح بدري في عطلة نهاية الأسبوع. بس بعض أيام الأسبوع ما بقدر أشتغل بعد الظهر. هل ممكن أعتذر عن مناوبة إضافية؟

SEGMENT 7 · ENGLISH · 27 WORDS
Store manager

You can decline a covering shift if you are unavailable. Tell me which afternoons suit you, and I will update the availability recorded in our scheduling system.

SEGMENT 8 · ARABIC · 31 WORDS
Casual employee

أنا متاحة الأربعاء والجمعة بعد الساعة الثانية، وعطلة نهاية الأسبوع كلها. سجل هالأوقات لو سمحت. ومتى بينزل جدول الأسبوع الجاي، ووين بقدر أشوفه؟

SEGMENT 9 · ENGLISH · 26 WORDS
Store manager

We release rosters every Thursday through the staff app. Please check your notifications, because additional shifts may also appear there after the weekly roster is published.

SEGMENT 10 · ARABIC · 31 WORDS
Casual employee

تمام، التنبيهات عندي كانت مقفلة، ورح أشغلها وأتابع التطبيق. بس حابة أتأكد، هل تسجيل الأوقات الجديدة يعني إني رح أرجع لخمس مناوبات بالأسبوع؟

SEGMENT 11 · ENGLISH · 26 WORDS
Store manager

I cannot promise five shifts each week, but I will consider your updated availability. Let's review your hours together after the next two rosters are released.

SEGMENT 12 · ARABIC · 29 WORDS
Casual employee

متفقة معك، خلينا نراجع ساعاتي بعد الجدولين الجايين. رح أتابع المناوبات الإضافية على التطبيق، وإذا تغيرت الأوقات اللي بقدر أشتغل فيها، رح أخبرك.

Practise it

Reading a transcript is not interpreting. The practice room 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.

We check every 2 hours. NAATI updates its list about once a day, so this is not a live seat alert. One email to confirm, then one per change, nothing else. Stop any time in one tap.
