Full transcript
Thanks for coming in today, Ms. Wong. You said your left eye's been red and sticky since Monday morning — can you describe it further for me?
係啊醫生，尋日朝早開始，隻左眼又紅又痕，仲成日流啲黃色嘅分泌物出嚟，早上瞓醒嗰陣仲成隻眼黐埋晒，好唔舒服。
Your eye looks inflamed with a yellow discharge, and there's no pain when I press near the eyelid. This looks like bacterial conjunctivitis, not viral.
咁會唔會傳染㗎？我屋企仲有阿媽同兩個細路仔同我一齊住，佢哋會唔會中招㗎？
Yes, it can spread through close contact or shared towels. If your family avoids sharing towels or pillows and washes hands often, the risk stays low.
咁即係要點醫呢？要唔要食藥定係點呀？
I'll prescribe antibiotic eye drops — use one drop in the affected eye four times a day for five days, even if it improves sooner.
我係做幼兒園老師㗎，咁我幾時先可以返工呀？
For childcare work, you shouldn't return until the discharge has completely stopped, not just after a set number of hours — that could still be several days.
咁我可唔可以去屋企附近隨便一間藥房攞藥呀？使唔使帶埋Medicare咭呀？
Any pharmacy can fill this prescription — just bring your Medicare card. Come back in one week if the redness or discharge hasn't cleared up.
明白晒喇，多謝醫生解釋得咁清楚，我會叫屋企人小心啲，都會跟足鐘數食藥同滴眼藥水。
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.
- medicare直接講「Medicare」呢個英文詞就得，因為係專有名詞，廣東話冇對應詞。
- medicare card講「Medicare卡」就得，保留Medicare呢個專有名詞。
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.
