Full transcript
Thanks for coming in today, Mr Chan. Before you leave, I'd like to go through your asthma action plan and check your inhaler technique together.
呢排晚黑瞓覺都成日咳醒,有時仲有啲哨聲添,好辛苦。
How many times a week do you wake up coughing at night, and does this happen even without a cold or infection?
大概一個禮拜有三次咁滯,尤其係轉季嗰陣時特別嚴重。
If you're using your blue reliever puffer more than four times a week, we probably need to increase your daily preventer dose.
其實我差唔多日日都要用個藍色噴劑,有時一日仲要嘬兩次添。
Let's also review your spacer technique - Liverpool Hospital pharmacy can supply a brand new one if yours is cracked, dirty or over a year old.
係喎,我個spacer都用咗好耐,個蓋都甩埋,係咪應該換過個新㗎?
Let's book a follow-up appointment in about six weeks, so we can check how your symptoms and lung function are progressing well.
好呀,六個禮拜之後嚟覆診冇問題,到時我再同你講吓啲徵狀有冇好轉。
Try to avoid dust and smoke exposure at home, and please make sure no one smokes indoors, especially around your children and grandchildren.
明白,屋企冇人食煙,不過我會叫個仔幫我洗吓張床單,同埋買個防塵蟎嘅枕頭套。
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.
- asthma action plan講「哮喘應變計劃」或者「哮喘行動計劃」都得,清楚表達係書面嘅醫療指引。
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.
