Full transcript
Thanks for coming in today, Ms. Chan. I've reviewed your mother's memory assessment results, and I'd like to talk through what they show and what comes next.
哦，好，我都好擔心佢呢排成日唔記得嘢，究竟呢個分數代表咩意思呀？
She scored eighteen out of thirty on the cognitive test, which suggests moderate memory decline consistent with dementia, rather than normal ageing changes.
咁即係話佢病情幾嚴重呢？係咪一定要食藥先得，定係有冇得唔食呀？
There's a medication that can help slow the symptoms, but it won't cure the condition. She needs to take it twice daily, morning and evening.
咁佢係咪唔可以再自己揸車出街喇？佢平時買餸睇醫生都係自己揸車㗎。
Unless she passes a specific driving assessment, she shouldn't continue driving for now, as her reaction time and judgement may be affected.
咁樣佢出入就好唔方便喇，有冇啲支援服務可以幫到佢呀？
You can contact My Aged Care to arrange an assessment for home support services, including transport, personal care, and help around the house.
咁申請呢啲服務使唔使俾好多錢㗎？定係政府有津貼幫補呀？
It's means-tested, but many services are subsidised for eligible clients. I'll book a follow-up review in three months at Bankstown-Lidcombe Hospital.
好，多謝你醫生，我盡快聯絡My Aged Care，跟住準時嚟覆診。
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.
- my aged care考試嗰陣直接講英文專有名詞"My Aged Care"，因為佢係服務名稱，冇通用嘅廣東話講法，可以補充講「政府嘅長者照顧服務入口」嚟解釋。
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.
