Full transcript
Thanks for coming in today, Mr Cheung. I want to talk about the missed appointment on Wednesday and how it affects your Workforce Australia requirements.
唔好意思啊，阿Sir，嗰日我架車喺半路壞咗，搞到我遲咗好耐都返唔到嚟，我怕你哋會停我啲錢。
I understand, that's a reasonable explanation. Because you contacted us with a valid reason, your payment won't be suspended this time, but please notify us earlier next time.
哦，原來係咁，多謝晒。咁而家個制度話要儲分，係咪要交幾多份工先夠呢？
It's not a fixed number of job applications. Workforce Australia uses a points-based system, and you generally need to earn a set amount of points each month.
咁除咗申請工作之外，仲有咩活動都可以計分㗎？好似讀書或者做義工得唔得？
Yes, training courses, volunteering, and interviews all count. For example, you have an interview at the café on Baird Street next Thursday at 2:15pm.
好，我記低咗喇。咁面試完之後，係咪要用myGov個App上載確認信呢？
Not through myGov. You'll log job search activities and upload confirmation through your Workforce Australia online account or the Workforce Australia app instead.
明白喇，我會用返嗰個App。咁如果我下次唔小心又冇通知就唔見咗約，會點㗎？
Even one missed appointment without a valid reason can trigger a compliance review, and your payment could be suspended immediately, so please call us beforehand if you can't attend.
明白晒，多謝你解釋咁清楚，下次如果有事我一定會提前打電話畀你哋。
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.
- mygov直接講「myGov」呢個專有名詞,唔使意譯。
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.
