Full transcript
Thanks for coming in today. We have a casual position at the Bunnings distribution centre in Wetherill Park, picking and packing orders. Would you like to hear the details?
好呀，我想知呢份工要做幾多個鐘,人工係點計㗎?
It's casual work, up to twenty-five hours per week, paid fortnightly at twenty-eight dollars an hour, with penalty rates on weekends.
噉如果我張學生簽證有工作時數限制,係咪淨係做得到二十五個鐘呢?
Your student visa condition means you can't work more than forty-eight hours per fortnight while your course is in session.
明白晒,咁我最快幾時可以開始返工呀?
Great. If you're available, you could start next Thursday, the fourteenth of May, with induction training first thing that morning.
好,咁培訓喺邊度舉行呀?幾點鐘開始?
Induction starts at eight thirty am at the same site. You'll need enclosed footwear, and safety boots will be provided on your first day.
冇問題,我準時到。噉出糧係邊日㗎?
Pay day is every second Thursday, directly into your bank account. Please bring your tax file number, passport, and bank details for verification before you start.
明白,我會帶埋稅號、護照同銀行資料嚟。多謝晒!
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.
- penalty rates講「假期/公眾假日加薪」或者「額外津貼時薪」，都可以直接講「penalty rates」再解釋一下。
- visa condition講「簽證條件」就得，簡單直接表達咗個意思。
- tax file number保留英文「tax file number」或者簡稱TFN，可以加講法「稅號」。
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.
