Full transcript
Can you describe exactly what you were doing and how you felt just before your breathing became difficult this afternoon, and how long did it last?
Bio sam u dvorištu i kosio travu kad sam odjednom osjetio stezanje u prsima i počeo sam teško disati. To je počelo prije otprilike dvadeset minuta.
Have you used your Ventolin puffer today, and if so, how many puffs did you take, and did it actually help you breathe easier?
Da, uzeo sam četiri udaha iz Ventolina, ali nije mi puno pomoglo, disanje je ostalo otežano.
Do you have a family history of asthma, and are there any known triggers at home, such as cigarette smoke, dust, pollen, or pets?
Moj otac je imao astmu, a mislim da me najviše smeta prašina i dim, posebno kad netko puši u blizini.
We'll start a nebuliser treatment now, and if your oxygen saturation doesn't improve within the next hour, we may need to admit you overnight to Liverpool Hospital for observation.
Razumijem, ali nadam se da neću morati ostati preko noći, imam posao sutra ujutro.
Please arrange a follow-up appointment with your regular GP within three days, even if you're feeling completely fine, so we can review your medication plan.
Dobro, dogovorit ću termin kod svog liječnika opće prakse u sljedeća tri dana, čak i ako se budem osjećao bolje.
Make sure you always carry your reliever puffer with you, and follow your written asthma action plan immediately if any symptoms return, even mild ones.
Hvala vam, nosit ću inhalator sa sobom i pratit ću plan djelovanja ako se simptomi vrate.
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 planReći 'plan za liječenje astme' ili 'akcijski plan za astmu' – opisno ali jasno.
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.
