Full transcript
Thanks for coming in today. Your GP referred you for weight management support, and I understand your BMI is currently around thirty-two. Can you tell me about your typical daily eating habits?
Eerlijk gezegd sla ik vaak het ontbijt over, en 's avonds eet ik nogal wat snacks als ik gestrest ben.
How much physical activity do you get each week, and do you notice any joint pain when walking or exercising?
Ik wandel maar twee keer per week, want mijn knieën doen vaak pijn als ik langer sta of loop.
Does anyone in your family have type two diabetes or heart disease? This helps me understand your overall risk factors.
Mijn vader heeft suikerziekte type twee, en mijn moeder heeft hoge bloeddruk, dus ik maak me best zorgen.
I'd like to refer you to an exercise physiologist at Bendigo Health for a supervised program. It runs for twelve weeks and focuses on low-impact movement.
Zou ik ook kunnen zwemmen in dat programma? En moet ik daarvoor een aparte verwijzing van de huisarts regelen?
You won't need a separate referral for the pool sessions - they're included in the same program. There's a small fee, but concession discounts apply.
Dat is een opluchting, want zwemmen doet minder pijn aan mijn knieën dan wandelen. Wanneer kan ik beginnen?
Let's book your first session for next Monday, and I'll see you again in six weeks to check your weight and blood pressure.
Dank u wel. Ik zal er zeker zijn, en ik hoop dat ik tegen dan al wat vooruitgang heb geboekt.
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.
