Seating and Layout for a Support Group
Venue coordinator (speaking English) and Group organiser (speaking Filipino) talk through “Seating and Layout for a Support Group”. You interpret both ways — English into Filipino, and Filipino into English — one segment at a time, exactly as in the CCL test.

Full transcript
Before we finalise the room layout for your support group at our Blacktown community centre, could you confirm how many people will attend the session?
Labing-apat po kaming dadalo sa ikatlo ng Nobyembre, alas-singko ng hapon. Pero sampung upuan lang ang nakalista sa booking. Puwede po bang dagdagan?
Your turn — don't read the rest yet. Hear this dialogue at native speed and interpret each segment aloud; AI marks what you kept, left out or changed, segment by segment. Your first full dialogue is marked free.
Interpret it aloud now →Yes, we can add four chairs. Would a circle suit your discussions, or would you prefer tables for participants who want to take written notes?
Mas gusto po namin na pabilog ang mga upuan para magkakakitaan kami. Kailangan lang po ng maliit na mesa malapit sa pinto para sa attendance sheet at tubig.
We can place a small table beside the entrance, provided it leaves the doorway clear. Does anyone in your group need extra space for mobility?
Opo, may isang kasali na gumagamit ng walker. Sana may sapat na puwang sa tabi ng upuan niya para hindi nakaharang sa dinadaanan.
I'll leave a wider gap in the circle for the walking frame. We can also move the loose rug so nobody catches a foot on it.
Salamat po. Puwede po bang ganito rin ang ayos bawat linggo? Para hindi na namin kailangang ilipat-lipat ang mga gamit bago magsimula ang grupo.
I'll record that layout with your weekly booking. Other groups also use this room, so please check the arrangement before each session and report any problems.
Sige po, aagahan ko ang dating para matingnan ang ayos. Saan po nakatago ang mga ekstrang upuan kung kulang pa rin pagdating namin?
The spare chairs are in the storage cupboard beside reception. Please ask a staff member for help, and keep the entrance clear when putting everything away.
Opo, lalapit ako sa staff kung kailangan namin ng tulong. Pagkatapos ng session, sisiguraduhin kong maayos ang mga upuan at walang nakaharang sa pinto.
Practise it
Reading a transcript is not interpreting. The practice room 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. Your first full dialogue is marked free.

Filipino CCL: practice test, vocabulary, test dates
How the test works
Continue with the NAATI CCL Filipino practice test and mock tests.
Practice dialogue written to the CCL specification (two speakers, segments of 35 words or fewer, about 300 words). It is a practice text, not a NAATI test paper, and the AI score is this site's estimate, not a NAATI result. All Filipino dialogues · All languages
