Full transcript
Before we start the examination, can you tell me exactly where the pain is located and how many days you've been feeling it?
Dito po sa ibabang bahagi, sa kanang panga. Tatlong araw na po itong kumikirot, lalo na kapag ngumunguya ako.
Looking at the X-ray, I can see your lower right molar is badly decayed and can't be saved, so we'll need to extract it today.
Magkano po kaya ang gagastusin? May Bupa po akong insurance, pwede po ba nito masakop ang halaga?
I'll ask our reception staff to check your Bupa policy details, but you may still need to pay a small gap fee upfront.
Sige po, tanggalin na lang po ang ngipin. Masakit po ba habang ginagawa ninyo iyon?
We'll numb the area thoroughly with local anaesthetic, so you shouldn't feel any sharp pain, only some pressure for about fifteen minutes.
Nag-aalala po ako baka mamaga o dumugo nang matagal ang aking panga. Ano po ang dapat kong gawin pagkatapos?
Please bite firmly on the gauze for thirty minutes, and don't rinse your mouth or drink anything hot for the rest of today.
Sige po, susundin ko iyon. Kailan po ako babalik, at ilang araw ko po iinumin ang antibiotics?
I'll prescribe antibiotics for five days, and please come back next Thursday afternoon so we can check the socket is healing properly.
Salamat po, Dok. Babalik po ako sa Huwebes ng hapon, at susundin ko po nang mabuti ang lahat ng tagubilin ninyo.

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.
