Full transcript
Before we start, can you confirm the exact date you and your husband separated, and that you have lived apart continuously for at least twelve months?
Opo, naghiwalay po kami noong ika-15 ng Enero, at mahigit labindalawang buwan na po kaming magkahiwalay, kahit minsan magkasama pa rin kami sa parehong bahay dahil sa gastos.
Do you have any children under eighteen with your husband, and if so, what are the current living and care arrangements for them?
Opo, may isang anak po kami, si Miguel, labinlimang taong gulang, at kasalukuyan siyang nakatira sa akin dito sa Blacktown, pero regular siyang bumibisita sa kanyang ama.
You will lodge your application online through the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia; the filing fee applies unless you qualify for a fee reduction.
Magkano po ang bayad sa paglalapit, at mayroon po bang diskwento kung mababa ang kita ko ngayon dahil parte-time lang ang trabaho ko?
Since your husband now lives in Manila, we will need to arrange formal service of the divorce documents there before any hearing can proceed.
Hindi ko na po alam ang eksaktong address niya ngayon, pero may kapatid siya roon na puwedeng tumulong maghanap sa kanya para sa papeles.
Because you have a child under eighteen, you may need to attend the hearing in person, though it's often conducted by phone or video link.
Kailan po kaya ang petsa ng pagdinig, at kailangan ko po bang pumunta mismo sa Sydney kung sa telepono naman puwede?
The divorce order becomes final one month and one day after the hearing, so we're aiming for early December for your final order.
Salamat po, inaasahan ko na lang ang abiso mula sa hukuman, at aayusin ko ang aking oras kung kinakailangan pa rin akong dumalo mismo.
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.
- federal circuitPanatilihin ang pangalan 'Federal Circuit Court' sa Ingles dahil ito ay opisyal na pangalan ng institusyon.
- family courtPanatilihin ang pangalan 'Family Court' sa Ingles o isalin bilang 'Hukuman ng Pamilya' kung kailangan ng malinaw na paglalarawan.
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.
