Full transcript
Mrs. Santos, thank you for coming in today—can you tell me what's been happening for you these past few weeks that's brought you here?
Doktor, hindi po ako makatulog nang maayos at madalas akong umiiyak simula nang mawalan ng trabaho ang asawa ko noong isang buwan.
I'm sorry to hear that. Have you had any thoughts of harming yourself, or is it mainly anxiety and low mood?
Hindi po, wala akong iniisip na saktan ang sarili ko, pero parang lagi akong kabado at hindi mapakali, lalo na sa gabi.
That's important to know, thank you. I'd like to set up a mental health care plan so you can see a psychologist at Barwon Health, up to ten sessions.
Salamat po, doktor. Pero magkano po kaya ang gagastusin ko at gaano katagal bago ako matanggap doon?
Most sessions there are bulk-billed, so there's little out-of-pocket cost, and the wait is usually about two weeks, unless your situation becomes urgent and needs faster care.
Ah, mabuti naman po iyon. Puwede po bang sumama ang asawa ko sa susunod na sesyon, dahil pareho po kaming apektado?
He's welcome to join later, but let's start with your own session first, then perhaps a support group on Thursday evenings.
Sige po, gagawin ko po iyon, pero medyo mahirap po dahil wala akong maiwanan sa mga bata sa gabi.
That's understandable—Beyond Blue also has online forums you can use anytime, and we'll review your progress again in two weeks.
Salamat po talaga, Doktor, mas gumaan po ang pakiramdam ko ngayon na alam kong may tutulong sa amin.
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.
- mental health care planGamitin ang "mental health care plan" o ipaliwanag bilang "plano ng pangangalaga sa kalusugang pangkaisipan mula sa doktor."
- beyond bluePanatilihin ang pangalan 'Beyond Blue' sa Ingles dahil ito ay proper noun/organisasyon.
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.
