Full transcript
Thanks for meeting me during your break, Maria. I'm from United Workers Union, and I wanted to explain what membership could offer you here at Bupa Geelong.
Salamat po. Casual po kasi ako rito, kaya medyo nag-aalala ako kung talagang may proteksyon ang miyembro kapag may isyu sa trabaho.
As a member, you'd get free legal advice, help negotiating pay rises, and support if your shifts get cut without notice. Membership costs $8.50 a week.
Okay po iyon. Paano po ako sasali, at puwede rin po ba akong mag-resign anumang oras kung sakaling magbago ang isip ko?
You can sign up online today, and you may resign anytime with written notice. If you don't join before the vote on 14 March, you won't get to vote.
Sige po, gusto ko nang sumali. Puwede po bang ideduct na lang ang bayad sa unyon mula sa sahod ko kada linggo?
Yes, we can arrange payroll deduction so $8.50 comes out each week automatically. You'll also get a member card and access to our Geelong support line.
Salamat po. May isa pa po akong tanong — malalaman kaya ng employer ko na sumali ako sa unyon?
Your membership stays confidential — your employer won't be told unless you choose to raise something through Fair Work Commission yourself.
Mabuti naman po, kasi medyo kinakabahan ako. Ano pong mga dokumento ang kailangan ko para makumpleto ang aplikasyon ngayon?
You'll just need your employee number and a signature today — no other documents are required, and I'll bring the form to your ward tomorrow.
Salamat po talaga sa paliwanag ninyo. Aabangan ko po kayo bukas sa ward para pirmahan ang mga papeles.
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.
- membership costsIsalin bilang 'bayad sa membership' o 'gastos sa pagiging kasapi'.
- fair workPanatilihin bilang "Fair Work" dahil ito ay opisyal na pangalan ng ahensya.
- fair work commissionPanatilihin ang pangalang Fair Work Commission sa Ingles, pwedeng dagdagan ng maikling paliwanag tulad ng 'ang ahensyang humahawak ng mga reklamo sa trabaho.'
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.
