Full transcript
Since we last spoke, how has your sleep and mood been on the sertraline, and have you noticed any side effects at all?
Unijaksoni on parantunut vähän, mutta olen silti tosi väsynyt päivällä. Lääkäri nosti annoksen sadaksi milligrammaksi viikko sitten, mutta en ole huomannut mitään sivuvaikutuksia.
Your next review with me is booked for Thursday at ten in the morning; will that day and time still suit you?
Torstai aamu kymmeneltä sopii minulle hyvin, mutta minulla ei ole autoa. Pääsenkö sinne bussilla, jos kävelymatka on liian pitkä?
Yes, the number six bus stops right outside our clinic, and the trip from your street usually takes about twenty minutes each way.
Kiitos, se helpottaa paljon. Onko olemassa mitään muuta tukea, esimerkiksi ryhmää, missä voisin puhua muiden nuorten kanssa?
There's also a headspace centre here in Bendigo that runs weekly support groups for young adults, if you'd like some extra help.
Kuulostaa hyvältä, mutta minulla ei ole rahaa ylimääräisiin maksuihin. Maksaako se ryhmä mitään, ja tarvitseeko minun ensin käydä lääkärissä?
It's completely free under Medicare, and you don't need a doctor's referral to attend, so there's no extra cost for you at all.
Ymmärrän, kiitos. Työnantajani saattaa kysyä, miksi olen poissa vuoroista näiden käyntien takia — voisitteko auttaa selityksen kanssa?
I can write a letter for your employer explaining your appointments, and please keep taking the medication exactly as your doctor prescribed.
Selvä, tulen torstaina kello kymmeneltä, ja jatkan lääkkeen ottamista ohjeiden mukaan. Kiitos avusta.
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.
- medicareSano vain 'Medicare' sellaisenaan, se on erisnimi eikä sitä käännetä.
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.
