Full transcript
What symptoms have you been experiencing this season since the pollen count started rising sharply last Tuesday, and how severe are they?
Minulla on ollut aivastelua joka aamu, silmät kutisevat ja vuotavat, ja nenä on tukossa. Oireet pahenevat aina, kun olen puutarhassa.
Have you personally ever been diagnosed with asthma or noticed wheezing before, or is this the very first time you've had these kinds of reactions?
Minulla ei ole koskaan ollut astmaa eikä hengityksen vinkumista, mutta isoäidilläni oli aikoinaan vakavia allergioita.
I'd recommend starting a non-drowsy antihistamine tablet once daily, which you can buy over the counter at Chemist Warehouse without needing a prescription today.
Voinko silti ajaa autoa, jos otan tämän lääkkeen, vai tulenko siitä väsyneeksi ja huonokuntoiseksi?
This particular tablet shouldn't cause drowsiness for most people, but please avoid driving initially until you know exactly how your body responds.
Onko siitepölymäärä tänään erityisen korkea, ja pitäisikö minun välttää ulkona liikkumista tiettyinä kellonaikoina?
You can check the Bureau of Meteorology app each morning; today's pollen count is extremely high across the greater Wollongong region this week.
Entä jos oireet eivät helpotu lääkkeestä huolimatta? Voinko silloin päästä erikoislääkärin vastaanotolle?
If your symptoms haven't improved within four weeks despite the medication, I'll refer you to an immunologist at Wollongong Hospital for further testing.
Kiitos paljon neuvoista. Yritän välttää ulkoilua keskipäivällä ja muistan ottaa lääkkeen joka aamu.
Practise it
Reading a transcript is not interpreting. The practice room 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.
