Full transcript
Since we adjusted your antidepressant dose four weeks ago, how have your mood, sleep, and energy levels been this past week?
Franchement docteur, je ne dors presque plus, et le matin j'ai du mal à sortir du lit. Je me sens toujours aussi fatigué qu'avant.
Have you had any thoughts of harming yourself, or moments when life felt not worth living, even briefly?
Non, je n'ai pas de pensées comme ça, mais je suis vraiment épuisé, comme si tout demandait un effort énorme.
I'd like to refer you to a psychologist at the headspace Bankstown clinic, so you can get talking therapy alongside your current medication.
Est-ce que je peux voir le psychologue à headspace Bankstown tout de suite, sans attendre plusieurs semaines ?
If you're in crisis right now, headspace Bankstown can see you the same day; otherwise, without an urgent flag, the usual wait for a first appointment is about three days.
D'accord, c'est rassurant. Est-ce que Medicare va couvrir ces séances, ou est-ce que je vais devoir payer de ma poche ?
Yes — under a mental health treatment plan, Medicare covers a set number of sessions, so you won't be paying the full fee yourself.
Très bien. Et pour vous, docteur, quand est-ce que je dois revenir vous voir ?
Let's book your review for three weeks from today, and in the meantime, try a short walk each morning, even just fifteen minutes.
D'accord, je vais essayer de marcher chaque matin. Merci beaucoup, docteur, ça me fait du bien d'en parler.
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.
- medicareOn garde le mot anglais « Medicare » tel quel, sans le traduire.
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.
