Full transcript

SEGMENT 1 · ENGLISH · 27 WORDS
Employment Consultant

Thanks for coming in, Antoine. Before your interview at Bunnings Warehouse in Ballarat this Thursday at half past ten, let's quickly review your job search plan together.

SEGMENT 2 · FRENCH · 22 WORDS
Client

Merci. Honnêtement, je suis un peu nerveux car mon anglais n'est pas encore très bon, surtout pour parler de mon métier.

SEGMENT 3 · ENGLISH · 27 WORDS
Employment Consultant

I understand English can feel difficult in interviews. Could you tell me more about your qualifications from France, especially your electrician training and any certification you hold?

SEGMENT 4 · FRENCH · 25 WORDS
Client

En France, j'ai travaillé quinze ans comme électricien et j'ai un certificat de qualification professionnelle, mais je ne sais pas s'il est reconnu ici.

SEGMENT 5 · ENGLISH · 22 WORDS
Employment Consultant

You'll need Trades Recognition Australia to formally assess your French certification before you're allowed to work here as a fully qualified electrician.

SEGMENT 6 · FRENCH · 20 WORDS
Client

D'accord, mais combien de temps prend cette évaluation ? J'ai peur de ne pas remplir mes obligations pendant l'attente.

SEGMENT 7 · ENGLISH · 23 WORDS
Employment Consultant

While that's being processed, your job plan still requires twenty applications per fortnight, but entry-level roles like this Bunnings position definitely count too.

SEGMENT 8 · FRENCH · 21 WORDS
Client

Très bien, je comprends pour les vingt candidatures. Mais dois-je venir à chaque rendez-vous même si je suis malade ?

SEGMENT 9 · ENGLISH · 24 WORDS
Employment Consultant

If you're ever unwell, you don't need to attend in person—just call us beforehand, and bring a medical certificate so there's no penalty applied.

SEGMENT 10 · FRENCH · 18 WORDS
Client

Je comprends, merci. J'apporterai un certificat médical si jamais je ne peux pas venir à un rendez-vous.

SEGMENT 11 · ENGLISH · 25 WORDS
Employment Consultant

Good, let's confirm your next appointment for Monday the ninth of March, and please bring your assessment documents plus any original certificates you still have.

SEGMENT 12 · FRENCH · 17 WORDS
Client

Parfait, je note le lundi neuf mars. J'apporterai mon certificat français ainsi que tous mes documents d'évaluation.

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.

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.
