Read it first if you like, then practise it cold: the recording plays one segment, you interpret, the next segment plays. Marking shows, segment by segment, what you kept, left out or changed.
Full transcript with model answers
Under each segment: a model interpretation, the information points an examiner checks, and the easiest thing to miss. Try the segment yourself first, then open it. The model is one good way to say it; other wordings that keep every point score just as well.
Let's go through your thirty-week antenatal check today, Frau Baumann. How have you been feeling since your last appointment two weeks ago?
Model answer and marking points
Gehen wir heute Ihre Vorsorgeuntersuchung in der dreißigsten Schwangerschaftswoche durch, Frau Baumann. Wie haben Sie sich seit Ihrem letzten Termin vor zwei Wochen gefühlt?
What an examiner checks here:
- thirty-week antenatal check-up today
- addressed to Frau Baumann
- question: how have you been feeling
- since last appointment two weeks ago
Easy to miss: Keep both numbers apart: thirty weeks pregnant versus two weeks since the last appointment.
Ich bin ziemlich müde und habe seit ein paar Tagen Rückenschmerzen. Nachts schlafe ich auch schlecht, weil das Baby ständig tritt.
Model answer and marking points
I've been quite tired and I've had back pain for a few days. I'm also sleeping badly at night because the baby keeps kicking.
What an examiner checks here:
- quite tired
- back pain for a few days
- sleeping badly at night
- reason: baby kicks constantly
Easy to miss: Rückenschmerzen is back pain, not stomach or pelvic pain; keep the causal link to the kicking.

Interpret it aloud now →Have you noticed how often the baby moves each day? Can you also tell me if you've had any headaches, dizziness, or blurred vision recently?
Model answer and marking points
Haben Sie darauf geachtet, wie oft sich das Baby jeden Tag bewegt? Können Sie mir auch sagen, ob Sie in letzter Zeit Kopfschmerzen, Schwindel oder verschwommenes Sehen hatten?
What an examiner checks here:
- question: how often baby moves each day
- question: any headaches recently
- question: any dizziness
- question: any blurred vision
Easy to miss: All three symptoms must be listed; blurred vision is the one most often dropped.
Das Baby bewegt sich normal, meistens abends. Kopfschmerzen oder Schwindel habe ich keine, aber meine Füße sind seit gestern etwas geschwollen.
Model answer and marking points
The baby moves normally, mostly in the evenings. I haven't had any headaches or dizziness, but my feet have been a bit swollen since yesterday.
What an examiner checks here:
- baby moves normally
- mostly in the evenings
- no headaches, no dizziness
- feet slightly swollen
- since yesterday
Easy to miss: Do not turn the negation around: she has NO headaches or dizziness; the swelling started yesterday, not days ago.
Mild swelling in the feet is fairly common at this stage, but let me check your blood pressure and reflexes to be sure everything's fine.
Model answer and marking points
Leichte Schwellungen an den Füßen sind in diesem Stadium ziemlich häufig, aber ich messe sicherheitshalber Ihren Blutdruck und prüfe Ihre Reflexe, damit wir sicher sind, dass alles in Ordnung ist.
What an examiner checks here:
- mild foot swelling fairly common at this stage
- will check blood pressure
- will check reflexes
- purpose: to be sure everything is fine
Easy to miss: Keep both checks, blood pressure AND reflexes; swelling is described as mild and common, not as a concern.
Das beruhigt mich sehr. Übrigens, meine Schwester hat gesagt, ich sollte mich gegen Keuchhusten impfen lassen. Ist das bei mir schon möglich?
Model answer and marking points
That's very reassuring. By the way, my sister said I should get vaccinated against whooping cough. Is that already possible for me?
What an examiner checks here:
- feels very reassured
- sister advised the vaccination
- vaccine against whooping cough (Keuchhusten)
- question: is it already possible for me
Easy to miss: Keuchhusten is whooping cough (pertussis), not a cold or bronchitis; it was the sister who gave the advice.
Yes, pertussis vaccination is recommended between twenty and thirty-two weeks of pregnancy, so right now is actually a good time to arrange it.
Model answer and marking points
Ja, die Keuchhustenimpfung wird zwischen der zwanzigsten und der zweiunddreißigsten Schwangerschaftswoche empfohlen, also ist jetzt eigentlich ein guter Zeitpunkt, das zu organisieren.
What an examiner checks here:
- yes, pertussis vaccination recommended
- window: 20 to 32 weeks of pregnancy
- now is a good time
- to arrange it
Easy to miss: The window is twenty to thirty-two weeks; getting either end wrong changes the medical advice.
Ich bin jetzt in der dreißigsten Schwangerschaftswoche. Ich hatte schon Angst, dass ich den richtigen Zeitpunkt verpasst habe.
Model answer and marking points
I'm now in my thirtieth week of pregnancy. I was already worried that I'd missed the right time.
What an examiner checks here:
- currently thirty weeks pregnant
- was worried
- thought she had missed the right time
Easy to miss: She feared she had missed the window; do not render it as though she actually missed it.
Not at all — you still have two weeks left in that window, and Nepean Hospital's clinic can give it today if you're free.
Model answer and marking points
Überhaupt nicht – Sie haben in diesem Zeitfenster noch zwei Wochen Zeit, und die Ambulanz des Nepean Hospital kann die Impfung heute geben, wenn Sie Zeit haben.
What an examiner checks here:
- not at all (reassurance)
- two weeks left in the window
- Nepean Hospital clinic
- can give it today
- condition: if she is free
Easy to miss: Keep the hospital name Nepean and the condition 'if you're free'; two weeks left, not two weeks ago.
Das wäre wunderbar. Kann ich die Impfung vielleicht heute noch bekommen?
Model answer and marking points
That would be wonderful. Could I perhaps get the vaccination today?
What an examiner checks here:
- that would be wonderful
- question: can I get the vaccination today
Easy to miss: This is a question, not a statement that she will get it today.
Yes, as long as you haven't already had it this pregnancy, the nurse can vaccinate you this afternoon at three o'clock.
Model answer and marking points
Ja, solange Sie die Impfung in dieser Schwangerschaft noch nicht bekommen haben, kann die Krankenschwester Sie heute Nachmittag um drei Uhr impfen.
What an examiner checks here:
- yes
- condition: not already had it this pregnancy
- nurse will vaccinate
- this afternoon at three o'clock
Easy to miss: The condition 'as long as you haven't already had it this pregnancy' must be kept in full.
Das ist perfekt, vielen Dank. Dann warte ich hier und komme um drei Uhr zur Impfung.
Model answer and marking points
That's perfect, thank you very much. Then I'll wait here and come for the vaccination at three o'clock.
What an examiner checks here:
- perfect, thank you
- will wait here
- come for vaccination at three o'clock
Easy to miss: Keep 'wait here' and the time three o'clock; do not add 'this afternoon' or other details.
