Full transcript
Thanks for coming in, Mrs. Papadopoulou. Your GP referred you after you told her you've been struggling since your husband passed away three weeks ago.
Ναι... δεν μπορώ να κοιμηθώ τα βράδια και νιώθω ένα βάρος στο στήθος συνέχεια. Δεν ξέρω αν είναι φυσιολογικό ή αν κάτι δεν πάει καλά με μένα.
That sounds really difficult, and it's a normal reaction to grief. Have you had any thoughts of harming yourself, or has your appetite changed recently?
Όχι, δεν σκέφτομαι να κάνω κακό στον εαυτό μου, αλλά δεν έχω καθόλου όρεξη. Έχασα περίπου τέσσερα κιλά τον τελευταίο μήνα.
I'd like to refer you to a psychologist through Monash Health, and we can also give you the Beyond Blue helpline number for support anytime.
Ευχαριστώ πολύ. Πόσο καιρό θα χρειαστεί να δω τον ψυχολόγο; Δεν θέλω να περιμένω πολλές εβδομάδες.
The wait is usually about two weeks, though urgent cases can be seen sooner if needed.
Ωραία, αυτό με καθησυχάζει. Θα χρειαστεί να πάρω φάρμακα ή μπορούμε να προσπαθήσουμε πρώτα χωρίς αυτά;
We won't start medication straight away. We'll focus on counselling first, and only consider medication if your symptoms don't improve within a month.
Καλά, προτιμώ να προσπαθήσω χωρίς φάρμακα προς το παρόν. Ευχαριστώ που με ακούσατε.
That sounds like a good plan. Let's book your first psychology session for next Thursday, and please call Lifeline if things feel too much before then.
Εντάξει, θα είμαι εδώ την Πέμπτη. Ευχαριστώ πολύ για όλη τη βοήθεια σήμερα.
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.
