Full transcript
Can you point to exactly where the headache sits, describe the type of pain, and tell me how long each episode usually lasts?
Ο πόνος είναι πίσω από το δεξί μου μάτι, σαν σφυγμός, και διαρκεί περίπου δύο ώρες. Μου συμβαίνει τρεις φορές την εβδομάδα.
Does light or noise make it worse, and have you noticed any nausea, blurred vision, or weakness in your arms or legs?
Ναι, το φως με ενοχλεί πολύ, αλλά δεν έχω ναυτία. Μερικές φορές η όρασή μου θολώνει για λίγα λεπτά.
I'd like to refer you to a neurologist at Prince of Wales Hospital for further assessment, including possibly an MRI scan of your brain.
Εντάξει, γιατρέ. Πρέπει να κλείσω εγώ το ραντεβού με τον νευρολόγο, ή θα το κανονίσετε εσείς;
You don't need to call them yourself; our clinic sends the referral electronically today, and the hospital's booking team will contact you directly by phone.
Και πόσο καιρό περίπου θα χρειαστεί μέχρι να με καλέσουν για το ραντεβού;
Typically it takes about four weeks for the appointment, unless your symptoms suddenly worsen, in which case you should go straight to the emergency department.
Κατάλαβα. Μπορώ να πάρω κάποιο φάρμακο για τον πόνο μέχρι τότε;
Take paracetamol up to four times a day, but avoid ibuprofen if you have stomach ulcers; watch for sudden severe headache, vision loss, or slurred speech.
Σας ευχαριστώ πολύ. Αν ο πόνος χειροτερέψει ξαφνικά, θα πάω κατευθείαν στα επείγοντα, όπως είπατε.
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.
- emergency departmentΠείτε 'το τμήμα επειγόντων περιστατικών' ή 'τα επείγοντα του νοσοκομείου'.
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.
