Full transcript

SEGMENT 1 · ENGLISH · 24 WORDS
Geriatrician

Mrs Patel, I'm Dr Whitfield, the geriatrician here at Box Hill Hospital. Your father's cognitive tests today show mild signs consistent with early-stage dementia.

SEGMENT 2 · GUJARATI · 30 WORDS
Daughter

ડોક્ટર, આ સાંભળીને મને ખૂબ જ ચિંતા થાય છે. શું આ અલ્ઝાઈમર છે? છેલ્લા થોડા મહિનાથી તેઓ ચાવીઓ અને દવાઓ ભૂલી જાય છે.

SEGMENT 3 · ENGLISH · 26 WORDS
Geriatrician

There's no cure, but medication and cognitive therapy can slow progression. I'll refer him to the memory clinic next Thursday at ten am for further review.

SEGMENT 4 · GUJARATI · 22 WORDS
Daughter

તેઓ હજુ પણ દરરોજ કાર ચલાવે છે, ખાસ કરીને બજારમાં જવા માટે. શું આ હવે સલામત છે, ડોક્ટર?

SEGMENT 5 · ENGLISH · 24 WORDS
Geriatrician

Yes, that's a real safety concern. I must notify VicRoads about his diagnosis, and he shouldn't drive until they reassess his fitness to drive.

SEGMENT 6 · GUJARATI · 28 WORDS
Daughter

શું ઘરે મદદ માટે કોઈ સેવા ઉપલબ્ધ છે? હું અને મારા પતિ બંને નિવૃત્ત છીએ, અને આખો દિવસ તેમની સંભાળ રાખવી અમારા માટે મુશ્કેલ બની રહ્યું છે.

SEGMENT 7 · ENGLISH · 23 WORDS
Geriatrician

I'll refer you to My Aged Care for an assessment. They can arrange home support, respite care, and other services for your father.

SEGMENT 8 · GUJARATI · 26 WORDS
Daughter

આ સેવાઓનો ખર્ચ કેટલો થશે? અમારું બજેટ મર્યાદિત છે, અને અમે નિવૃત્તિ પછી બચત પર જ જીવીએ છીએ.

SEGMENT 9 · ENGLISH · 26 WORDS
Geriatrician

Once approved, most home support costs are subsidised through the government scheme. Our social worker will help you complete the My Aged Care application this week.

SEGMENT 10 · GUJARATI · 24 WORDS
Daughter

અમારા સમાજમાં આ વિશે ખુલ્લેઆમ વાત કરવી મુશ્કેલ છે. હું મારા ભાઈ-બહેનોને આ કેવી રીતે જણાવું, ડોક્ટર?

SEGMENT 11 · ENGLISH · 24 WORDS
Geriatrician

A family meeting could help everyone understand the diagnosis together. Dementia Australia also offers counselling and information in Gujarati, if you'd like that support.

SEGMENT 12 · GUJARATI · 16 WORDS
Daughter

આભાર, ડોક્ટર. તો અમે ગુરુવારે સવારે દસ વાગ્યે મેમરી ક્લિનિકમાં મળીશું, બરાબર?

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.
