Full transcript
Thank you for coming in today, Mrs. Sharma. I wanted to discuss Aryan's attendance record over the past school term, since he has missed several days recently.
नमस्ते मैडम, धन्यवाद। हाँ, मुझे भी चिंता है, लेकिन आर्यन कुछ हफ्तों से बीमार था, इसलिए वह स्कूल नहीं आ पाया।
According to our records, Aryan was absent for twelve school days this term, and this has affected his progress in both Mathematics and English.
जी, वो सही है। उसे तेज़ बुखार और खांसी थी, इसलिए डॉक्टर ने आराम करने को कहा था। मुझे नहीं पता था कि स्कूल को प्रमाणपत्र चाहिए होता है।
I understand your concern, but the school cannot approve extended absences without a medical certificate from your doctor confirming his illness.
ठीक है, मैं समझ गई। मैं कल ही डॉक्टर से मेडिकल सर्टिफिकेट लेकर स्कूल में जमा कर दूंगी।
That's good to hear. The NSW Department of Education offers a free tutoring program to help students catch up after long absences.
यह तो बहुत अच्छी बात है। क्या मैं आर्यन का नाम इस ट्यूशन प्रोग्राम के लिए अभी दर्ज करवा सकती हूँ?
You can enrol him through the school office, and sessions run every Tuesday afternoon for one hour, starting from next week.
ठीक है, मंगलवार को एक घंटा सही रहेगा। क्या इसके लिए कोई शुल्क देना होगा?
There is no cost involved at all, provided he attends regularly, since the program is fully funded by the department for eligible students.
ठीक है मैडम, धन्यवाद। मैं कल ही सर्टिफिकेट जमा कर दूंगी, मंगलवार वाली क्लास के लिए ऑफिस में नाम लिखवा दूंगी, और आर्यन को अब नियमित भेजूंगी।
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.
- medical certificateइसे 'मेडिकल सर्टिफिकेट' कहें, यानी अंग्रेज़ी शब्द को ज्यों का त्यों बोलें या हल्का हिन्दीकरण करके 'मेडिकल सर्टिफिकेट (डॉक्टर का प्रमाण पत्र)' कहें।
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.
