Full transcript

SEGMENT 1 · ENGLISH · 23 WORDS
Nurse

Your ophthalmologist has referred you to Sydney Eye Hospital for a cataract assessment, since your vision has been getting cloudier over recent months.

SEGMENT 2 · INDONESIAN · 16 WORDS
Patient

Baik, terima kasih. Saya agak khawatir, Suster. Apakah operasi katarak ini rumit, atau prosesnya sederhana saja?

SEGMENT 3 · ENGLISH · 25 WORDS
Nurse

It's usually a day procedure, taking about twenty to thirty minutes, done under local anaesthetic, so you won't need a general anaesthetic or overnight stay.

SEGMENT 4 · INDONESIAN · 16 WORDS
Patient

Syukurlah kalau begitu tidak terlalu berat. Tapi berapa lama saya harus menunggu sebelum bisa dijadwalkan operasi?

SEGMENT 5 · ENGLISH · 23 WORDS
Nurse

The current waiting list is roughly eight weeks, unless your vision deteriorates quickly, in which case the hospital can bring your surgery forward.

SEGMENT 6 · INDONESIAN · 17 WORDS
Patient

Baik, saya mengerti. Tapi saya sedang minum obat pengencer darah, apakah itu akan menjadi masalah untuk operasinya?

SEGMENT 7 · ENGLISH · 22 WORDS
Nurse

Please tell the surgeon exactly which blood thinner you're taking, because some medications must be paused beforehand, while others can safely continue.

SEGMENT 8 · INDONESIAN · 14 WORDS
Patient

Saya minum warfarin setiap hari. Apa yang sebaiknya saya lakukan sebelum tanggal operasi nanti?

SEGMENT 9 · ENGLISH · 21 WORDS
Nurse

See your GP soon so they can review your warfarin dose, but don't stop taking it yourself without medical advice first.

SEGMENT 10 · INDONESIAN · 14 WORDS
Patient

Baik, akan saya lakukan itu minggu ini. Lalu, apakah saya perlu berpuasa sebelum operasi?

SEGMENT 11 · ENGLISH · 25 WORDS
Nurse

Yes, fast for six hours before your admission time, no solid food, though you may still drink clear fluids like water until two hours prior.

SEGMENT 12 · INDONESIAN · 11 WORDS
Patient

Baik, saya paham semuanya sekarang. Terima kasih banyak atas penjelasannya, Suster.

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.
