Full transcript
Thank you for coming in today, Mrs Conti. I'd like to go through your father's memory assessment results from last Thursday at Fremantle Hospital, if that's alright.
Grazie dottoressa, sono davvero preoccupata. Cosa significano esattamente questi risultati per mio padre?
The tests show moderate dementia, with a score of eighteen out of thirty on the standard scale. This explains his recent confusion and memory loss.
Capisco. Esiste una cura, oppure c'è solo qualcosa che possa aiutarlo con i sintomi?
We can start him on a medication that may slow the progression of symptoms, but it won't reverse the damage that's already occurred.
Mio padre vive da solo. È sicuro che continui così, o dovremmo pensare a qualcos'altro?
He shouldn't be living alone unless someone can check on him daily. I'd recommend enrolling him in a day program through Dementia Australia, twice a week.
Mi sembra una buona idea, ma sono preoccupata per i costi e per tutta la burocrazia necessaria.
You can apply for services through My Aged Care online, or by phone. Without a formal assessment though, he won't be eligible for any funded support.
Va bene, grazie mille. Quando dovremmo tornare per il controllo successivo?
Please book a follow-up appointment for three months from now. Bring along any new symptoms or concerns you notice before that visit.
Grazie di cuore, dottoressa. Faremo tutto il possibile per aiutarlo e per seguire i suoi consigli.
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.
- My Aged CareSi mantiene il nome inglese 'My Aged Care', eventualmente aggiungendo 'il servizio governativo per l'assistenza agli anziani' per chiarezza.
Practise it
Reading a transcript is not interpreting. The practice room 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. Your first full dialogue is marked free.
