Full transcript
Thank you for coming in today, Yuki. The assessment shows your father has moderate memory changes consistent with early dementia, though his overall health remains stable.
そうですか…認知症の初期段階なんですね。何かお薬で症状を抑えることはできるんでしょうか?
We can start a medication called donepezil, which may slow symptoms, but it won't reverse the condition and works differently for each person.
わかりました、薬を試してみます。ただ、父は一人暮らしなので、家で安全に過ごせるかとても心配です。
He shouldn't be left alone using the stove, so we recommend removing the gas cooktop or installing an automatic shut-off timer for safety.
コンロのことは今週中に対応します。ほかに、私たち家族が利用できるサポートやサービスはありますか?
Dementia Australia offers a free helpline and in-home respite care, so you won't have to manage everything alone; I can send a referral.
それは心強いです、早速連絡してみます。ところで、次の予約はいつになりますか?
Your next appointment is in six weeks, on Thursday the eleventh of June, here at Flinders Medical Centre for a follow-up review.
六月十一日ですね、手帳に書いておきます。レスパイトケアを利用する場合、費用はどのくらいかかりますか?
Respite care under a Home Care Package isn't charged separately if he's approved, though there may be a small daily contribution fee.
承認されれば負担が少なくて済むんですね、安心しました。今日は詳しく説明していただき、本当にありがとうございました。
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.
- Respite「レスパイトケア」、または「介護者のための短期介護・休息支援」と訳す。
- Home care package「ホームケアパッケージ」とカタカナで表し、「高齢者向け在宅介護支援制度」と補足する。
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.

How the test works
Practice dialogue written to the CCL specification (two speakers, segments of 35 words or fewer, about 300 words). It is a practice text, not a NAATI test paper, and the AI score is this site's estimate, not a NAATI result. All Japanese dialogues · All languages
