SEGMENT 1 · ENGLISH · 27 WORDS
Physiotherapist

Mr Tanaka, thanks for coming in today. Can you tell me exactly where the pain sits in your lower back, and when it first started bothering you?

Patient

腰の右側が痛みます。三日前、仕事で重い箱を運んでいる時に痛め始めました。

Does the pain ever travel down either leg, or does it stay only in your lower back area, especially after standing for a while?

Patient

いいえ、脚の方には広がっていません。ただ、長時間立っていると痛みが強くなります。

For now, let's manage this with physiotherapy twice a week, along with some gentle stretching exercises you can do at home each day.

分かりました。でも、痛みが長引いた場合はMRI検査を受けた方がいいでしょうか。

You can continue working, provided you avoid lifting anything heavier than five kilograms, and make sure you take regular breaks.

Patient

分かりました、気をつけます。ところで、家ではどんなストレッチをすればいいですか。

SEGMENT 11 · ENGLISH · 23 WORDS
Physiotherapist

Try gentle stretches each morning, but don't push through sharp pain—stop immediately if it worsens, spreads, or doesn't ease within a few minutes.

SEGMENT 12 · JAPANESE · 16 WORDS
Patient

分かりました。もし痛みが引かなければ、すぐに病院に行きます。ありがとうございました。

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.
