Full transcript
Before you leave today, let's talk through your glucose tolerance test for gestational diabetes, since your last blood sugar reading was slightly raised.
ಓಹ್, ಗ್ಲೂಕೋಸ್ ಪರೀಕ್ಷೆ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ಕೇಳಿ ಸ್ವಲ್ಪ ಭಯವಾಗ್ತಿದೆ. ಪರೀಕ್ಷೆ ಹೇಗೆ ನಡೀತದೆ ಮತ್ತು ಎಷ್ಟು ಸಮಯ ತಗೊಳ್ಳುತ್ತದೆ ಎಂದು ಹೇಳ್ತೀರಾ?
You'll need to fast for at least eight hours beforehand; if you eat or drink anything except plain water, we'll have to reschedule the whole test.
ಸರಿ, ಎಂಟು ಗಂಟೆ ಉಪವಾಸ ಮಾಡ್ತೇನೆ. ಆದರೆ ನಾನು ಎಲ್ಲಿಗೆ ಮತ್ತು ಯಾವಾಗ ಬರಬೇಕು ಎಂದು ಸ್ಪಷ್ಟವಾಗಿ ಹೇಳ್ತೀರಾ?
Please arrive at Liverpool Hospital's pathology department by seven thirty am this Thursday, the fourteenth of May, and bring your referral letter.
ಸರಿ, ಗುರುವಾರ ಬೆಳಿಗ್ಗೆ ಬರ್ತೇನೆ, ರೆಫರಲ್ ಲೆಟರ್ ತಗೊಂಡು ಬರ್ತೇನೆ. ಆದರೆ ಕಳೆದ ಎರಡು ದಿನದಿಂದ ಮಗುವಿನ ಚಲನೆ ಕಡಿಮೆ ಆಗಿದೆ ಅನ್ಸ್ತಿದೆ, ಚಿಂತೆ ಆಗ್ತಿದೆ.
If you notice reduced movements after twenty-eight weeks, don't wait for your next appointment—call the maternity assessment unit straight away, day or night.
ಅಯ್ಯೋ, ಸರಿ, ಈಗಲೇ ಫೋನ್ ಮಾಡ್ತೇನೆ, ಧನ್ಯವಾದ. ಆಹಾರದ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ಏನಾದ್ರೂ ಸಲಹೆ ಇದೆಯಾ, ಸಕ್ಕರೆ ಮಟ್ಟ ಸರಿ ಇಡೋಕೆ?
Try to eat smaller, more frequent meals with plenty of vegetables and wholegrains, and limit sugary drinks, juice, and snacks between meals.
ಸರಿ, ತರಕಾರಿ ಮತ್ತು ಸಿಹಿ ಕಡಿಮೆ ಮಾಡ್ತೇನೆ. ಒಂದು ಪ್ರಶ್ನೆ - ಆಸ್ಪತ್ರೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಪಾರ್ಕಿಂಗ್ ಇದೆಯಾ, ಮತ್ತು ಅದು ಫ್ರೀ ಇದೆಯಾ?
Yes, there's a multi-storey car park at Liverpool Hospital; the first thirty minutes are free, but after that it's paid parking, so allow extra time.
ಸರಿ, ಅರ್ಥ ಆಯ್ತು, ಹೆಚ್ಚು ಸಮಯ ತೊಗೊಂಡು ಬರ್ತೇನೆ. ಎಲ್ಲಾ ವಿವರ ಹೇಳಿದ್ದಕ್ಕೆ ಧನ್ಯವಾದ, ಗುರುವಾರ ಸಿಗ್ತೇನೆ.
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.
- referral letter"ರೆಫರಲ್ ಲೆಟರ್" ಎಂದು ಹಾಗೆಯೇ ಹೇಳಿ ಅಥವಾ "ತಜ್ಞ ವೈದ್ಯರಿಗೆ ಶಿಫಾರಸು ಪತ್ರ" ಎಂದು ಹೇಳಿ.
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.
