ಅಯ್ಯೋ, ಹತ್ತೊಂಬತ್ತು ಅಂಕಗಳು ಅಂದರೆ ಸ್ವಲ್ಪ ಗಂಭೀರವಾಗಿ ಕೇಳಿಸ್ತಿದೆ. ಅವರಿಗೆ ದಿನನಿತ್ಯದ ಕೆಲಸಗಳನ್ನು ಒಬ್ಬರೇ ಮಾಡಲು ಆಗುತ್ತದೆಯೇ ಅಂತ ನನಗೆ ಚಿಂತೆಯಾಗ್ತಿದೆ.

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.
