Full transcript

SEGMENT 1 · ENGLISH · 28 WORDS
GP

Mr. Gowda, thank you for coming in today. Can you tell me, in your own words, what's been troubling you over these past few weeks, and when it started?

SEGMENT 2 · KANNADA · 22 WORDS
Patient

ಡಾಕ್ಟರ್, ಸುಮಾರು ನಾಲ್ಕು ವಾರಗಳಿಂದ ನನಗೆ ಏನೂ ಇಷ್ಟ ಆಗ್ತಿಲ್ಲ, ತುಂಬಾ ದಣಿವು ಅನಿಸುತ್ತೆ, ಮತ್ತು ಕೆಲಸದಲ್ಲೂ ಮನಸ್ಸು ಕೂಡಿಸೋಕೆ ಆಗ್ತಿಲ್ಲ.

SEGMENT 3 · ENGLISH · 24 WORDS
GP

I hear that. Have you noticed any changes in your sleep, your appetite, or your energy levels since these feelings began, even small ones?

SEGMENT 4 · KANNADA · 20 WORDS
Patient

ರಾತ್ರಿ ಸರಿಯಾಗಿ ನಿದ್ದೆ ಬರಲ್ಲ, ಪದೇ ಪದೇ ಎಚ್ಚರ ಆಗುತ್ತೆ. ಊಟ ಕೂಡ ಸರಿಯಾಗಿ ಸೇರಲ್ಲ, ಮೊದಲಿನ ಹಾಗೆ ಹಸಿವು ಆಗಲ್ಲ.

SEGMENT 5 · ENGLISH · 25 WORDS
GP

How long exactly has this heaviness lasted, and I need to ask directly — are you having any thoughts of harming yourself or ending your life?

SEGMENT 6 · KANNADA · 21 WORDS
Patient

ಇದು ಸುಮಾರು ಒಂದು ತಿಂಗಳಿಂದ ಇದೆ ಡಾಕ್ಟರ್. ಆದರೆ ಇಲ್ಲ, ನನಗೆ ಸ್ವಂತ ಜೀವಕ್ಕೆ ಹಾನಿ ಮಾಡಿಕೊಳ್ಳುವ ಯೋಚನೆ ಇಲ್ಲ.

SEGMENT 7 · ENGLISH · 24 WORDS
GP

That's a relief to hear, and thank you for being honest. I'd like to suggest a low-dose antidepressant, alongside free support from Beyond Blue.

SEGMENT 8 · KANNADA · 18 WORDS
Patient

ಸರಿ ಡಾಕ್ಟರ್, ಆದರೆ ಈ ಮಾತ್ರೆಯಿಂದ ಏನಾದರೂ ಅಡ್ಡ ಪರಿಣಾಮ ಆಗುತ್ತಾ? ನನಗೆ ಸ್ವಲ್ಪ ಭಯ ಆಗ್ತಿದೆ.

SEGMENT 9 · ENGLISH · 24 WORDS
GP

Some mild nausea, headaches, or dizziness are common in the first week or two, but if they don't settle, please contact the clinic immediately.

SEGMENT 10 · KANNADA · 19 WORDS
Patient

ಸರಿ, ಅರ್ಥ ಆಯ್ತು. ನಾನು ಕೆಲಸಕ್ಕೆ ಹೋಗ್ತಾ ಇರಬಹುದಾ, ಅಥವಾ ಸ್ವಲ್ಪ ದಿನ ರಜೆ ತಗೊಳ್ಳೋದು ಒಳ್ಳೆಯದಾ?

SEGMENT 11 · ENGLISH · 32 WORDS
GP

You can continue working if you feel able, but a short medical certificate is available if you need rest. I'll also refer you to a psychologist under a Mental Health Care Plan.

SEGMENT 12 · KANNADA · 20 WORDS
Patient

ಧನ್ಯವಾದಗಳು ಡಾಕ್ಟರ್. ಮನೋವೈದ್ಯರ ಬಳಿಗೆ ಹೋಗೋಕೆ ಮತ್ತು ಎರಡು ವಾರದ ನಂತರ ಮತ್ತೆ ಬರೋಕೆ ಸಿದ್ಧ ಇದ್ದೀನಿ.

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.
