Full transcript
Mr. Gowda, it's been three weeks since we started the antidepressant. How has your mood, sleep, and appetite been since our last appointment?
ಡಾಕ್ಟರ್, ನಿದ್ರೆ ಸರಿಯಾಗಿ ಆಗ್ತಿಲ್ಲ, ರಾತ್ರಿ ಮಧ್ಯದಲ್ಲಿ ಎಚ್ಚರ ಆಗ್ತದೆ. ಊಟ ಕೂಡ ಕೆಲವೊಮ್ಮೆ ಸೇರ್ತಿಲ್ಲ, ಮನಸ್ಸು ಇನ್ನೂ ಭಾರವಾಗಿದೆ.
Have you had any thoughts of harming yourself, or that life isn't worth living? It's important you tell me honestly, without hesitation.
ಇಲ್ಲ ಡಾಕ್ಟರ್, ಅಂತಹ ಯೋಚನೆಗಳು ಬರಲ್ಲ. ಆದರೆ ತುಂಬಾ ದಣಿವು ಅನ್ಸುತ್ತೆ, ಯಾವುದೇ ಕೆಲಸ ಮಾಡೋಕೆ ಮನಸ್ಸಾಗಲ್ಲ.
I'd like to refer you to a psychologist at headspace Adelaide for regular counselling alongside your medication. Would that be alright with you?
ಸರಿ ಡಾಕ್ಟರ್, ಆದ್ರೆ ಕೌನ್ಸಿಲಿಂಗ್ಗೆ ಎಷ್ಟು ಖರ್ಚಾಗುತ್ತೆ? ನಮ್ಮ ಆದಾಯ ಕಡಿಮೆ, ಜಾಸ್ತಿ ಫೀಸ್ ಆದ್ರೆ ಕಷ್ಟ ಆಗುತ್ತೆ.
Under a Mental Health Treatment Plan, Medicare covers up to ten sessions each calendar year, so your out-of-pocket cost will stay quite low.
ಓಹ್, ಹಾಗಾದ್ರೆ ಸ್ವಲ್ಪ ನಿರಾಳ ಆಯ್ತು. ಆದ್ರೆ ಈ ಮಾತ್ರೆ ತಗೊಂಡಾಗಿಂದ ವಾಂತಿ ಬಂದ ಹಾಗೆ ಆಗುತ್ತೆ, ಇದು ಸಾಮಾನ್ಯನಾ?
Take the tablet with breakfast to reduce nausea, and please call the clinic directly if the sickness doesn't settle within a week or two.
ಸರಿ ಡಾಕ್ಟರ್, ಊಟದ ಜೊತೆ ತಗೋತೀನಿ. ವ್ಯಾಯಾಮ ಮಾಡೋದ್ರಿಂದ ಏನಾದ್ರೂ ಪ್ರಯೋಜನ ಆಗುತ್ತಾ?
Try a thirty-minute walk each morning, perhaps around Rymill Park, and invite your wife along—company often helps improve motivation, sleep, and mood overall.
ಸರಿ ಡಾಕ್ಟರ್, ನನ್ನ ಹೆಂಡತಿ ಜೊತೆ ಪ್ರತಿದಿನ ಬೆಳಿಗ್ಗೆ ವಾಕಿಂಗ್ಗೆ ಹೋಗ್ತೀನಿ. ಸಹಾಯ ಮಾಡಿದ್ದಕ್ಕೆ ತುಂಬಾ ಧನ್ಯವಾದಗಳು.
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.
- medicare'Medicare' ಎಂಬ ಪದವನ್ನು ಹಾಗೆಯೇ ಇಂಗ್ಲಿಷ್ನಲ್ಲಿ ಹೇಳಬೇಕು, ಇದು ಒಂದು ನಿರ್ದಿಷ್ಟ ಸರ್ಕಾರಿ ಯೋಜನೆಯ ಹೆಸರು.
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.
