ខ្ញុំ​ភ្ញាក់ផ្អើល​ខ្លាំង​ណាស់! ខ្ញុំ​មិន​ដឹង​ថា​មាន​អ្វី​កើតឡើង​ទេ។ ខ្ញុំ​បិទ​ហាង​នៅ​ម៉ោង​ដប់​យប់ ហើយ​អ្វីៗ​ធម្មតា​ទាំងអស់។ តើ​អ្នក​ដឹង​ថា​អ្វី​ជា​មូលហេតុ​ភ្លើងឆេះ​ដែរ​ឬទេ?

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 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. Your first full dialogue is marked free.
