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?

ថ្ងៃ​នោះ​ប្រព័ន្ធ​សំឡាំង​របស់​ខ្ញុំ​មិន​ដំណើរការ​ត្រឹមត្រូវ​ទេ។ ខ្ញុំ​គិត​ថា​ខ្សែ​ភ្លើង​ខូច តែ​ខ្ញុំ​មិន​ទាន់​ហៅ​ជាង​មក​ជួសជុល​នៅឡើយ​ទេ។

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.
