Full transcript
Your mother's memory test results today show a moderate decline consistent with early-stage dementia, and I'd like to discuss support options with you now.
선생님, 그게 정확히 어떤 뜻인가요? 어머니 상태가 앞으로 더 나빠질 수도 있다는 말씀이신가요?
Dementia typically progresses gradually, though the rate varies between individuals, and medication won't reverse the damage but may slow symptoms for some patients.
그럼 저희가 집에서 어머니를 어떻게 돌봐야 할지 걱정이에요. 전문 기관의 도움을 받을 수 있는 방법이 있을까요?
I'll refer her to My Aged Care for an ACAT assessment, which usually takes about three weeks and determines eligibility for in-home support services.
저희가 신청할 때 따로 준비해야 할 서류가 있을까요?
Yes, you'll need her Medicare card, proof of identity, and a summary of her diagnosis; there's no cost for the ACAT assessment itself.
알겠습니다. 그러면 신청서는 어디에서 어떻게 제출하면 되나요?
You can apply online through the My Aged Care website, or I can lodge the referral directly from this clinic before you leave today.
정말 감사합니다. 혹시 나중에 재택 요양 서비스를 이용하게 되면 비용은 저희가 전부 부담해야 하나요?
Most home care costs are subsidised by the government, though a small income-tested contribution may apply depending on your mother's financial circumstances.
네, 이해했습니다. 다음 진료 때 다시 자세히 여쭤볼게요. 오늘 도와주셔서 감사합니다.
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.
- My Aged Care영어 명칭 'My Aged Care'를 그대로 말하고, 필요하면 '노인 돌봄 서비스를 신청하고 연계해주는 정부 시스템'이라고 짧게 설명한다.
- ACATACAT는 고유명사로 영어 그대로 말하되, 필요하면 '노인돌봄 평가팀'이라고 풀어줄 수 있습니다.
- Medicare그대로 'Medicare'라고 영어 발음으로 말하면 된다. 한국어 대체 명칭을 새로 만들지 않는다.
- Medicare card'Medicare 카드'라고 그대로 말하면 된다.
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.
