Full transcript with model answers
Under each segment: a model interpretation, the information points an examiner checks, and the easiest thing to miss. Try the segment yourself first, then open it. The model is one good way to say it; other wordings that keep every point score just as well.
Thanks for coming in, Mr Han. Let's take a look at how your hand is healing after the reconstruction surgery two weeks ago.
Model answer and marking points
와 주셔서 감사합니다, 한 선생님. 2주 전에 받으신 재건 수술 이후에 손이 어떻게 회복되고 있는지 한번 보겠습니다.
What an examiner checks here:
- thanks Mr Han for coming
- check how the hand is healing
- after reconstruction surgery
- surgery two weeks ago
Easy to miss: Don't drop 'two weeks ago' or render 'reconstruction surgery' as a generic 'hand surgery'.
네, 선생님. 사실 어제부터 손가락 끝이 좀 붓고 욱신거려서 걱정이 됐어요.
Model answer and marking points
Yes, doctor. Actually, since yesterday my fingertips have been a bit swollen and throbbing, so I've been worried.
What an examiner checks here:
- since yesterday
- fingertips
- a bit swollen
- throbbing pain
- patient is worried
Easy to miss: Keep both symptoms, swelling and throbbing, and the time frame 'since yesterday'.

Interpret it aloud now →That's helpful to know. Have you noticed any redness spreading, discharge from the wound, or a fever above thirty-eight degrees?
Model answer and marking points
알려 주셔서 도움이 됩니다. 혹시 빨갛게 된 부위가 퍼지거나, 상처에서 진물이 나오거나, 38도 넘는 열이 난 적 있으세요?
What an examiner checks here:
- that's helpful to know
- question: redness spreading
- question: discharge from the wound
- question: fever above 38 degrees
Easy to miss: Keep 'above thirty-eight degrees' exact and render all three symptoms as a question.
빨갛게 되는 건 못 봤는데, 어젯밤에 체온을 재보니까 삼십칠도 오였어요. 진물은 조금 나왔어요.
Model answer and marking points
Redness, I haven't noticed, but when I took my temperature last night it was 37.5 degrees. There was a little bit of discharge.
What an examiner checks here:
- no redness noticed
- temperature taken last night
- 37.5 degrees
- a little discharge
Easy to miss: '삼십칠도 오' is 37.5, not 37 or 35.
A slight fever and some discharge aren't unusual this early, but if the wound doesn't close within ten days, we may need minor debridement.
Model answer and marking points
이 시기에는 약간의 열이나 진물이 좀 나오는 건 드문 일이 아니에요. 하지만 열흘 안에 상처가 아물지 않으면 간단한 괴사조직 제거술을 해야 할 수도 있습니다.
What an examiner checks here:
- slight fever and some discharge not unusual this early
- condition: wound doesn't close within ten days
- may need minor debridement
Easy to miss: Keep the conditional 'if the wound doesn't close within ten days' and the term 'debridement' (괴사조직 제거술).
그렇군요. 그럼 흉터는 나중에 실리콘 시트 같은 걸로 관리하면 좋아지나요?
Model answer and marking points
I see. Then, later on, will the scarring get better if I manage it with something like silicone sheets?
What an examiner checks here:
- acknowledges information
- question: scar management later
- silicone sheets
Easy to miss: Keep it a question about whether the scar will improve, not a statement.
Yes, silicone sheets usually help once the wound has fully closed. I'd like to see you again at Nepean Hospital's outpatient clinic in two weeks.
Model answer and marking points
네, 실리콘 시트는 상처가 완전히 아문 다음에 쓰면 보통 도움이 됩니다. 2주 후에 네피언 병원 외래 진료실에서 다시 뵙고 싶어요.
What an examiner checks here:
- yes, silicone sheets usually help
- only once wound fully closed
- follow-up at Nepean Hospital outpatient clinic
- in two weeks
Easy to miss: Don't lose the condition 'once the wound has fully closed' or the hospital name.
알겠습니다. 그런데 제가 일 때문에 운전을 해야 하는데, 언제부터 다시 운전해도 괜찮을까요?
Model answer and marking points
Understood. But I need to drive for work, so when would it be okay for me to start driving again?
What an examiner checks here:
- needs to drive for work
- question: when can he drive again
Easy to miss: Keep the reason 'for work'.
You shouldn't drive until you're pain-free and have full grip strength, usually around six weeks. Avoid lifting anything heavier than two kilograms until then.
Model answer and marking points
통증이 완전히 없어지고 쥐는 힘이 완전히 돌아올 때까지는 운전하시면 안 됩니다. 보통 6주 정도 걸려요. 그때까지는 2킬로그램보다 무거운 건 들지 마세요.
What an examiner checks here:
- no driving until pain-free
- and full grip strength
- usually around six weeks
- don't lift more than two kilograms until then
Easy to miss: Keep the two numbers, six weeks and two kilograms, and both conditions for driving.
네, 조심할게요. 혹시 이번 진료비는 메디케어로 다 처리되나요, 아니면 따로 돈을 내야 하나요?
Model answer and marking points
Okay, I'll be careful. By the way, will today's consultation fee be fully covered by Medicare, or do I have to pay something separately?
What an examiner checks here:
- will be careful
- question: is this visit fully covered by Medicare
- question: or separate payment needed
Easy to miss: Keep 'fully' (다) and the either/or question structure.
Since this was reconstructive, not cosmetic, Medicare should cover the hospital visit, though you might have a small out-of-pocket fee for the dressing.
Model answer and marking points
이번 수술은 미용 목적이 아니라 재건 목적이었기 때문에 병원 진료비는 메디케어에서 보장될 겁니다. 다만 드레싱 비용은 본인 부담금이 조금 있을 수 있어요.
What an examiner checks here:
- reconstructive, not cosmetic
- Medicare should cover the hospital visit
- possible small out-of-pocket fee
- fee is for the dressing
Easy to miss: Don't reverse 'reconstructive, not cosmetic' and keep the out-of-pocket exception for the dressing.
다행이네요. 그럼 이 주 후에 다시 뵐게요. 감사합니다, 선생님.
Model answer and marking points
That's a relief. Then I'll see you again in two weeks. Thank you, doctor.
What an examiner checks here:
- relief
- see you again in two weeks
- thanks the doctor
Easy to miss: '이 주 후' means two weeks later, not 'this week'.
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.
- Medicare그대로 'Medicare'라고 영어 발음으로 말하면 된다. 한국어 대체 명칭을 새로 만들지 않는다.
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 two full dialogues are marked free.
