Good morning, I'm Dr. Chen. Can you tell me exactly what happened when your son's breathing suddenly became difficult this morning?

Did you give him his blue reliever inhaler at home, and if so, how many puffs, and did his breathing improve afterward?

Mother

用了两下蓝色的那个吸入器,好像稍微好一点,但他还是说胸口很闷,呼吸不太顺。

Let me listen to his chest carefully now. Does he have any known allergies, or has anyone in the immediate family ever had asthma or eczema before?

His oxygen level looks fine right now, but I'll give him a nebuliser treatment here and renew his reliever prescription today.

谢谢医生,那他明天还能去上学吗?我有点担心他会不会太累。

If he doesn't improve within fifteen minutes of using the reliever, or his lips turn blue again, take him to Westmead Hospital's emergency department immediately.

明白了,如果十五分钟内没有好转或者嘴唇又发紫,我们就马上带他去威斯特米德医院的急诊。谢谢您,医生。

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.
