Full transcript
Good morning, I'm the practice nurse. I'll take your blood pressure now and pass the readings to your GP for review. Have you been checking it at home?
早上好。我这周量了三次，最高一次是150/95，我有点担心，这样正常吗？
Thanks for sharing that. 150 over 95 is a bit high. If it stays elevated, the GP may consider adjusting your medication or lifestyle plan.
我一直有吃药，但最近工作压力大，可能没有按时吃。这样会不会影响血压？
Missing doses can definitely affect your readings. I can't change your prescription, but I'll refer you back to the GP today for a review.
好的，谢谢你。请问今天可以看到医生吗？
Yes, I'll book you with the GP this afternoon through the clinic system. In the meantime, I can give you some advice on reducing salt intake.
好，我平时确实吃得比较咸，我会试着少放盐。请问除了饮食还有什么要注意的吗？
Regular exercise, less alcohol, and managing stress all help control blood pressure. Also, make sure you keep taking your current medication until the GP reviews it.
明白了，我会坚持吃药，也会多运动。对了，这次复诊需要用Medicare吗？
Yes, today's GP visit will be billed through Medicare, so there's no extra cost for this review.
好，那我记住了：今天下午看医生用Medicare不用额外付钱，我会按时吃药，也会少放盐、多运动。
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.
- medicare直接说英文 Medicare，不用翻译，因为这是专有名词，中文里没有对应词。
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.
