Full transcript
Hi, I'm Sarah, one of the dietitians here - I have your file showing a referral for recent weight gain. Could you tell me what's been happening?
医生，你好。最近这半年我的体重涨了不少，家里人也一直劝我来检查一下，所以我今天就过来了。
How would you describe your typical daily diet, and how often do you get exercise or physical activity each week?
我平时工作很忙，经常叫外卖，蔬菜吃得不多，运动的话，一个星期最多也就一次，而且时间不长。
Based on your height and weight, your BMI is currently 32, which falls into the obese range and increases your risk of diabetes and heart disease.
啊？32那么高吗？那我是不是很危险？我应该怎么做才能把它降下来呢？
I'd recommend the Get Healthy NSW coaching service — it's free and offers ten weekly phone sessions with a health coach.
免费的吗？听起来不错，不过我平时上班很忙，能不能晚上或者周末打电话呢？
You can schedule some evening sessions, and weekend slots may be available depending on coach availability. It's completely free, and you won't need a referral unless your GP suggests one.
好的，那我就试试看。如果没有效果，是不是还可以再来找你复诊？
Great, I'll book your first session for next Tuesday at 10 AM - please call this number to confirm. And yes, you're welcome to see me again if it doesn't help.
好的，星期二上午十点，我记下了。我等下会跟主管说一下调班的事，要是时间冲突了，我自己再想办法解决。

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.
