Thanks for coming in. I have the details of last night's break-in here - it happened while you were asleep. Can you walk me through exactly what happened, step by step?

早上我起床准备上班时,发现后门被撬开了,锁都坏掉了,我当时吓了一跳,赶紧检查了一下家里其他地方。

What time this morning did you first notice that the back door had been forced open?

大概是今天早上七点半左右,我下楼的时候才发现的,之前晚上睡觉的时候完全没听到什么动静。

Did you notice anyone unfamiliar near your property recently, even if you weren't completely sure it meant anything at the time?

SEGMENT 9 · ENGLISH · 32 WORDS
Police Officer

Your report number is 4471. If you need a copy later, please contact the NSW Police Force Police Assistance Line on 131 444, not Service NSW, since they don't handle police reports.

SEGMENT 10 · MANDARIN · 29 WORDS
Resident

好的,我明白了。所以如果我以后需要报案证明的复印件,应该联系新州警察局,而不是Service NSW,对吗?

SEGMENT 11 · ENGLISH · 22 WORDS
Police Officer

Please keep this reference number safe in case you need it later. If anything else goes missing, call triple zero straight away.

SEGMENT 12 · MANDARIN · 25 WORDS
Resident

那我就放心多了,我一直担心万一以后又丢东西不知道该联系谁,现在知道直接打000就可以了,谢谢。

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 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.
