Full transcript
Good morning. I'm the Youth Justice Officer handling your son's case. He's been referred to a Youth Justice Conference instead of appearing before the Children's Court.
什么？青年司法调解会议是什么意思？他不需要上法庭吗？我有点担心。
This conference is a restorative justice process. Your son will meet the shop owner, discuss what happened, and agree on an outcome plan together.
那这个调解是强制性的吗？如果他不同意参加，会有什么后果？
Yes, attendance is required. If he doesn't attend or doesn't complete the plan, the case can be referred back to the Children's Court for sentencing.
明白了。那调解计划里通常会包括什么内容？比如说，是不是要做社区服务？
The plan might include a written apology, some community work, counselling sessions, or an agreement to repay the shop owner for damages caused.
他下周还有考试，这个会议会不会影响他上学，安排上会不会很麻烦？
Don't worry, we can schedule the conference around his school timetable. It will be arranged after referral, at a convenient location and time for everyone.
那我需要陪他一起参加吗？作为家长，我具体应该做什么？
Yes, you should attend to support him. A lawyer isn't required, but you're welcome to bring another support person if you like.
好的，谢谢，那我这两天就跟学校请假，把会议时间定下来，到时候我会陪他一起去。
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.
- counselling sessions说“心理咨询”或“辅导会谈”，视上下文可说“咨询/辅导课程”。
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.
