School Excursion Consent Form
School Administration Officer (speaking English) and Parent (speaking Mandarin) talk through “School Excursion Consent Form”. You interpret both ways — English into Mandarin, and Mandarin into English — one segment at a time, exactly as in the CCL test.
English → 普通话
Your turn: interpret it aloud in the other language.

Full transcript with model answers
Under each segment: a model interpretation, the information points an examiner checks, and the easiest thing to miss. Try the segment yourself first, then open it. The model is one good way to say it; other wordings that keep every point score just as well.
Hello, I'm calling from Sydney Primary School about your daughter's excursion to Taronga Zoo on the 15th of March. We need your signed consent form back by Friday.
Model answer and marking points
您好，我是悉尼小学打来的，想跟您说一下您女儿三月十五号去塔龙加动物园郊游的事。我们需要您在星期五之前把签好字的同意书交回来。
What an examiner checks here:
- caller from Sydney Primary School
- daughter's excursion to Taronga Zoo
- date: 15 March
- signed consent form required
- deadline: back by Friday
Easy to miss: Two time references in one segment: the excursion is on the 15th of March, but the form is due this Friday.
谢谢您的电话,请问几点出发,需要准备什么证件或物品吗?
Model answer and marking points
Thank you for calling. What time do they leave, and does she need to bring any documents or anything else?
What an examiner checks here:
- thanks for the call
- question: what time is departure
- question: any documents needed
- question: any items to bring
Easy to miss: This segment is two questions, not one; don't collapse 'documents or items' into just 'things to bring'.
Your turn — don't read the rest yet. Hear this dialogue at native speed and interpret each segment aloud; AI marks what you kept, left out or changed, segment by segment. Your first two full dialogues are marked free.
Interpret it aloud now →The excursion costs $25, which covers the bus and entry fee. Please also fill in the medical information section, including any allergies she has.
Model answer and marking points
这次郊游费用是二十五澳元，包含大巴车费和门票。另外请填好表上的医疗信息那一部分，包括她有没有任何过敏。
What an examiner checks here:
- cost: $25
- covers bus and entry fee
- fill in medical information section
- include any allergies
Easy to miss: The $25 covers both the bus AND the entry fee; dropping one changes what the parent is paying for.
我女儿没有食物过敏,但是病史那栏要填什么内容呢?
Model answer and marking points
My daughter doesn't have any food allergies, but what should I put in the medical history section?
What an examiner checks here:
- negation: no food allergies
- question: what to write in medical history field
Easy to miss: '没有食物过敏' is specifically no FOOD allergies, not no allergies at all; and '病史' is medical history, not medical information generally.
If she has no allergies, you can simply write 'none' in that section. Please also provide an emergency contact number we can reach on the day.
Model answer and marking points
如果她没有过敏，那一栏直接写“无”就可以了。另外请提供一个紧急联系电话，郊游当天我们能打通的。
What an examiner checks here:
- condition: if no allergies
- write 'none' in that section
- provide emergency contact number
- must be reachable on the day
Easy to miss: 'None' is to be written in the form; don't turn it into 'leave it blank'.
如果这个月手头比较紧,可以申请分期付款吗?
Model answer and marking points
If money's a bit tight this month, can I apply to pay in instalments?
What an examiner checks here:
- condition: if finances are tight this month
- question: can I apply for instalment payment
Easy to miss: Keep it as a question about the possibility of instalments, not a statement that the parent can't pay.
If you're experiencing financial difficulty, the school can offer a payment plan or reduce the fee through the student assistance program. Just let the office know.
Model answer and marking points
如果您经济上有困难，学校可以提供分期付款方案，或者通过学生资助计划减免费用。您跟办公室说一声就行。
What an examiner checks here:
- condition: if financial difficulty
- school can offer a payment plan
- or reduce the fee
- via the student assistance program
- just tell the office
Easy to miss: Two separate options (payment plan OR reduced fee); 'reduce' means lower the fee, not waive it entirely.
如果她那天刚好生病没办法去,学校会怎么安排呢?
Model answer and marking points
If she happens to be sick that day and can't go, what arrangements will the school make?
What an examiner checks here:
- condition: if she is sick on the day
- cannot attend
- question: what will the school arrange
Easy to miss: The illness is hypothetical ('if she happens to be'), not a report that she is sick.
If your daughter doesn't attend the excursion, she'll join another class for supervised activities at school that day, so there's no issue.
Model answer and marking points
如果您女儿不参加郊游，那天她会到另一个班，在学校参加有老师看管的活动，所以没有问题。
What an examiner checks here:
- condition: if daughter doesn't attend
- joins another class
- supervised activities at school
- that day
- no issue
Easy to miss: 'Supervised' must be rendered; it's the reassurance that someone is watching her, not just 'activities at school'.
明白了,那我这周五之前把表格交到前台可以吗?
Model answer and marking points
I see. So is it okay if I hand the form in to the front office before this Friday?
What an examiner checks here:
- acknowledgement: understood
- hand the form in before this Friday
- at the front office / reception
- question: is that okay
Easy to miss: This is a confirmation question ('is that okay?'), not a statement of what the parent will do.
Yes, the deadline is this Friday, the 13th of March. You can drop the form at the front office or email me at the school directly.
Model answer and marking points
可以，截止日期是这个星期五，三月十三号。您可以把表格交到前台办公室，也可以直接发电子邮件给我，发到学校。
What an examiner checks here:
- yes, confirmed
- deadline: this Friday
- date: 13 March
- option: drop at front office
- option: email me at the school directly
Easy to miss: The 13th of March is the form deadline, not the excursion date (15th); keep the two dates distinct.
谢谢您耐心解释,我今晚就把表格填好交回去。
Model answer and marking points
Thank you for explaining so patiently. I'll fill in the form tonight and hand it back.
What an examiner checks here:
- thanks for patient explanation
- fill in the form tonight
- hand it back
Easy to miss: '今晚' means tonight specifically, not 'soon' or 'today'.
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 two full dialogues are marked free.
