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, Mr Subedi, take a seat. I have your prescription, dated the second of April. Will you mainly wear these sunglasses for driving?
Model answer and marking points
नमस्कार, सुबेदीज्यू, बस्नुहोस्। मसँग तपाईंको अप्रिल दुई तारिखको चस्माको पावरको पुर्जी छ। के तपाईं यो घाममा लगाउने चस्मा मुख्यतः गाडी चलाउँदा लगाउनुहुन्छ?
What an examiner checks here:
- Mr Subedi greeted and offered a seat
- Prescription held by speaker
- Prescription dated 2 April
- question: sunglasses mainly for driving?
Easy to miss: Keep 2 April as the prescription date and preserve the question about driving.
हो म्याम, म प्रायः गाडी चलाउँदा लगाउँछु। घाम चर्को हुँदा आँखा निकै तिर्मिराउँछ। कुन रङ चाहिँ ठिक होला?
Model answer and marking points
Yes, madam, I’ll mostly wear them when I’m driving. My eyes get badly dazzled in bright sunlight. Which colour would be suitable?
What an examiner checks here:
- Mainly wears sunglasses when driving
- Eyes badly dazzled in strong sunlight
- question: which colour would be suitable?
Easy to miss: The eye problem is glare in strong sunlight, not poor eyesight generally.

Interpret it aloud now →For driving, I'd suggest medium grey or brown. Tinted lenses cost one hundred and forty dollars; this frame is two hundred and twenty.
Model answer and marking points
गाडी चलाउन म मध्यम गाढापनको खरानी रङ वा खैरो रङ सिफारिस गर्छु। रङ लगाइएका लेन्सको एक सय चालीस डलर पर्छ, अनि यो फ्रेमको दुई सय बीस डलर पर्छ।
What an examiner checks here:
- Medium grey or brown recommended for driving
- Tinted lenses cost $140
- This frame costs $220
Easy to miss: Do not swap the $140 lens price and the $220 frame price.
खैरो रङ मलाई ठिकै लाग्छ। फ्रेम राम्रो छ, तर दुई सय बीस डलर अलि महँगो भयो जस्तो लाग्यो। पैसा एकैपटक तिर्नुपर्छ? अनि चस्मा कहिले तयार हुन्छ?
Model answer and marking points
I think brown would suit me. The frame is nice, but I think two hundred and twenty dollars is a bit expensive. Do I have to pay it all at once? And when will the glasses be ready?
What an examiner checks here:
- Brown seems suitable
- Likes the frame
- $220 seems a bit expensive
- question: must payment be made all at once?
- question: when will glasses be ready?
Easy to miss: Preserve both questions about payment and completion time.
No, a deposit today is fine. If the frame is too expensive, we have cheaper ones on that shelf. The lenses will be ready in ten days.
Model answer and marking points
पर्दैन, आज अग्रिम रकम मात्र तिरे हुन्छ। फ्रेम महँगो लागेमा त्यो तखतामा सस्ता फ्रेमहरू पनि छन्। लेन्स दस दिनमा तयार हुन्छन्।
What an examiner checks here:
- Full payment not required today
- A deposit today is acceptable
- Cheaper frames available on that shelf if needed
- Lenses ready in ten days
Easy to miss: Ten days is the preparation time for the lenses, not a payment deadline.
ठिक छ, यही फ्रेम नै लिन्छु, सस्तो चाहिँ चाहिएन। दस दिन भए पनि हुन्छ। तर त्यो दिन म काममा व्यस्त भएर आउन नसक्न पनि सक्छु। त्यसो भयो भने चस्मा राखिदिनुहुन्छ?
Model answer and marking points
All right, I’ll take this frame; I don’t want a cheaper one. Ten days is fine. But I might be busy at work that day and unable to come. If that happens, could you keep the glasses for me?
What an examiner checks here:
- Chooses this frame
- Does not want a cheaper frame
- Ten days is acceptable
- May be unable to come because of work
- question: can glasses be held if unable to come?
Easy to miss: Being unable to collect that day is a possibility, not a certainty.
Of course, we'll hold them at our Strathfield store. If you can't come that day, call us and we'll arrange another time.
Model answer and marking points
अवश्य, हामी तपाईंको चस्मा हाम्रो स्ट्राथफिल्ड पसलमा राखिदिन्छौँ। त्यो दिन आउन सक्नुभएन भने हामीलाई फोन गर्नुहोस्, हामी अर्को समय मिलाउँछौँ।
What an examiner checks here:
- Glasses will be held
- Held at the Strathfield store
- Call if unable to come that day
- Another collection time will be arranged
Easy to miss: Keep the Strathfield location and the instruction to call if unable to attend.
धन्यवाद म्याम। अनि एकपटक रङ छानिसकेपछि पछि फेर्न मिल्छ? चस्मा बनिसकेपछि मन परेन भने के गर्ने?
Model answer and marking points
Thank you, madam. Once I’ve chosen the colour, can I change it later? What can I do if I don’t like the glasses once they’re made?
What an examiner checks here:
- Thanks the staff member
- question: can colour be changed after choosing it?
- question: what if glasses are disliked after being made?
Easy to miss: The customer asks about changing their preference, not about faulty glasses.
Tint can't change once lenses are made. We'll fix faulty lenses, but I can't promise refunds for changes of mind. Please check this brown sample by the window.
Model answer and marking points
लेन्स बनिसकेपछि त्यसको रङ फेर्न मिल्दैन। लेन्समा खराबी भए हामी ठीक गरिदिन्छौँ, तर मन फेरिएको कारणले पैसा फिर्ता दिन्छौँ भनेर म वाचा गर्न सक्दिनँ। कृपया झ्यालनेर गएर यो खैरो रङको नमुना हेर्नुहोस्।
What an examiner checks here:
- Tint cannot be changed once lenses are made
- Faulty lenses will be fixed
- Refunds for a change of mind cannot be promised
- Check this brown sample by the window
Easy to miss: A refund cannot be promised for a change of mind; this is not an absolute refusal of all refunds.
बुझेँ, फेरिँदैन रहेछ। झ्यालनेर नमुना हेरेँ, खैरो रङ मलाई राम्रो लाग्यो। त्यसैले यही अर्डर गरिदिनुहोस्। आज कति तिर्नुपर्ला?
Model answer and marking points
I understand, so it can’t be changed. I’ve looked at the sample by the window, and I like the brown colour. Please go ahead and order this one. How much do I need to pay today?
What an examiner checks here:
- Understands colour cannot be changed
- Has checked the sample by the window
- Likes brown
- Requests the order be placed
- question: how much is payable today?
Easy to miss: The customer has already checked the sample and now authorises the order.
The total is three hundred and sixty dollars, so today's deposit is one hundred and eighty. I'll print an order slip; please bring it when collecting.
Model answer and marking points
जम्मा तीन सय साठी डलर हुन्छ, त्यसैले आजको अग्रिम रकम एक सय असी डलर हो। म अर्डरको पर्ची छापिदिन्छु। चस्मा लिन आउँदा कृपया त्यो लिएर आउनुहोस्।
What an examiner checks here:
- Total cost is $360
- Today's deposit is $180
- Staff member will print an order slip
- Bring the slip when collecting
Easy to miss: Distinguish the $360 total from the $180 deposit due today.
ठिक छ म्याम, आज एक सय असी डलर तिर्छु र बाँकी चस्मा लिन आउँदा तिर्छु। पर्ची नबिर्सी ल्याउँछु। धेरै धन्यवाद।
Model answer and marking points
All right, madam, I’ll pay one hundred and eighty dollars today and the rest when I come to collect the glasses. I’ll remember to bring the slip. Thank you very much.
What an examiner checks here:
- Will pay $180 today
- Will pay the balance when collecting the glasses
- Will remember to bring the slip
- Thanks the staff member
Easy to miss: The remaining balance is payable on collection, not today.
