Full transcript
Thanks for coming in today, Mr. Nayak. I appreciate it. Can you tell me what has been troubling you since you lost your job three weeks ago?
ମେଡ଼ାମ, ଚାକିରି ଛାଡ଼ିବା ପରଠାରୁ ମୋର ମନ ଭାରି ଅସ୍ଥିର ଲାଗୁଛି। ରାତିରେ ଠିକ୍ ଭାବେ ଶୋଇ ପାରୁ ନାହିଁ, ଆଉ ସବୁବେଳେ ଚିନ୍ତାରେ ରହୁଛି ମୋ ପରିବାର କେମିତି ଚଳିବ।
I understand, and that sounds difficult. Have you noticed changes in your sleep or appetite, and are you managing daily tasks like cooking or bathing?
ମେଡ଼ାମ, ଖାଇବାକୁ ମୋର ମନ ହେଉନାହିଁ, ଦିନକୁ ହୁଏତ ଦୁଇ ଥର ଅଳ୍ପ କିଛି ଖାଉଛି। ରାତିରେ ମୋର ଚାରି କି ପାଞ୍ଚ ଘଣ୍ଟା ମାତ୍ର ନିଦ ହେଉଛି, ଆଉ ସକାଳେ ଉଠିଲେ ମୁଁ ଥକ୍କା ଅନୁଭବ କରୁଛି।
It's good you're not facing this completely alone. Would you consider a referral to headspace Bendigo for additional support alongside our regular sessions?
ହଁ ମେଡ଼ାମ, ଯଦି ଏହା ମୋତେ ସାହାଯ୍ୟ କରିପାରେ, ମୁଁ ନିଶ୍ଚୟ ହେଡ୍ସ୍ପେସ୍ ବେଣ୍ଡିଗୋକୁ ଯିବାକୁ ରାଜି ଅଛି। ମୋ ପରିବାର ମଧ୍ୟ ଚାହୁଁଛନ୍ତି ମୁଁ କାହାରି ସହ କଥାବାର୍ତ୍ତା କରେ।
I need to ask directly, because it matters — have you had any thoughts of harming yourself, or is it mainly overwhelming sadness and worry?
ନା ମେଡ଼ାମ, ମୋର ନିଜକୁ କ୍ଷତି ପହଞ୍ଚାଇବାର ଚିନ୍ତା ନାହିଁ। କେବଳ ମୁଁ ବହୁତ ଦୁଃଖ ଓ ଚିନ୍ତାରେ ଅଛି, ଭବିଷ୍ୟତ ନେଇ ଡରୁଛି।
That's reassuring to hear, thank you for being honest. Let's book a follow-up appointment in two weeks, and I'll give you the headspace Bendigo contact details today.
ଠିକ୍ ଅଛି ମେଡ଼ାମ, ଦୁଇ ସପ୍ତାହ ପରେ ଆସିବି। ହେଡ୍ସ୍ପେସ୍ ବେଣ୍ଡିଗୋର ବିବରଣୀ ପାଇଲେ ମୋତେ ବହୁତ ସାହାଯ୍ୟ ହେବ।
You're doing the right thing by seeking help today. If things feel unbearable before then, please call Lifeline any time, day or night, without hesitation.
ଧନ୍ୟବାଦ ମେଡ଼ାମ, ଯଦି କିଛି ଅସହ୍ୟ ଲାଗେ, ମୁଁ ନିଶ୍ଚୟ ଲାଇଫ୍ଲାଇନ୍କୁ ଫୋନ୍ କରିବି। ଆଜି କଥାହେଲା ପାଇଁ ବହୁତ ଭଲ ଲାଗିଲା।
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.
- lifelineLifeline ନାମକୁ ସେହିପରି ଇଂରାଜୀରେ ରଖନ୍ତୁ, ଆବଶ୍ୟକ ହେଲେ 'ସଙ୍କଟ ସହାୟତା ହେଲ୍ପଲାଇନ' ବୋଲି ବ୍ୟାଖ୍ୟା କରନ୍ତୁ।
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.

How the test works
