Full transcript
Mr Pradhan, before we discuss your tablets, let's check your blood pressure again this morning, since your last reading was slightly high.
ନର୍ସ, ଆଜି ମୁଁ ଟିକେ ମୁଣ୍ଡ ବୁଲାଉଥିଲା ଅନୁଭବ କରୁଛି, ଏହା କ'ଣ ସାଧାରଣ କଥା?
Your reading today is one hundred fifty over ninety-five, which is higher than your last visit's one hundred thirty-five over eighty-five. Have you missed any doses this week?
ହଁ ନର୍ସ, ମୁଁ ଦୁଇ ଦିନ ଔଷଧ ଖାଇ ନାହିଁ, କାରଣ ମୁଁ ଭୁଲିଗଲି। ଯଦି ମୁଁ ହଠାତ୍ ଔଷଧ ବନ୍ଦ କରେ, ତାହା କ'ଣ ଠିକ୍ ହେବ?
No, please don't stop suddenly — that can cause your blood pressure to spike dangerously, increasing your risk of stroke. Continue the Ramipril daily, even if you feel fine.
ମୁଁ ବୁଝିଲି। ଖାଦ୍ୟରେ ଲୁଣ କମାଇବା କି ଆବଶ୍ୟକ? ମୋର ପରିବାର ପାରମ୍ପରିକ ଓଡ଼ିଆ ଖାଦ୍ୟ ଖାଏ, ଯେଉଁଥିରେ ଲୁଣ ଅଧିକ ଥାଏ।
Yes, reducing salt helps a lot. The Heart Foundation recommends thirty minutes of walking most days, alongside a low-salt, low-fat diet overall.
ଠିକ୍ ଅଛି, ମୁଁ ଚେଷ୍ଟା କରିବି। ପରବର୍ତ୍ତୀ ଯାଞ୍ଚ କେବେ ହେବ?
Let's book you in four weeks' time, at Campbelltown Community Health Centre, and I'll also give you a home monitor to track readings.
ଏହା ପାଇଁ ମୋତେ କେତେ ଖର୍ଚ୍ଚ ହେବ? ମେଡିକେୟାର ଏହାକୁ କଭର କରିବ କି?
Medicare covers the GP consultation and blood pressure check today, but the home monitor isn't covered unless your doctor bulk-bills it separately.
ଠିକ୍ ଅଛି ନର୍ସ, ମୁଁ ବୁଝିଲି। ଧନ୍ୟବାଦ ମୋତେ ସବୁ ବିସ୍ତାରରେ ବୁଝାଇବା ପାଇଁ।
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.
- medicareMedicare ଶବ୍ଦକୁ ଇଂରାଜୀରେ ଅବିକଳ କୁହନ୍ତୁ, ଏହାର ଓଡ଼ିଆ ଅନୁବାଦ ନାହିଁ।
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
Practice dialogue written to the CCL specification (two speakers, segments of 35 words or fewer, about 300 words). It is a practice text, not a NAATI test paper, and the AI score is this site's estimate, not a NAATI result. All Odia dialogues · All languages
