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.
Mr Kowalski, your oxygen levels have stabilised after the nebuliser treatment. How does your breathing feel now compared with when you arrived at John Hunter Hospital?
Model answer and marking points

What an examiner checks here:
- Feels a little better
- Chest still feels tight

- Afraid of worsening at night

Interpret it aloud now →You received salbutamol and your oxygen saturation is now ninety-four percent, which is a good improvement. Can you tell me what triggered this attack today?
Model answer and marking points
Dostał pan salbutamol i teraz saturacja wynosi dziewięćdziesiąt cztery procent, co oznacza znaczną poprawę. Czy może mi pan powiedzieć, co wywołało dzisiejszy atak?

- question: what triggered today's attack
Easy to miss: Preserve the oxygen saturation figure of ninety-four percent.
Chyba to pyłki, bo dziś rano kosiłem trawnik, a jest teraz zimno i wietrznie. Proszę pani, czy będę mógł wrócić do pracy w przyszłym tygodniu? Pracuję na budowie.
Model answer and marking points
I think it was pollen, because I was mowing the lawn this morning, and it's cold and windy now. Ma'am, will I be able to go back to work next week? I work in construction.
What an examiner checks here:
- Suspects pollen
- Mowed the lawn this morning
- Currently cold and windy
- question: able to return to work next week
- Works in construction
Easy to miss: Pollen is a suspected trigger, not a confirmed cause.
You should avoid work for at least three days and rest at home, especially since your job involves heavy physical activity outdoors on a construction site.
Model answer and marking points
Powinien pan nie chodzić do pracy przez co najmniej trzy dni i odpoczywać w domu, zwłaszcza że wykonuje pan ciężką pracę fizyczną na świeżym powietrzu, na budowie.
What an examiner checks here:
- Avoid work for at least three days
- Rest at home
- Job involves heavy physical activity
- Works outdoors on a construction site
Easy to miss: At least three days is a minimum, not an exact return date.
Rozumiem, dziękuję. Mam jeszcze pytanie - czy pobyt w szpitalu będzie mnie kosztował? Nie mam prywatnego ubezpieczenia, tylko Medicare.
Model answer and marking points
I understand, thank you. I have another question: will I have to pay for my hospital stay? I don't have private health insurance, only Medicare.
What an examiner checks here:
- Understands and thanks the clinician
- question: whether hospital stay will cost money
- No private health insurance
- Has Medicare only
Easy to miss: The patient has Medicare, rather than no health cover at all.
As a public patient under Medicare, your emergency treatment and hospital stay today won't cost you anything, as long as you remain a public patient.
Model answer and marking points
Jako pacjent leczony w systemie publicznym w ramach Medicare nie zapłaci pan nic za dzisiejsze leczenie w trybie nagłym ani za dzisiejszy pobyt w szpitalu, pod warunkiem że pozostanie pan pacjentem leczonym w systemie publicznym.
What an examiner checks here:
- Public patient under Medicare
- Today's emergency treatment costs nothing
- Today's hospital stay costs nothing
- Conditional on remaining a public patient
Easy to miss: Free treatment is conditional on remaining a public patient.
To dobrze, dziękuję za wyjaśnienie. A czy powinienem czekać z powrotem do pracy aż do wizyty u lekarza rodzinnego, czy mogę wrócić wcześniej, jeśli poczuję się lepiej?
Model answer and marking points
That's good, thank you for explaining. Should I wait until I see my GP before going back to work, or can I go back earlier if I feel better?
What an examiner checks here:
- Relieved and thanks the clinician for explaining
- question: wait until GP visit before returning to work
- question: return earlier if feeling better
Easy to miss: Preserve both alternatives in the question about returning to work.
You can return earlier than your GP visit only if your symptoms fully settle and your peak flow readings return to normal for at least two days.
Model answer and marking points
Może pan wrócić do pracy przed wizytą u lekarza rodzinnego tylko wtedy, gdy objawy całkowicie ustąpią, a wyniki pomiarów szczytowego przepływu wydechowego wrócą do normy i utrzymają się w niej przez co najmniej dwa dni.
What an examiner checks here:
- May return before GP visit
- Only if symptoms fully settle
- Peak expiratory flow readings return to normal
- Normal readings for at least two days
Easy to miss: Both conditions must be met; simply feeling better is insufficient.
Rozumiem. Czy mogę prosić o pokazanie, jak prawidłowo używać inhalatora? Zawsze nie jestem pewien, czy robię to dobrze.
Model answer and marking points
I understand. Could you please show me how to use the inhaler correctly? I'm always unsure whether I'm doing it right.
What an examiner checks here:
- Understands
- question: demonstration of correct inhaler use
- Always unsure whether using it correctly
Easy to miss: The patient requests a demonstration, not merely confirmation that the inhaler works.
I'll show you the correct inhaler technique now, and refer you to the respiratory clinic at the hospital. If breathing worsens suddenly, call triple zero immediately.
Model answer and marking points
Teraz pokażę panu, jak prawidłowo używać inhalatora, i skieruję pana do poradni pulmonologicznej w tym szpitalu. Jeśli oddychanie nagle się pogorszy, proszę natychmiast zadzwonić pod numer zero zero zero.
What an examiner checks here:
- Will demonstrate correct inhaler technique now
- Will refer to hospital respiratory clinic
- If breathing suddenly worsens
- Call 000 immediately
Easy to miss: Triple zero means 000; do not substitute a Polish emergency number.
Dziękuję bardzo za pomoc i wyjaśnienia. Będę uważał na objawy i na pewno umówię się na wizytę kontrolną.
Model answer and marking points
Thank you very much for your help and explanations. I'll watch my symptoms and definitely book a follow-up appointment.
What an examiner checks here:
- Thanks for help and explanations
- Will monitor symptoms
- Will definitely book a follow-up appointment
Easy to miss: The patient promises to book a follow-up, not that one is already booked.
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.
- MedicareZostawić jako 'Medicare' – nazwa własna, nie tłumaczy się jej na polski.
- Triple ZeroPowiedzieć 'numer alarmowy zero-zero-zero' albo po prostu podać liczbę 000.
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.
