Full transcript
Can you describe exactly how the chest tightness felt on Saturday afternoon while you were gardening, and had you felt similar tightness before?
Senti como se tivesse um peso apertando o peito, bem forte, e durou uns dez minutos. Nunca tinha sentido isso antes.
Did the discomfort spread to your arm, neck, or jaw, and did resting for a few minutes actually make it ease completely?
A dor foi para o braço esquerdo, mas não chegou ao queixo. Quando parei para descansar, melhorou um pouco, mas não passou completamente.
I'd like to arrange a stress test at Royal Prince Alfred Hospital next Thursday morning, so we can see how your heart responds to exercise.
Preciso levar alguma coisa especial para o exame, ou só chegar lá no horário marcado?
Please fast for eight hours beforehand and wear comfortable shoes for walking, but don't stop taking your aspirin unless we specifically tell you to.
Entendi, vou fazer o jejum. Ah, doutora, e esse spray que a senhora me deu semana passada, como uso ele certo?
Place the GTN spray under your tongue as soon as pain starts; if it hasn't eased after ten minutes, call triple zero immediately.
Certo, vou usar assim. Posso voltar a trabalhar na fábrica, ou preciso ficar longe do levantamento de caixas?
Avoid heavy lifting and strenuous activity for now, stick to light duties at work, and we'll review everything again in two weeks.
Está bem, vou evitar levantar peso e avisar meu supervisor. Obrigado, doutora, nos vemos daqui a duas semanas então.

- Light dutiesDizer 'tarefas leves' ou 'funções reduzidas temporariamente'.
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 full dialogue is marked free.
