Full transcript
Before we go further, can you tell me what's been happening with your eating lately, and how you've been feeling about food and your body?
Ultimamente tenho comido muito pouco e às vezes vomito depois das refeições. Perdi bastante peso e não consigo comer na frente dos outros.
That's very helpful, thank you for sharing that. Given what you've described, I'd like to refer you to our specialised eating disorder team for a full assessment.
Isso é sério? Quanto tempo vou esperar até ser atendida por esse especialista?
At the moment, the waiting list for that specialised service is usually about three weeks, though urgent cases like yours can often be seen sooner.
Três semanas parece muito tempo... eu preciso de ajuda agora. Há alguma coisa que eu possa fazer enquanto espero?
In the meantime, we can start today with a GP mental health care plan, a dietitian referral, and a simple written safety plan for home.
Isso ajuda bastante, obrigada. Mas estou preocupada com o custo das consultas, porque não tenho muito dinheiro agora.
With a valid GP referral, several dietitian and counselling sessions are usually bulk-billed, so there's often little or no out-of-pocket cost for you.
Entendi, isso é um alívio. Mas e se eu não melhorar? Vou precisar ser internada no hospital?
If your weight keeps dropping or your heart rate becomes unstable, admission to Nepean Hospital may be needed; the Butterfly Foundation helpline can support you meanwhile.
Obrigada por explicar tudo isso. Vou começar um diário alimentar hoje mesmo e espero a ligação da equipe em breve.

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.
