Full transcript
Before we start, can you tell me exactly when your manager told you the job at the Dandenong warehouse had ended?
Foi na quinta-feira passada, sem aviso nenhum. O gerente me chamou na sala e disse que o contrato tinha terminado, depois de três anos trabalhando lá.
Did they give you anything in writing, or was it only a verbal conversation when you finished your shift at the warehouse?
Não recebi nada por escrito, foi só verbal. Ele me deu duas semanas de pagamento no lugar do aviso prévio, mas não me explicou o motivo.
You'll need to lodge your application with the Fair Work Commission within twenty-one days of your dismissal, otherwise they mightn't accept your case.
Entendo. Mas quanto tempo leva para a Comissão decidir o meu caso depois que enviarmos a candidatura?
Typically the Commission arranges a conciliation conference within about six weeks, though a final decision can take up to three months if the matter proceeds to a formal hearing.
Isso é bastante tempo. Posso marcar um horário essa semana para começarmos a preparar a candidatura?
Let's book you in for Wednesday morning at half past ten so we can complete the application together at our office.
Perfeito, quarta-feira às dez e meia está bom para mim. Que documentos preciso trazer para essa reunião?
Bring your dismissal letter, recent payslips and your employment contract; you won't need a medical certificate unless the dismissal involved a workplace injury.
Muito obrigado. Vou trazer a carta de demissão, os holerites e o contrato de trabalho na quarta-feira.

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.
