Full transcript
Can you describe exactly what happened this morning, including the time, the location, how many people were involved, and whether anyone else witnessed it?
Aconteceu hoje de manhã, por volta das sete e quarenta, na loja onde eu trabalho, em Blacktown. Três homens entraram e um deles tinha uma faca.
Did the man holding the knife threaten you directly, and can you describe his height, clothing, and any accent he had?
Sim, ele apontou a faca para mim e disse para eu abrir a caixa registradora. Ele era alto, usava um boné preto e falava com sotaque forte.
I'll give you an event number right now for your records; you will need it for your insurance claim and any follow-up enquiries with police.
Obrigado. Eu vou precisar ir ao tribunal para depor sobre isso, mesmo que eles não peguem os homens?
No — you won't need to attend court unless police identify and formally charge a suspect; if that happens, you may be called as a witness.
Entendo. Estou com medo de eles voltarem à loja. Existe alguma proteção ou patrulha extra na área?
We'll arrange for local officers to patrol the Blacktown shopping strip more often this week, and we'll request CCTV footage from nearby shops, including the newsagency where the robbery took place.
Isso ajuda bastante. E sobre o dinheiro que foi roubado, quase quatrocentos dólares, o seguro vai cobrir isso?
Contact your insurer directly and give them this event number; they'll assess the claim according to their own policy conditions.
Perfeito, vou ligar para o seguro amanhã de manhã. Muito obrigado pela ajuda de vocês hoje.

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.
