Full transcript

SEGMENT 1 · ENGLISH · 28 WORDS
Intake worker

Welcome to Merrylands Community Mental Health, Mrs Sandhu. I'm Daniel, from intake. Your first appointment is on 7 November at 4 pm. Is anything worrying you about coming?

SEGMENT 2 · PUNJABI · 24 WORDS
New client

ਸਤ ਸ੍ਰੀ ਅਕਾਲ ਜੀ। ਮੈਨੂੰ ਥੋੜ੍ਹੀ ਘਬਰਾਹਟ ਹੈ। ਭੀੜ ਵਾਲੀ ਥਾਂ ਵਿੱਚ ਬੈਠਣਾ ਮੈਨੂੰ ਔਖਾ ਲੱਗਦਾ ਹੈ, ਮੈਂ ਕੋਈ ਸ਼ਾਂਤ ਜਗ੍ਹਾ ਚਾਹੁੰਦੀ ਹਾਂ।

SEGMENT 3 · ENGLISH · 27 WORDS
Intake worker

Yes, we can arrange that. We have two waiting areas: the main room, and a smaller, quieter room down the hall. Would you prefer the quieter one?

SEGMENT 4 · PUNJABI · 20 WORDS
New client

ਹਾਂ ਜੀ, ਮੈਨੂੰ ਛੋਟਾ ਸ਼ਾਂਤ ਕਮਰਾ ਹੀ ਚਾਹੀਦਾ ਹੈ। ਉੱਥੇ ਬੈਠ ਕੇ ਮੈਂ ਜ਼ਿਆਦਾ ਸੌਖ ਮਹਿਸੂਸ ਕਰਾਂਗੀ।

SEGMENT 5 · ENGLISH · 29 WORDS
Intake worker

Certainly, I'll note that on your file. Now, how would you like reminders? We can send a text message or phone you, but we won't call without your permission.

SEGMENT 6 · PUNJABI · 22 WORDS
New client

ਮੈਨੂੰ ਫ਼ੋਨ ਨਾ ਕਰਿਓ ਜੀ, ਕਿਉਂਕਿ ਘਰ ਵਿੱਚ ਹਰ ਕੋਈ ਸੁਣ ਲੈਂਦਾ ਹੈ। ਤੁਸੀਂ ਮੈਨੂੰ ਸਿਰਫ਼ ਟੈਕਸਟ ਮੈਸਿਜ ਭੇਜ ਦਿਓ।

SEGMENT 7 · ENGLISH · 27 WORDS
Intake worker

Understood. We'll send the text one day before, on 6 November. If you can't attend, please tell us, and we'll find another time. Is that all right?

SEGMENT 8 · PUNJABI · 24 WORDS
New client

ਠੀਕ ਹੈ ਜੀ, ਇੱਕ ਦਿਨ ਪਹਿਲਾਂ ਮੈਸਿਜ ਆ ਜਾਵੇ ਤਾਂ ਚੰਗਾ ਹੈ। ਜੇ ਮੈਂ ਨਾ ਆ ਸਕੀ, ਤਾਂ ਮੈਂ ਤੁਹਾਨੂੰ ਆਪ ਦੱਸ ਦਿਆਂਗੀ।

SEGMENT 9 · ENGLISH · 28 WORDS
Intake worker

Also, I should mention that I only handle bookings and records. The clinician will talk about treatment with you. Do you have a Medicare card with you today?

SEGMENT 10 · PUNJABI · 25 WORDS
New client

ਹਾਂ ਜੀ, ਮੇਰੇ ਕੋਲ ਮੈਡੀਕੇਅਰ ਕਾਰਡ ਹੈ। ਮੈਂ ਸਮਝ ਗਈ ਹਾਂ ਕਿ ਇਲਾਜ ਬਾਰੇ ਗੱਲ ਉੱਥੇ ਡਾਕਟਰ ਜਾਂ ਕਲੀਨੀਸ਼ਨ ਹੀ ਕਰਨਗੇ।

SEGMENT 11 · ENGLISH · 21 WORDS
Intake worker

Thank you. Please bring it on 7 November. If you feel unwell before then, call us. See you then, Mrs Sandhu.

SEGMENT 12 · PUNJABI · 20 WORDS
New client

ਬਹੁਤ ਮਿਹਰਬਾਨੀ ਜੀ। ਮੈਂ ਸੱਤ ਨਵੰਬਰ ਨੂੰ ਸ਼ਾਮ ਚਾਰ ਵਜੇ ਕਾਰਡ ਲੈ ਕੇ ਆ ਜਾਵਾਂਗੀ। ਤੁਹਾਡਾ ਬਹੁਤ ਧੰਨਵਾਦ।

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.

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.

We check every 2 hours. NAATI updates its list about once a day, so this is not a live seat alert. One email to confirm, then one per change, nothing else. Stop any time in one tap.

How the test works

Practice dialogue written to the CCL specification (two speakers, segments of 35 words or fewer, about 300 words). It is a practice text, not a NAATI test paper, and the AI score is this site's estimate, not a NAATI result. All Punjabi dialogues · All languages
