Full transcript
Good morning, welcome to Westfield Public School. Could you please tell me your daughter's age and which grade she's currently enrolled in?
ਜੀ ਹਾਂ, ਮੇਰੀ ਧੀ ਦਸ ਸਾਲ ਦੀ ਹੈ ਅਤੇ ਉਹ ਆਪਣੇ ਪਿਛਲੇ ਸਕੂਲ ਵਿੱਚ ਪੰਜਵੀਂ ਜਮਾਤ ਵਿੱਚ ਪੜ੍ਹਦੀ ਸੀ।
For enrolment, we'll need her previous school reports, immunisation records, and proof of your current address. Do you have these documents with you today?
ਮੇਰੇ ਕੋਲ ਉਸਦੀ ਪਿਛਲੀ ਰਿਪੋਰਟ ਅਤੇ ਟੀਕਾਕਰਨ ਦਾ ਰਿਕਾਰਡ ਹੈ, ਪਰ ਪਤੇ ਦਾ ਸਬੂਤ ਘਰ ਰਹਿ ਗਿਆ ਹੈ। ਕੀ ਮੈਂ ਬਾਅਦ ਵਿੱਚ ਲਿਆ ਸਕਦੀ ਹਾਂ?
Yes, that's fine—bring the proof of address later this week; we'll start the paperwork today. School runs 9 am to 3:15 pm, full uniform required including a hat and jumper.
ਸਕੂਲ ਦੀ ਬੱਸ ਕਿੱਥੋਂ ਮਿਲਦੀ ਹੈ? ਅਸੀਂ ਥੋੜੀ ਦੂਰ ਰਹਿੰਦੇ ਹਾਂ ਅਤੇ ਮੇਰੇ ਕੋਲ ਗੱਡੀ ਨਹੀਂ ਹੈ।
The school bus arrives at 8:30 am near the shops on Main Street. Your daughter will need an Opal card, which we can arrange for her today.
ਮੇਰੀ ਧੀ ਦੀ ਅੰਗਰੇਜ਼ੀ ਬਹੁਤੀ ਚੰਗੀ ਨਹੀਂ ਹੈ। ਕੀ ਸਕੂਲ ਵਿੱਚ ਕੋਈ ਵਾਧੂ ਮਦਦ ਮਿਲਦੀ ਹੈ?
We do offer an EAL/D program, that's English as an Additional Language or Dialect, three days a week, if her English needs extra support.
ਧੰਨਵਾਦ ਜੀ, ਇਹ ਬਹੁਤ ਚੰਗਾ ਹੈ। ਉਹ ਕਦੋਂ ਤੋਂ ਸਕੂਲ ਸ਼ੁਰੂ ਕਰ ਸਕਦੀ ਹੈ?
She can start Monday next week, as long as we receive her proof of address beforehand; otherwise, her enrolment may unfortunately be delayed a little.
ਠੀਕ ਹੈ ਜੀ, ਮੈਂ ਪਤੇ ਦਾ ਸਬੂਤ ਕੱਲ੍ਹ ਤੱਕ ਲੈ ਆਵਾਂਗੀ। ਬਹੁਤ ਧੰਨਵਾਦ ਤੁਹਾਡੀ ਮਦਦ ਲਈ।
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.
- public school'ਸਰਕਾਰੀ ਸਕੂਲ' ਕਹੋ, ਇਹ ਸਹੀ ਅਤੇ ਸਮਝਣ ਯੋਗ ਅਨੁਵਾਦ ਹੈ।
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.
