Under each segment: a model interpretation, the information points an examiner checks, and the easiest thing to miss. Try the segment yourself first, then open it. The model is one good way to say it; other wordings that keep every point score just as well.

The new wellness program starts here in Strathfield on 1 August. Which parts interest you most: lunchtime fitness, confidential counselling, or changing your start time?
Model answer and marking points
ਨਵਾਂ ਵੈੱਲਨੈੱਸ ਪ੍ਰੋਗਰਾਮ ਇੱਥੇ ਸਟ੍ਰੈਥਫ਼ੀਲਡ ਵਿੱਚ 1 ਅਗਸਤ ਤੋਂ ਸ਼ੁਰੂ ਹੋ ਰਿਹਾ ਹੈ। ਤੁਹਾਨੂੰ ਕਿਹੜੇ ਹਿੱਸੇ ਸਭ ਤੋਂ ਵੱਧ ਪਸੰਦ ਆਉਂਦੇ ਹਨ: ਲੰਚ ਟਾਈਮ ਦੀ ਫਿਟਨੈੱਸ, ਗੁਪਤ ਕਾਊਂਸਲਿੰਗ, ਜਾਂ ਕੰਮ ਸ਼ੁਰੂ ਕਰਨ ਦਾ ਸਮਾਂ ਬਦਲਣਾ?
Navaan wellness program itthe Strathfield vich 1 August ton shuru ho riha hai. Tuhaanoon kihre hisse sabh ton vaddh pasand aaunde han: lanch time di fitness, gupat counselling, jaan kamm shuru karan da samaan badalna?
What an examiner checks here:
- new wellness program starts at Strathfield
- start date 1 August
- question: which parts interest you most
- options: lunchtime fitness, confidential counselling, changing start time
Easy to miss: The final item is changing the start time of work, and it is a question, not a statement.
ਮੈਨੂੰ ਫਿਟਨੈੱਸ ਤੇ ਕਾਊਂਸਲਿੰਗ ਦੋਵਾਂ ਵਿੱਚ ਦਿਲਚਸਪੀ ਹੈ। ਮੈਂ ਅੱਜਕੱਲ੍ਹ ਕਾਫ਼ੀ ਤਣਾਅ ਵਿੱਚ ਰਹਿੰਦੀ ਹਾਂ, ਪਰ ਨਹੀਂ ਚਾਹੁੰਦੀ ਕਿ ਮੇਰੇ ਮੈਨੇਜਰ ਨੂੰ ਮੇਰੀਆਂ ਨਿੱਜੀ ਗੱਲਾਂ ਪਤਾ ਲੱਗਣ।
Mainoon fitness te counselling dovaan vich dilchaspi hai. Main ajjkallh kaafi tanaa vich rahindi haan, par naheen chaahundi ki mere manager noon meriyan nijji gallaan pata laggan.
Model answer and marking points
I'm interested in both fitness and counselling. I've been quite stressed lately, but I don't want my manager to find out my personal matters.
What an examiner checks here:
- interested in both fitness and counselling
- speaker is female and feels quite stressed lately
- does not want manager to know
- concern is about personal matters
Easy to miss: Keeping the negative 'don't want my manager to find out' rather than saying she doesn't want counselling.
Your turn — don't read the rest yet. Hear this dialogue at native speed and interpret each segment aloud; AI marks what you kept, left out or changed, segment by segment. Your first two full dialogues are marked free.
Interpret it aloud now →There are two lunchtime fitness sessions each week and three free counselling sessions. We receive attendance totals, but the counsellor won't share your personal discussions.
Model answer and marking points
ਹਰ ਹਫ਼ਤੇ ਲੰਚ ਟਾਈਮ ਵਿੱਚ ਫਿਟਨੈੱਸ ਦੇ ਦੋ ਸੈਸ਼ਨ ਹੁੰਦੇ ਹਨ ਅਤੇ ਕਾਊਂਸਲਿੰਗ ਦੇ ਤਿੰਨ ਸੈਸ਼ਨ ਮੁਫ਼ਤ ਹਨ। ਸਾਨੂੰ ਹਾਜ਼ਰੀ ਦੇ ਕੁੱਲ ਅੰਕੜੇ ਮਿਲਦੇ ਹਨ, ਪਰ ਕਾਊਂਸਲਰ ਤੁਹਾਡੀਆਂ ਨਿੱਜੀ ਗੱਲਾਂ-ਬਾਤਾਂ ਕਿਸੇ ਨਾਲ ਸਾਂਝੀਆਂ ਨਹੀਂ ਕਰੇਗਾ।
Har hafte lanch time vich fitness de do session hunde han ate counselling de tinn session muft han. Saanoon haazri de kull ankre milde han, par counsellor tuhaadiyan nijji gallaan-buts kise naal saanjhiyan naheen karega.
What an examiner checks here:
- two lunchtime fitness sessions each week
- three free counselling sessions
- employer receives attendance totals
- counsellor will not share personal discussions
Easy to miss: Mixing up the numbers: two fitness sessions weekly versus three free counselling sessions.
ਇਹ ਸੁਣ ਕੇ ਚੰਗਾ ਲੱਗਿਆ। ਕਾਊਂਸਲਿੰਗ ਲਈ ਬੁਕਿੰਗ ਮੈਂ ਆਪ ਕਰ ਸਕਦੀ ਹਾਂ? ਫਿਟਨੈੱਸ ਵਾਲੇ ਸੈਸ਼ਨ ਮੇਰੇ ਲੰਚ ਬ੍ਰੇਕ ਨਾਲ ਟਕਰਾਉਣ ਤਾਂ ਕੀ ਕਰਾਂ?
Ih sun ke changa laggiya. Counselling lai booking main aap kar sakdi haan? Fitness vaale session mere lanch break naal takraaun taan ki karaan?
Model answer and marking points
That's good to hear. Can I book the counselling myself? What should I do if the fitness sessions clash with my lunch break?
What an examiner checks here:
- good to hear this
- question: can I book counselling myself
- question: what to do if fitness sessions clash with lunch break
Easy to miss: Both are questions; the first must not become a statement that she will book herself.
You can book counselling using the provider's number on this leaflet. If fitness clashes with your lunch break, we can arrange another break time with your manager.
Model answer and marking points
ਤੁਸੀਂ ਇਸ ਪਰਚੇ ਉੱਤੇ ਦਿੱਤੇ ਪ੍ਰੋਵਾਈਡਰ ਦੇ ਨੰਬਰ ਉੱਤੇ ਫੋਨ ਕਰਕੇ ਕਾਊਂਸਲਿੰਗ ਬੁੱਕ ਕਰ ਸਕਦੇ ਹੋ। ਜੇ ਫਿਟਨੈੱਸ ਤੁਹਾਡੇ ਲੰਚ ਬ੍ਰੇਕ ਨਾਲ ਟਕਰਾਏ, ਤਾਂ ਅਸੀਂ ਤੁਹਾਡੇ ਮੈਨੇਜਰ ਨਾਲ ਗੱਲ ਕਰਕੇ ਬ੍ਰੇਕ ਦਾ ਕੋਈ ਹੋਰ ਸਮਾਂ ਤੈਅ ਕਰ ਸਕਦੇ ਹਾਂ।
Tuseen is parche utte ditte provider de number utte phon karke counselling book kar sakde ho. Je fitness tuhaade lanch break naal takraae, taan aseen tuhaade manager naal gall karke break da koi hor samaan taia kar sakde haan.
What an examiner checks here:
- can book counselling using provider's number
- number is on this leaflet
- if fitness clashes with lunch break, another break time can be arranged
- arranged with the manager
Easy to miss: The number belongs to the counselling provider, not to the workplace.
ਠੀਕ ਹੈ, ਮੈਂ ਪਹਿਲਾਂ ਸਮਾਂ ਵੇਖ ਲਵਾਂਗੀ। ਨਾਲ ਹੀ, ਮੈਂ ਬੁੱਧਵਾਰ ਨੂੰ ਅੱਧਾ ਘੰਟਾ ਦੇਰ ਨਾਲ ਕੰਮ ਸ਼ੁਰੂ ਕਰਨਾ ਚਾਹੁੰਦੀ ਹਾਂ। ਕੀ ਇਸ ਦੀ ਵੀ ਗੁੰਜਾਇਸ਼ ਹੈ?
Theek hai, main pahilaan samaan vekh lavaangi. Naal hi, main buddhvaar noon addha ghanta der naal kamm shuru karna chaahundi haan. Ki is di vi gunjaaish hai?
Model answer and marking points
Okay, I'll check the times first. Also, I'd like to start work half an hour later on Wednesdays. Is there any possibility of that too?
What an examiner checks here:
- will check the times first
- wants to start half an hour later
- on Wednesdays
- question: is that possible too
Easy to miss: Half an hour later, not earlier, and Wednesday only.
A later start on Wednesdays may be possible if your manager agrees and the team has coverage. Would you be able to finish later too?
Model answer and marking points
ਬੁੱਧਵਾਰ ਨੂੰ ਦੇਰ ਨਾਲ ਸ਼ੁਰੂ ਕਰਨਾ ਸੰਭਵ ਹੋ ਸਕਦਾ ਹੈ, ਜੇ ਤੁਹਾਡਾ ਮੈਨੇਜਰ ਮੰਨ ਜਾਵੇ ਅਤੇ ਟੀਮ ਵਿੱਚ ਕੰਮ ਸੰਭਾਲਣ ਲਈ ਲੋਕ ਹੋਣ। ਕੀ ਤੁਸੀਂ ਕੰਮ ਵੀ ਦੇਰ ਨਾਲ ਖ਼ਤਮ ਕਰ ਸਕੋਗੇ?
Buddhvaar noon der naal shuru karna sambhav ho sakda hai, je tuhaada manager mann jaave ate team vich kamm sambhaalan lai lok hon. Ki tuseen kamm vi der naal khatam kar sakoge?
What an examiner checks here:
- later start on Wednesdays may be possible
- condition: manager agrees
- condition: team has coverage
- question: would you be able to finish later too
Easy to miss: 'May be possible' is not a promise, and the final sentence is a question.
ਹਾਂ ਜੀ, ਮੈਂ ਅੱਧਾ ਘੰਟਾ ਦੇਰ ਨਾਲ ਕੰਮ ਮੁਕਾ ਸਕਦੀ ਹਾਂ। ਕੀ ਪਹਿਲਾਂ ਇੱਕ ਮਹੀਨੇ ਲਈ ਇਹ ਕਰਕੇ ਵੇਖ ਸਕਦੇ ਹਾਂ ਕਿ ਇਹ ਇੰਤਜ਼ਾਮ ਕਿਵੇਂ ਚੱਲਦਾ ਹੈ?
Haan ji, main addha ghanta der naal kamm muka sakdi haan. Ki pahilaan ikk maheene lai ih karke vekh sakde haan ki ih intzaam kiven challda hai?
Model answer and marking points
Yes, I can finish work half an hour later. Could we first try this for one month to see how the arrangement works?
What an examiner checks here:
- yes, can finish half an hour later
- question: can we try it first
- trial for one month
- to see how the arrangement works
Easy to miss: The month-long trial is proposed as a question, not stated as already agreed.
We can propose a month as a trial, with the agreed hours recorded in writing. Joining the wellness program itself is voluntary and remains separate.
Model answer and marking points
ਅਸੀਂ ਇੱਕ ਮਹੀਨੇ ਦੇ ਟ੍ਰਾਇਲ ਦੀ ਤਜਵੀਜ਼ ਰੱਖ ਸਕਦੇ ਹਾਂ, ਅਤੇ ਤੈਅ ਹੋਏ ਘੰਟੇ ਲਿਖਤੀ ਰੂਪ ਵਿੱਚ ਦਰਜ ਕੀਤੇ ਜਾਣਗੇ। ਵੈੱਲਨੈੱਸ ਪ੍ਰੋਗਰਾਮ ਵਿੱਚ ਸ਼ਾਮਲ ਹੋਣਾ ਆਪਣੀ ਮਰਜ਼ੀ ਨਾਲ ਹੈ ਅਤੇ ਇਹ ਵੱਖਰੀ ਗੱਲ ਹੈ।
Aseen ikk maheene de trial di tajveez rakkh sakde haan, ate taia hoe ghante likhti roop vich darj keete jaange. Wellness program vich shaamal hona aapni marzi naal hai ate ih vakkhri gall hai.
What an examiner checks here:
- can propose a one-month trial
- agreed hours recorded in writing
- joining the program is voluntary
- program is separate from the hours arrangement
Easy to miss: We 'can propose' a trial, which does not mean it is approved.
ਫਿਰ ਮੈਂ ਫਿਟਨੈੱਸ ਲਈ ਨਾਂ ਲਿਖਵਾ ਦਿੰਦੀ ਹਾਂ। ਕਾਊਂਸਲਿੰਗ ਬਾਰੇ ਹਾਲੇ ਥੋੜ੍ਹਾ ਸੋਚਣਾ ਚਾਹੁੰਦੀ ਹਾਂ। ਜੇ ਹੁਣ ਬੁਕਿੰਗ ਨਾ ਕਰਾਂ, ਤਾਂ ਕੀ ਬਾਅਦ ਵਿੱਚ ਕਰ ਸਕਦੀ ਹਾਂ?
Phir main fitness lai naan likhva dindi haan. Counselling baare haale thorha sochna chaahundi haan. Je hun booking na karaan, taan ki baad vich kar sakdi haan?
Model answer and marking points
Then I'll put my name down for fitness. I'd like to think a little more about counselling for now. If I don't book now, can I do it later?
What an examiner checks here:
- will sign up for fitness
- wants to think more about counselling
- not booking counselling now
- question: can she book later
Easy to miss: She enrols in fitness only; counselling is undecided, not declined.
Yes, you can book counselling later. Please complete this registration form for fitness, and I'll arrange a discussion about your proposed hours with your manager.
Model answer and marking points
ਹਾਂ, ਤੁਸੀਂ ਕਾਊਂਸਲਿੰਗ ਬਾਅਦ ਵਿੱਚ ਵੀ ਬੁੱਕ ਕਰ ਸਕਦੇ ਹੋ। ਕਿਰਪਾ ਕਰਕੇ ਫਿਟਨੈੱਸ ਲਈ ਇਹ ਰਜਿਸਟ੍ਰੇਸ਼ਨ ਫਾਰਮ ਭਰ ਦਿਓ, ਅਤੇ ਤੁਹਾਡੇ ਪ੍ਰਸਤਾਵਿਤ ਘੰਟਿਆਂ ਬਾਰੇ ਤੁਹਾਡੇ ਮੈਨੇਜਰ ਨਾਲ ਗੱਲਬਾਤ ਮੈਂ ਕਰਵਾ ਦਿਆਂਗਾ।
Haan, tuseen counselling baad vich vi book kar sakde ho. Kirpa karke fitness lai ih registration form bhar dio, ate tuhaade prastaavit ghantiyan baare tuhaade manager naal gallbaat main karva diyaanga.
What an examiner checks here:
- yes, counselling can be booked later
- complete the registration form
- form is for fitness
- speaker will arrange a discussion with the manager
- discussion is about her proposed hours
Easy to miss: The form is for fitness only, not for counselling.
ਧੰਨਵਾਦ ਜੀ, ਮੈਂ ਹੁਣੇ ਫਾਰਮ ਭਰ ਦਿੰਦੀ ਹਾਂ। ਪਰਚਾ ਵੀ ਆਪਣੇ ਕੋਲ ਰੱਖ ਲਵਾਂਗੀ ਤਾਂ ਜੋ ਲੋੜ ਪੈਣ ਉੱਤੇ ਕਾਊਂਸਲਿੰਗ ਲਈ ਆਪ ਫੋਨ ਕਰ ਸਕਾਂ।
Dhannvaad ji, main hune form bhar dindi haan. Parcha vi aapne kol rakkh lavaangi taan jo lor pain utte counselling lai aap phon kar sakaan.
Model answer and marking points
Thank you. I'll fill in the form right now. I'll also keep the leaflet with me so I can call about counselling myself if I need to.
What an examiner checks here:
- thanks
- will fill in the form now
- will keep the leaflet
- will call about counselling herself if needed
Easy to miss: She will call herself only if needed, not book counselling now.
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.
- Counselling sessions'ਕੌਂਸਲਿੰਗ ਸੈਸ਼ਨ' ਕਹੋ, ਲੋੜ ਪਵੇ ਤਾਂ 'ਮਸ਼ਵਰੇ ਦੇ ਸੈਸ਼ਨ' ਜੋੜ ਸਕਦੇ ਹੋ।
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.
