Full transcript

SEGMENT 1 · ENGLISH · 30 WORDS
Deputy Principal

Thank you for coming in today. I need to inform you that the school has decided to formally expel your son, effective from next Monday, due to repeated violent incidents.

SEGMENT 2 · PUNJABI · 28 WORDS
Parent

ਇਹ ਸੁਣ ਕੇ ਮੈਨੂੰ ਬਹੁਤ ਧੱਕਾ ਲੱਗਾ ਹੈ। ਮੈਨੂੰ ਤਾਂ ਪਤਾ ਹੀ ਨਹੀਂ ਸੀ ਕਿ ਮਾਮਲਾ ਇੰਨਾ ਗੰਭੀਰ ਹੋ ਗਿਆ ਹੈ। ਕੀ ਸਕੂਲ ਕੱਢਣ ਤੋਂ ਇਲਾਵਾ ਕੋਈ ਹੋਰ ਹੱਲ ਨਹੀਂ ਹੈ?

SEGMENT 3 · ENGLISH · 21 WORDS
Deputy Principal

There were three separate incidents in the last two months, including one where another student was injured and needed medical attention.

SEGMENT 4 · PUNJABI · 18 WORDS
Parent

ਠੀਕ ਹੈ, ਪਰ ਕੀ ਮੈਂ ਇਸ ਫੈਸਲੇ ਦੇ ਖਿਲਾਫ ਅਪੀਲ ਕਰ ਸਕਦਾ ਹਾਂ? ਇਹ ਪ੍ਰਕਿਰਿਆ ਕਿਵੇਂ ਕੰਮ ਕਰਦੀ ਹੈ?

SEGMENT 5 · ENGLISH · 25 WORDS
Deputy Principal

You can lodge a formal appeal within 20 days through the NSW Department of Education, though there is no guarantee the decision will be overturned.

SEGMENT 6 · PUNJABI · 20 WORDS
Parent

ਜੇ ਅਪੀਲ ਨਾ ਹੋਈ ਤਾਂ ਮੇਰੇ ਪੁੱਤਰ ਦੀ ਪੜ੍ਹਾਈ ਦਾ ਕੀ ਬਣੇਗਾ? ਕੀ ਉਹ ਕਿਸੇ ਹੋਰ ਸਕੂਲ ਵਿੱਚ ਦਾਖਲਾ ਲੈ ਸਕਦਾ ਹੈ?

SEGMENT 7 · ENGLISH · 23 WORDS
Deputy Principal

If the appeal isn't successful, he could enrol in another public school or a TAFE NSW pathway program, though placement isn't guaranteed immediately.

SEGMENT 8 · PUNJABI · 20 WORDS
Parent

ਕੀ ਇਹ ਗੱਲ ਉਸ ਦੇ ਰਿਕਾਰਡ ਵਿੱਚ ਹਮੇਸ਼ਾ ਲਈ ਰਹੇਗੀ? ਮੈਨੂੰ ਡਰ ਹੈ ਕਿ ਇਸ ਨਾਲ ਉਸ ਦਾ ਭਵਿੱਖ ਖਰਾਬ ਹੋ ਜਾਵੇਗਾ।

SEGMENT 9 · ENGLISH · 23 WORDS
Deputy Principal

The expulsion will be noted on his file, but it won't stop him enrolling elsewhere unless similar behaviour continues at the new school.

SEGMENT 10 · PUNJABI · 20 WORDS
Parent

ਧੰਨਵਾਦ ਜੀ। ਕੀ ਸਕੂਲ ਕੋਈ ਕੌਂਸਲਿੰਗ ਜਾਂ ਹੋਰ ਮਦਦ ਵੀ ਦੇ ਸਕਦਾ ਹੈ, ਤਾਂ ਜੋ ਉਹ ਇਸ ਸਮੇਂ ਵਿੱਚੋਂ ਲੰਘ ਸਕੇ?

SEGMENT 11 · ENGLISH · 23 WORDS
Deputy Principal

I'd recommend meeting with our school counsellor this week, and please try to lodge the appeal within the 20 day window we mentioned.

SEGMENT 12 · PUNJABI · 18 WORDS
Parent

ਜੀ ਹਾਂ, ਮੈਂ 20 ਦਿਨਾਂ ਦੇ ਅੰਦਰ ਅਪੀਲ ਜ਼ਰੂਰ ਦਾਖਲ ਕਰਾਂਗਾ। ਤੁਹਾਡੀ ਮਦਦ ਲਈ 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 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.
