Full transcript

SEGMENT 1 · ENGLISH · 27 WORDS
Employment Advisor

Take a seat, Mr Volkov. You mentioned you were dismissed last Thursday morning after four years with the company — can you walk me through exactly what happened?

SEGMENT 2 · RUSSIAN · 30 WORDS
Client

Да, в четверг утром меня неожиданно вызвали в кабинет директора после четырёх лет работы в компании. Там сказали, что моя должность сокращается, и попросили сразу собрать вещи.

SEGMENT 3 · ENGLISH · 20 WORDS
Employment Advisor

Did they hand you a written termination letter, explain your notice period, or mention any severance pay during that meeting?

SEGMENT 4 · RUSSIAN · 28 WORDS
Client

Нет, никакого письма мне не дали, ни о выходном пособии, ни о сроке уведомления. Сказали, что документы пришлют позже, но пока ничего не пришло.

SEGMENT 5 · ENGLISH · 23 WORDS
Employment Advisor

Without written notice, that's concerning. Were you given any reason beyond redundancy — performance issues, misconduct, or anything documented previously in your file?

SEGMENT 6 · RUSSIAN · 26 WORDS
Client

Нет, ничего подобного не было. Последняя оценка моей работы в июне была положительной, никаких претензий или нарушений в моём деле не зафиксировано.

SEGMENT 7 · ENGLISH · 26 WORDS
Employment Advisor

If there's no valid reason and no proper consultation process, this could amount to unfair dismissal. You can lodge a claim with the Fair Work Commission.

SEGMENT 8 · RUSSIAN · 25 WORDS
Client

Правда? Я слышал об этой комиссии, но не знал, что можно туда обратиться после увольнения без предупреждения и без письменного уведомления.

SEGMENT 9 · ENGLISH · 25 WORDS
Employment Advisor

Yes, but you must lodge the application within twenty-one days of the dismissal date, otherwise the Commission may refuse to hear your case at all.

SEGMENT 10 · RUSSIAN · 18 WORDS
Client

Двадцать один день — это действительно очень мало времени. Что именно мне нужно подготовить для подачи заявления?

SEGMENT 11 · ENGLISH · 24 WORDS
Employment Advisor

Bring your employment contract, payslips, and any messages about the meeting on Thursday. We'll complete the Fair Work Commission application form together this afternoon.

SEGMENT 12 · RUSSIAN · 23 WORDS
Client

Хорошо, я принесу трудовой договор и все документы завтра утром. Большое спасибо за помощь — теперь я понимаю, что делать дальше.

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.
