Full transcript

SEGMENT 1 · ENGLISH · 26 WORDS
Paralegal

Mrs. Ivanova, your application is now with the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia in Sydney. Can you confirm you've been separated for twelve months?

SEGMENT 2 · RUSSIAN · 27 WORDS
Client

Да, мы официально живём раздельно уже четырнадцать месяцев, хотя первые два месяца ещё оставались в одной квартире по финансовым причинам.

SEGMENT 3 · ENGLISH · 21 WORDS
Paralegal

Do you have any children under eighteen years old, or will this application also need parenting orders filed with the court?

SEGMENT 4 · RUSSIAN · 25 WORDS
Client

Нет, детей до восемнадцати лет у нас нет. Наш единственный сын уже совершеннолетний, ему двадцать два года, и он живёт отдельно.

SEGMENT 5 · ENGLISH · 22 WORDS
Paralegal

Good, that simplifies matters considerably. Now, has your husband actually been served with the application yet, or does he still not know?

SEGMENT 6 · RUSSIAN · 23 WORDS
Client

Пока нет, документы ещё не вручены. Мы договорились, что курьер передаст их ему в понедельник, на следующей неделе.

SEGMENT 7 · ENGLISH · 22 WORDS
Paralegal

That's fine, provided service happens at least one full month before the hearing date, which the court has tentatively scheduled for October.

SEGMENT 8 · RUSSIAN · 15 WORDS
Client

Хорошо, тогда, если он получит документы вовремя, мы успеем до октябрьского заседания.

SEGMENT 9 · ENGLISH · 25 WORDS
Paralegal

After service is completed, we'll file an affidavit confirming delivery with the court. If he doesn't respond, the hearing can still proceed without his consent.

SEGMENT 10 · RUSSIAN · 16 WORDS
Client

Понятно. А что, если он вообще откажется подписывать документы о вручении?

SEGMENT 11 · ENGLISH · 23 WORDS
Paralegal

That's fine - the courier can simply file a certificate of service instead, and the court will accept that as valid proof of delivery.

SEGMENT 12 · RUSSIAN · 13 WORDS
Client

Отлично, это меня успокаивает. Спасибо, что всё объяснили так подробно.

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.

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 Russian dialogues · All languages
