Full transcript

SEGMENT 1 · ENGLISH · 22 WORDS
Counsellor

Thanks for coming in today, Ms. Kuznetsova. I'd like to talk about how you've been managing since your husband's passing last month.

SEGMENT 2 · RUSSIAN · 30 WORDS
Client

Честно говоря, мне очень тяжело. По ночам я почти не сплю, всё время думаю о нём, и мне кажется, что я схожу с ума.

SEGMENT 3 · ENGLISH · 21 WORDS
Counsellor

You mentioned trouble sleeping. How many nights a week would you say you're waking up feeling anxious or unable to settle?

SEGMENT 4 · RUSSIAN · 32 WORDS
Client

Пять или шесть ночей в неделю я просыпаюсь среди ночи и потом уже не могу заснуть. Но я не хочу принимать никакие таблетки — не хочу становиться зависимой.

SEGMENT 5 · ENGLISH · 26 WORDS
Counsellor

That's understandable. Rather than medication straight away, I'd suggest we try some grounding techniques first, and I can give you Lifeline's number for those harder nights.

SEGMENT 6 · RUSSIAN · 22 WORDS
Client

Хорошо, давайте попробуем без лекарств. Номер Lifeline я запишу, но, надеюсь, звонить придётся только если станет совсем невыносимо.

SEGMENT 7 · ENGLISH · 22 WORDS
Counsellor

Let's book you in for next Thursday at ten thirty, for a fifty-minute session. Does that time work with your work schedule?

SEGMENT 8 · RUSSIAN · 20 WORDS
Client

Да, в четверг мне удобно, я как раз работаю только до обеда. А сколько будет стоить эта консультация?

SEGMENT 9 · ENGLISH · 22 WORDS
Counsellor

Since your GP referred you under a mental health care plan, today's session is bulk-billed, so there's no out-of-pocket cost for you.

SEGMENT 10 · RUSSIAN · 24 WORDS
Client

Слава богу, а то у меня сейчас каждая копейка на счету. А можно, чтобы дочь тоже иногда приходила со мной на приём?

SEGMENT 11 · ENGLISH · 25 WORDS
Counsellor

We could arrange a family session too, if you and your daughter both feel ready. It's entirely optional, and only if you'd like that support.

SEGMENT 12 · RUSSIAN · 22 WORDS
Client

Спасибо, думаю, ей это тоже поможет — она очень переживает за меня после смерти отца. Договоримся об этом в четверг.

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.
