Full transcript
Good afternoon, Mr. Volkov. Thanks for coming in today. Can you tell me what symptoms you've been experiencing with your hay fever this week?
Здравствуйте, доктор. У меня постоянно чихание, глаза чешутся и слезятся, а нос заложен уже почти две недели, особенно утром.
Do your eyes itch or water, and does this affect your sleep at night? Have you ever had asthma or any breathing problems in the past?
Да, из-за заложенности носа я плохо сплю по ночам. Астмы у меня никогда не было, но в детстве была экзема.
The pollen count has been quite high across Ballarat this week, especially in the mornings. Do you spend much time outdoors, perhaps gardening or working outside?
Я работаю садовником, поэтому провожу на улице почти весь день, особенно ранним утром, когда пыльца, наверное, сильнее всего.
I'd recommend a nasal spray twice daily and an antihistamine tablet once a day for about two weeks, then we'll review your progress.
Мне нужно каждый день ездить за рулём по работе. Этот антигистаминный препарат не вызовет сонливость?
This antihistamine shouldn't cause drowsiness, but please don't drink alcohol while taking it, and stop immediately if you notice any rash or swelling.
Понятно, спасибо. А где лучше купить эти лекарства и сколько это будет стоить примерно?
You can get both from Chemist Warehouse without a prescription. If your symptoms don't improve within two weeks, please book a follow-up appointment with me.
Хорошо, я всё понял. Если через две недели не станет лучше, я обязательно запишусь на приём снова.
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.
