Full transcript
Thanks for coming in today—your GP referred you because your recent check-up showed a higher BMI and some joint discomfort. Can you tell me more about that?
Да, за последний год я набрала лишний вес, наверное, килограммов десять. Колени очень болят, особенно когда поднимаюсь по лестнице. Я боюсь диабета, потому что у мамы он есть.
Right now you weigh eighty-two kilograms and stand at one hundred and sixty-five centimetres—that gives a BMI of about thirty, which falls into the obese range.
Сейчас я вешу восемьдесят два килограмма при росте сто шестьдесят пять сантиметров. Значит, одной диеты недостаточно? У меня нет денег на абонемент в спортзал.
Diet and physical activity together work best. Diabetes Australia offers free walking groups nearby, and even 30 minutes of brisk walking five days a week helps.
Понятно, но у меня в семье диабет, и я боюсь, что просто диеты будет мало. Может, есть какие-то таблетки, которые помогут быстрее?
Medication isn't usually the first step unless your BMI is above 35 with other health risks. We'll start with diet and activity changes first.
Хорошо, я согласна начать с питания и прогулок. А когда мне нужно сдать анализы крови и прийти на приём снова?
I'll refer you for blood tests through your GP, and we'll review your progress in six weeks. Does that work for you?
Спасибо, шесть недель — это нормально, я успею подготовиться. Записывать, что я ем, каждый день, да?
Great. Please bring a food diary next time, and avoid sugary drinks in the meantime—that alone can make a real difference.
Хорошо, я обязательно куплю блокнот и начну записывать. Спасибо вам большое за помощь и объяснение.
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.
