Full transcript

SEGMENT 1 · ENGLISH · 22 WORDS
Solicitor

Mr Sokolov, before we prepare your defence, can you walk me through exactly what happened outside the pub in Cronulla that night?

SEGMENT 2 · RUSSIAN · 34 WORDS
Client

Мы стояли у входа в паб в Кронулле, когда этот мужчина без всякой причины толкнул меня и ударил кулаком в лицо. Я оттолкнул его в ответ, чтобы защититься, и он упал на асфальт.

SEGMENT 3 · ENGLISH · 19 WORDS
Solicitor

Did he strike you first, and were there any witnesses nearby who actually saw him throw that first punch?

SEGMENT 4 · RUSSIAN · 32 WORDS
Client

Свидетелей рядом почти не было, только один охранник видел, как он замахнулся первым. Скажите, если я ударил в ответ, это считается законной самообороной, или меня всё равно могут обвинить?

SEGMENT 5 · ENGLISH · 32 WORDS
Solicitor

Striking back can be lawful self-defence if your response was reasonable and proportionate to the threat; however, if you kept hitting him after he had already stopped, you could still face charges.

SEGMENT 6 · RUSSIAN · 20 WORDS
Client

Понятно, спасибо, что объяснили это так подробно. А когда именно состоится суд, и куда мне нужно приехать?

SEGMENT 7 · ENGLISH · 21 WORDS
Solicitor

Your matter is listed for Thursday the twelfth of March at Sutherland Local Court, sitting at nine thirty in the morning.

SEGMENT 8 · RUSSIAN · 18 WORDS
Client

Хорошо, я запишу дату и время. Скажите, мне нужно взять с собой что-то ещё, кроме документов?

SEGMENT 9 · ENGLISH · 23 WORDS
Solicitor

Besides your documents, bring photo ID, arrive thirty minutes early, and dress neatly; no thongs or singlets are permitted inside the courtroom today.

SEGMENT 10 · RUSSIAN · 20 WORDS
Client

Понял, оденусь соответствующе и приеду пораньше. А что с записями камер видеонаблюдения из паба — вы уже их запросили?

SEGMENT 11 · ENGLISH · 21 WORDS
Solicitor

I've already requested the pub's CCTV footage; if it clearly shows him striking first, that will strengthen your self-defence argument considerably.

SEGMENT 12 · RUSSIAN · 16 WORDS
Client

Спасибо большое, это действительно обнадёживает. Буду ждать вашего звонка с дальнейшими подробностями перед заседанием.

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.
