Read it first if you like, then practise it cold: the recording plays one segment, you interpret, the next segment plays. Marking shows, segment by segment, what you kept, left out or changed.
Full transcript with model answers
Under each segment: a model interpretation, the information points an examiner checks, and the easiest thing to miss. Try the segment yourself first, then open it. The model is one good way to say it; other wordings that keep every point score just as well.
Before we arrange your first morning at our Sutherland workplace, could you confirm your start date and arrival time so I can organise reception access?
Model answer and marking points
Прежде чем мы организуем ваш первый приход утром на наше рабочее место в Сазерленде, не могли бы вы подтвердить дату начала работы и время прибытия, чтобы я мог организовать ваш проход через приёмную?
What an examiner checks here:
- First morning at the Sutherland workplace
- question: confirm start date
- question: confirm arrival time
- Details needed to organise reception access
Easy to miss: Keep both the start date and arrival time as details being requested.
Да, я выхожу тридцатого ноября, в восемь тридцать утра. Можно зайти через вход «Би»? Мне сказали, что от станции так ближе.
Model answer and marking points
Yes, I start on the thirtieth of November at eight thirty in the morning. Can I come in through entrance B? I was told it's closer from the station that way.
What an examiner checks here:
- Starts on 30 November
- Arrival at 8:30 am
- question: can use entrance B
- Told entrance B is closer from the station
Easy to miss: The arrival time is 8:30 am, not 8:00 am.

Interpret it aloud now →Yes, entrance B is suitable. Your access card is still being prepared, so please check in at reception instead of entering the work area alone.
Model answer and marking points
Да, вход «Би» подходит. Вашу карту доступа ещё оформляют, поэтому, пожалуйста, сначала отметьтесь на стойке приёмной, а не проходите в рабочую зону самостоятельно.
What an examiner checks here:
- Entrance B is suitable
- Access card is still being prepared
- Must check in at reception
- Must not enter the work area alone
Easy to miss: The access card is not ready, and entering the work area alone is prohibited.
Хорошо, я сначала подойду к стойке. Я раньше в этом здании не работал и пока плохо ориентируюсь. Кто-нибудь меня встретит и проводит дальше?
Model answer and marking points
All right, I'll go to the reception desk first. I haven't worked in this building before and don't know my way around very well yet. Will someone meet me and take me through?
What an examiner checks here:
- Will go to reception first
- Has not worked in this building before
- Does not yet know the building well
- question: will someone meet and escort them
Easy to miss: Not having worked in this building before does not mean never having worked before.
An induction host will meet you at reception and escort you inside. I need to confirm one host before I can give you her name.
Model answer and marking points
Сотрудница, которая будет встречать вас перед вводным инструктажем, встретит вас в приёмной и проводит внутрь. Мне нужно сначала подтвердить, какая именно сотрудница вас встретит, прежде чем я смогу назвать вам её имя.
What an examiner checks here:
- Induction host will meet them at reception
- Host will escort them inside
- One host must be confirmed first
- Female host's name can be given only after confirmation
Easy to miss: The host has not yet been confirmed, so her name cannot yet be provided.
Хорошо, буду ждать подтверждения. А если утром меня никто не встретит, куда обращаться? Я бы не хотел опоздать на вводный инструктаж.
Model answer and marking points
All right, I'll wait for confirmation. If nobody meets me in the morning, who should I contact? I wouldn't want to be late for the induction.
What an examiner checks here:
- Will wait for confirmation
- question: who to contact if nobody meets them in the morning
- Does not want to be late for induction
Easy to miss: Preserve the question about what to do if nobody meets them.
If nobody is waiting, stay in the reception area and call the reception number on your welcome letter. We can contact your host from there.
Model answer and marking points
Если вас никто не будет ждать, оставайтесь в приёмной и позвоните по номеру приёмной, указанному в вашем приветственном письме. Оттуда мы сможем связаться с сотрудницей, которая должна вас встретить.
What an examiner checks here:
- If nobody is waiting, stay in reception
- Call the reception number
- Number is on the welcome letter
- Staff can contact the host from reception
Easy to miss: Call reception using the number in the letter, rather than calling the host directly.
Понятно, номер в письме я видел. Сохраню его в телефоне, чтобы сразу найти. А какие документы нужно взять с собой в первый день?
Model answer and marking points
I see, I saw the number in the letter. I'll save it on my phone so I can find it straight away. What documents do I need to bring on the first day?
What an examiner checks here:
- Has seen the number in the letter
- Will save the number on their phone
- Saving it to find it immediately
- question: which documents to bring on the first day
Easy to miss: Saving the number on the phone is a future action, not something already done.
Please bring photo identification and your welcome letter. Reception will check your details and issue a visitor pass while we finish preparing your access card.
Model answer and marking points
Пожалуйста, возьмите с собой удостоверение личности с фотографией и приветственное письмо. В приёмной проверят ваши данные и выдадут вам пропуск посетителя, пока мы заканчиваем оформление вашей карты доступа.
What an examiner checks here:
- Bring photo identification
- Bring welcome letter
- Reception will check personal details
- Reception will issue a visitor pass
- Visitor pass used while access card preparation is completed
Easy to miss: The temporary document is a visitor pass, not the access card.
Удостоверение с фотографией возьму. Письмо я сохранил в телефоне, но ещё не распечатал. Можно показать его на экране или обязательно нужна бумажная копия?
Model answer and marking points
I'll bring photo ID. I've saved the letter on my phone, but I haven't printed it yet. Can I show it on the screen, or do I have to have a paper copy?
What an examiner checks here:
- Will bring photo ID
- Letter already saved on phone
- Letter has not yet been printed
- question: can show letter on screen or must bring paper copy
Easy to miss: The letter is already saved on the phone but has not been printed.
A copy on your phone is fine. Once the host is confirmed, I'll add her name to your arrival instructions and confirm entrance B again.
Model answer and marking points
Копия на телефоне подойдёт. Как только будет подтверждено, какая сотрудница вас встретит, я добавлю её имя в ваши инструкции по прибытию и ещё раз подтвержу вход «Би».
What an examiner checks here:
- Phone copy is acceptable
- Host must be confirmed first
- Will add female host's name to arrival instructions
- Will confirm entrance B again
Easy to miss: Adding the host's name and reconfirming the entrance will happen after the host is confirmed.
Отлично, тогда распечатывать не буду. Тридцатого ноября в восемь тридцать подойду к стойке у входа «Би» и подожду сотрудницу, которая меня проводит.
Model answer and marking points
Great, then I won't print it out. On the thirtieth of November at eight thirty, I'll go to the reception desk by entrance B and wait for the female staff member who will escort me.
What an examiner checks here:
- Will not print the letter
- Arrival on 30 November
- Arrival at 8:30
- Will go to reception desk by entrance B

Easy to miss: Preserve the decision not to print the letter and the plan to wait at reception.
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 two full dialogues are marked free.
