Full transcript
Take me through exactly what happened tonight, Mr. Perera — what time did the two men enter your shop, and what did they do first?
සවස හතහමාරට විතර මිනිස්සු දෙන්නෙක් කඩයට ආවා. එයාලගෙන් එකෙක් කවුන්ටරය ළඟට ඇවිත් 'මුදල් දෙන්න' කියලා කෑගැහුවා.
Did either of them show a weapon, threaten you directly, or hurt any of your staff during the robbery?
එයාලගෙන් එකෙක් පිහියක් පෙන්නලා තර්ජනය කළා. කාටවත් තුවාල උනේ නෑ, ඒත් අපි හැමෝම හරිම බයවුණා.
Do you have CCTV covering the counter and entrance area at your Bankstown shop, and has that footage already been saved somewhere safe?
ඔව්, දොරටුවට උඩින් කැමරාවක් තියෙනවා. ඒ පටිගත කිරීම හාඩ් ඩ්රයිව් එකේ තියෙනවා, මට ඒක පොලීසියට දෙන්න පුළුවන්.
I'll record this as an armed robbery incident, Mr. Perera, and issue you an official event number to give your insurance company.
ඒ event number එක ප්රමාණවත්ද insurance claim එකට, නැත්නම් වෙන කිසිම ලේඛනයක් ඕනද?
The event number alone is usually sufficient for your claim; we can't guarantee exact review times, but we'll be in touch once the CCTV footage has been examined.
මට තව ආරක්ෂිත විදිහට මොනවා හරි කරන්න ඕනද? උදාහරණයක් විදිහට shutter එකක් හරි alarm එකක් හරි දාන්න ඕනද?
You could also contact Bankstown Council or a licensed locksmith about extra security measures; a general safety assessment usually doesn't cost anything.
ඒක හොඳයි, ස්තුතියි නිලධාරි මහත්මියේ. ඔයාලා මේක ඉක්මනට බැලුවට මට ටිකක් සැනසිල්ලක් දැනෙනවා.
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.
- event number"event number" යන ඉංග්රීසි යෙදුමම එලෙසම භාවිතා කරන්න; අවශ්ය නම් "සිද්ධි වාර්තා අංකය" ලෙස කෙටියෙන් පැහැදිලි කළ හැක.
Practise it
Reading a transcript is not interpreting. The free daily dialogue 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.
