SEGMENT 1 · ENGLISH · 26 WORDS
Nurse

Thanks for coming in today, Mr. Fernando. Before we start, can you tell me how often you've needed your blue reliever puffer over the past week?

SEGMENT 2 · SINHALA · 20 WORDS
Patient

මේ සතියේ රාත්‍රියේදී මට හුඟක් කැස්ස ආවා, ඒ නිසා මම මේ නිල් පොම්පය දිනකට හය වතාවක් විතර පාවිච්චි කළා.

SEGMENT 3 · ENGLISH · 23 WORDS
Nurse

That does sound like more than usual. Have you noticed anything that seems to trigger it, like dust, cold air, or physical exercise?

SEGMENT 4 · SINHALA · 18 WORDS
Patient

මගේ රස්සාවේ දූවිලි ගොඩක් තියෙනවා, ඒ වගේම උදේට සීතල දිනවල මගේ හුස්ම ගැනීම අමාරු වෙනවා.

SEGMENT 5 · ENGLISH · 23 WORDS
Nurse

I'd like to update your asthma action plan today, and I'll also refer you to Bendigo Health's respiratory clinic for a full review.

SEGMENT 6 · SINHALA · 25 WORDS
Patient

ඒක හොඳයි, නමුත් මට කනගාටුවක් තියෙනවා මොකද රස්සාවෙන් නිවාඩු ගන්න මට අමාරුයි. මොකද්ද ඒ සායනයට යන්න ගතවෙන කාලය සහ මිල ගණන්?

SEGMENT 7 · ENGLISH · 22 WORDS
Nurse

The clinic usually offers an appointment within two weeks, and the visit is bulk-billed as long as you bring your Medicare card.

SEGMENT 8 · SINHALA · 18 WORDS
Patient

හොඳයි, ඒක අහන්න සතුටුයි. ස්පේසර් එකක් කියන්නේ මොකක්ද, ඒක පාවිච්චි කරන්නේ කොහොමද කියලා පෙන්නන්න පුළුවන්ද?

SEGMENT 9 · ENGLISH · 24 WORDS
Nurse

Yes, I'll show you how to use a spacer with your puffer today; it helps more of the medicine reach deep into your lungs.

SEGMENT 10 · SINHALA · 17 WORDS
Patient

ස්ටෙරොයිඩ් ඉන්හේලරය හැම දිනකම පාවිච්චි කරන එක අන්තරාදායකද? මට කිසිම අතුරු ආබාධයක් වෙයිද කියලා බයයි.

SEGMENT 11 · ENGLISH · 22 WORDS
Nurse

It's quite safe when used correctly, but you shouldn't skip your daily steroid inhaler even on days when you're feeling completely fine.

SEGMENT 12 · SINHALA · 18 WORDS
Patient

හරි, තේරුණා. මම හැම දිනකම එය නිතිපතා පාවිච්චි කරන්නම්, ඔබට බොහොම ස්තූතියි මේ විස්තර සියල්ල පැහැදිලි කරදීම ගැන.

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 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.

How the test works
