SEGMENT 1 · ENGLISH · 27 WORDS
Physiotherapist

Thanks for coming in today, Mr. Perera. Tell me how your back has been since you strained it lifting boxes at the Coles warehouse last Thursday afternoon.

SEGMENT 2 · SINHALA · 28 WORDS
Patient

ඔව් වෛද්‍යතුමියෙනි, බ්‍රහස්පතින්දා දින කොලීස් ගබඩාවේදී පෙට්ටි ඔසවනකොට මගේ පහළ පිටේ තියුණු වේදනාවක් ඇති වුණා. දැනටත් නැමෙන්න බැහැ.

SEGMENT 3 · ENGLISH · 21 WORDS
Physiotherapist

On a scale of zero to ten, how strong is the pain right now, and does it spread down either leg?

SEGMENT 4 · SINHALA · 24 WORDS
Patient

වේදනාව හතක් විතර තියෙනවා දහයෙන්. දකුණු කකුලට පහළට කැක්කුමක් වගේ දැනීමක් එනවා, විශේෂයෙන් වාඩිවෙලා ඉන්නකොට.

SEGMENT 5 · ENGLISH · 23 WORDS
Physiotherapist

The muscles around your lower spine are strained, not fractured. I'll start you on physiotherapy twice a week for the next four weeks.

SEGMENT 6 · SINHALA · 19 WORDS
Patient

එහෙනම් මට ආයෙත් වැඩට යන්න පුළුවන්ද? මගේ රස්සාව ගැන මට හරිම කනගාටුවක් තියෙනවා.

SEGMENT 7 · ENGLISH · 22 WORDS
Physiotherapist

You can return to light duties only—no lifting over five kilograms, no bending—for two weeks, then we'll reassess at your next visit.

SEGMENT 8 · SINHALA · 17 WORDS
Patient

බෙහෙත් ගැන ඇහුවොත්, කිසියම් අතුරු ආබාධ තියෙනවද? මම වාහනේ පදින නිසා අහන්නේ.

SEGMENT 9 · ENGLISH · 24 WORDS
Physiotherapist

Take the anti-inflammatory tablets with food, avoid driving if you feel drowsy, and go straight to Wollongong Hospital emergency if the pain suddenly worsens.

SEGMENT 10 · SINHALA · 16 WORDS
Patient

MRI එකක් ඕන වෙයිද? ඒකට කීයක් වැය වෙයිද කියලා මට බයක් තියෙනවා.

SEGMENT 11 · ENGLISH · 22 WORDS
Physiotherapist

If there's no improvement within two weeks, I'll refer you for an MRI at the hospital—you won't need to pay anything upfront.

SEGMENT 12 · SINHALA · 14 WORDS
Patient

තේරුණා, බොහොම ස්තූතියි. එහෙනම් මම ලබන බ්‍රහස්පතින්දා ආයෙත් එන්නම්.

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.
