Full transcript
Tell me what's been happening with your right ear since it started feeling blocked and muffled last week, and whether it's affected your hearing.
ගිය බ්රහස්පතින්දා ඉඳන් මගේ දකුණු කන අවහිර වෙලා තියෙනවා. ශබ්ද මඳක් මොට වගේ ඇහෙනවා, ටිකක් හිරි වගේත් දැනෙනවා.
Is there any pain, discharge, or dizziness, and have you been swimming, flying, or using earplugs recently that might explain this?
වේදනාවක් නෑ, ශ්රාවයක් නෑ, කැරකෙනවා කියලත් නෑ. දෙසතියකට කලින් බෙන්ඩිගෝ පිහිනුම් තටාකයේ පිහිනුවා.
It sounds like earwax buildup. Let me examine your ear canal now with an otoscope to check for blockage or infection.
ශල්යකර්මයක් කරන්න ඕන ද? මට ටිකක් බය හිතෙනවා, කනට හානියක් වේවි කියලා.
No surgery needed at this stage. I'll prescribe softening drops, and if your hearing doesn't improve within a week, we'll refer you to Bendigo Health's ENT clinic.
හොඳයි. ඒ බින්දු කොහොමද දාන්නේ? අතුරු ආබාධ මොනවා හරි තියෙනවද කියලා දැනගන්න ඕන.
Use three drops twice daily for five days, and never insert cotton buds, as they can push the wax further in.
තේරුණා, ස්තූතියි. ඊළඟ පරීක්ෂණයට එන්න ඕන කවදද?
Come back in two weeks for a review; if your hearing hasn't improved by then, we'll arrange an audiologist referral through Medicare.
හොඳයි වෛද්යවරියනි, මම උපදෙස් ටික හරියටම අනුගමනය කරන්නම්.
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.
- medicareවිභාගයේදී 'Medicare' යන ඉංග්රීසි වචනයම එලෙසම භාවිතා කරන්න; සිංහලෙන් වෙනම නමක් නොමැත.
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.
