Full transcript
Thanks for coming in, Mrs Fernando. Your GP mentioned you've been struggling with anxiety since the car accident in March. Can you tell me how you've been feeling lately?
ඇත්තටම, අනතුරින් පස්සේ මට හරියටම නින්ද යන්නෙම නෑ. පැය දෙකකට වඩා නිදාගන්න බැරි වෙනවා, ඒ වගේම නිතරම බියකරු සිහින මතක් වෙනවා.
That sounds really distressing. Have you been able to go to work, or has the anxiety stopped you from your daily routine?
නෑ, මට රස්සාවට යන්න බැරි වුණා. සති දෙකක් තිස්සේ මං වැඩට ගියේ නෑ, හිතට කිසිම සන්සුන්කමක් නෑ.
We can set up a structured counselling plan, meeting weekly, and if you feel unsafe at any point, you can contact Lifeline immediately.
හරි, ඒක හොඳයි. ඒත් මට බය හිතෙනවා, මං තනියම ඉන්නකොට දේවල් නරක අතට හැරෙනවා නම් මොකද කරන්නේ?
We can arrange six sessions over the next two months, and if things get worse before then, please call Lifeline any time, day or night.
හොඳයි, ස්තුතියි. මුල් හමුවීම කවදද පටන් ගන්නෙ? මට වැඩ එකට ආපහු යන්න කලින් සුදානම් වෙන්න ඕන.
Let's book your first session for next Thursday at ten thirty. Please arrive fifteen minutes early to complete some paperwork.
හරි, බ්රහස්පතින්දා උදේ දහයයි තිහට මං එන්නම්. ඒත් ඊළඟ සැසි වලටත් පරිවර්තකයෙක් ලැබෙයිද?
If you ever feel unsafe, you can also call triple zero for emergency help, and we'll arrange an interpreter for every future session.
ඒක ලොකු සහනයක්. උදව් වුණාට ගොඩක් ස්තුතියි, මම වෙලාවට 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.
- lifeline"Lifeline" යන නාමයම එලෙසම පවසන්න; අවශ්ය නම් "Lifeline නම් අර්බුද සහාය සේවාව" ලෙස පැහැදිලි කරන්න.
- triple zero'000' යන අංකයම කියන්න; එය 'triple zero' ලෙස ඉංග්රීසියෙන්ම උච්චාරණය කිරීම වඩාත් සුදුසුය.
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.
