Full transcript
Mr. Fernando, the X-ray shows your lower right molar has a deep infection reaching the nerve. When did the pain start?
දෙතුන් දවසක ඉඳන් වේදනාව තියෙනවා. රාත්රියේ නම් ගොඩක් අමාරුයි, මම පැනඩෝල් ටිකක් ගත්තා.
Without a root canal, this tooth will likely need extraction within a few weeks. Are you happy to proceed today, or would you like more time?
මේකට කීයක් යනවද? මට වාරිකවලින් ගෙවන්න පුළුවන්ද?
The root canal costs six hundred and eighty dollars, and can be paid in two instalments. If complications arise afterwards, Bendigo Health's emergency department can assist you.
හරි, මම කැමතියි කරන්න. ප්රතිජීවක බේත් කවදා ඉඳන් ගන්න ඕනද?
I'll prescribe antibiotics to take before Thursday's appointment. The procedure itself takes about forty-five minutes under local anaesthetic, and you can drive yourself home afterwards.
බ්රහස්පතින්දා මට හොඳයි. මට රස්සාවෙන් නිවාඩු ගන්න ඕනද, කොච්චර වෙලාවක් ලැගිය යුතුද?
Rest for the remainder of the day and avoid hot or hard foods. Please come back for a review in one week.
ශල්යකර්මයෙන් පස්සේ වේදනාව වැඩි වුනොත් මං මොනවා කරන්නද?
If you notice swelling, fever, or severe pain, go straight to Bendigo Health's emergency department. Otherwise, call our clinic Monday morning.
තේරුණා, ස්තුතියි. ගැටලුවක් ආවොත් මං හදිසි අංශයට යන්නම්.
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.
- emergency department'හදිසි අනතුරු අංශය' හෝ 'Emergency Department' ලෙසම කීම සුදුසුය; ED කෙටි යෙදුම භාවිතා කළත් වරදක් නැත.
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
