Full transcript
Since we last spoke two weeks ago, how have you really been coping with the ongoing stress after your husband's sudden redundancy?
සති තුනකට කලින් මගේ ස්වාමිපුරුෂයාට රස්සාව නැති වුණා. ඉන් පස්සේ මට හරියටම නින්ද යන්නේ නැහැ, හැම වෙලාවම කනස්සල්ලෙන් ඉන්නවා.
Are you managing to sleep through the night, and have you noticed any real change in your appetite or energy lately?
නැහැ, මට හරියට කන්නත් බෑ. රෑට නිදාගන්න හදනකොට හිටිවනම අඬන්න පටන් ගන්නවා.
Because you're thirty-four years old, headspace only supports people aged twelve to twenty-five, so instead I'd like to refer you to the Medicare Mental Health Centre in Dandenong.
ඒක නම් හොඳයි. ඒත් මට වියදම දරාගන්න බැරි වෙයි කියලා බය හිතෙනවා. පොඩ්ඩක් ඉන්නත් වෙයිද මට?
There's no fee and no referral required — it's open Monday to Friday, nine till five, and you're welcome to just walk in.
ඒක ලොකු සහනයක්! මට මගේ මහත්තයාවත් එක්ක එන්න පුළුවන්ද?
Yes, they run family sessions as well. I can book you both in for Thursday morning at ten, if that time suits you.
හරි, බ්රහස්පතින්දා උදේ දහයට අපි දෙන්නම එන්නම්. ඒත් මට බෙහෙතක් අවශ්ය වෙයිද කියලා අහන්න ඕන.
Medication decisions belong with your GP, not with me — if the distress hasn't eased within two weeks, please make that appointment soon.
තේරුණා, මම මුලින්ම මගේ ජීපී වෛද්යවරයා හමුවෙන්නම්. ඔබට ස්තූතියි මේ විදිහට උදව් කළාට.
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.
