Full transcript

SEGMENT 1 · ENGLISH · 24 WORDS
Officer

Thanks for calling NSW Fair Trading. Can you tell me what happened with your recent online purchase, and roughly when you bought it?

SEGMENT 2 · SINHALA · 34 WORDS
Client

මම මාසයකට කලින් 'Kogan' වෙබ් අඩවියෙන් බ්ලෙන්ඩරයක් ඩොලර් එකසිය අසූ නවයකට මිලදී ගත්තා. ඒක ආවේ බිඳුනු පියනකින්, විකුණුම්කරු පණිවිඩවලට උත්තර දෙන්නේ නැහැ.

SEGMENT 3 · ENGLISH · 22 WORDS
Officer

Have you contacted the seller directly about the fault? If so, how many times, and through what method did you reach them?

SEGMENT 4 · SINHALA · 13 WORDS
Client

ඔව්, මම විද්‍යුත් තැපෑලෙන් තුන් වතාවක් ලිව්වා, නමුත් කිසිම පිළිතුරක් ලැබුනේ නැහැ.

SEGMENT 5 · ENGLISH · 25 WORDS
Officer

Since the seller hasn't replied at all, you can lodge a formal complaint with NSW Fair Trading, and we'll attempt mediation between you and them.

SEGMENT 6 · SINHALA · 11 WORDS
Client

හොඳයි, ස්තූතියි. පැමිණිල්ල ගොනු කළාට පස්සේ මොකද වෙන්නේ?

SEGMENT 7 · ENGLISH · 24 WORDS
Officer

We'll contact the seller on your behalf and try to negotiate a repair, replacement or refund, without needing to go straight to a tribunal.

SEGMENT 8 · SINHALA · 15 WORDS
Client

ඒත් විකුණුම්කරු ඒකටත් උත්තර නොදුන්නොත්, එතකොට මොකද කරන්නේ?

SEGMENT 9 · ENGLISH · 25 WORDS
Officer

If mediation doesn't resolve the matter, you can then apply to NCAT for a formal hearing, and the tribunal can order a refund or replacement.

SEGMENT 10 · SINHALA · 22 WORDS
Client

හරි. ඒකට මුදලක් ගෙවන්න ඕනද? මට මගේ මුළු මුදල, ඩොලර් එකසිය අසූ නවය, ආපහු ලැබෙයිද?

SEGMENT 11 · ENGLISH · 26 WORDS
Officer

Lodging a complaint with Fair Trading doesn't cost anything. If NCAT later orders a refund, you could get the full one hundred and eighty-nine dollars back.

SEGMENT 12 · SINHALA · 11 WORDS
Client

තමුන්ට ගොඩක් ස්තූතියි. මම අද දවසේම මේ පැමිණිල්ල පත්‍රිකාව ගොනු 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.

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
