Full transcript
Thanks for coming in, Mr. Perera. How have you been feeling since our last session two weeks ago, especially with your sleep and anxiety?
මට තවමත් නින්ද අමාරුයි, හිතේ කනස්සල්ලක් තියෙනවා. ඇත්තටම කිව්වොත්, මම බෙහෙත් හැම දිනකම නොගත්තා.
I understand. Sertraline can cause mild side effects like nausea or dizziness at first, but they usually settle within two weeks. Are you taking it at the same time each day?
සමහර වෙලාවට හිස කැරකෙනවා වගේ දැනෙනවා, ඒකයි මම අඩුවෙන් බීලා තියෙන්නේ.
That's helpful to know. I'll book you with the psychiatrist at St Vincent's Hospital in three weeks for a full review of your medication.
හොඳයි, ඒත් ඒ බලන එකට මුදල් ගෙවන්න ඕනද? මට එච්චර මුදල් නැහැ දැනට.
Don't worry, the clinic bulk-bills through Medicare, so there's no out-of-pocket cost for that appointment or your regular check-ups here.
එහෙනම් හොඳයි. මට කාටහරි කතා කරන්න ඕන වෙලාවක් ආවොත් කරන්න පුළුවන් තැනක් තියෙනවද?
You could also try Beyond Blue's online forums, or call Lifeline on 13 11 14 anytime if things feel overwhelming at night.
මගේ පවුලේ අයටත් මේකට සම්බන්ධ වෙන්න පුළුවන්ද? ඔවුන්ටත් තේරුම් ගන්න ඕන කියලා මට හිතෙනවා.
Yes, we can arrange a family session if you'd like some support. Let's book your next appointment for two weeks from today.
ඔව්, මම ඒ දවසේ එන්නම්. ඔබට බොහොම ස්තුතියි උදව්වට.
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.
- Beyond Blue"Beyond Blue" නමම එලෙසින්ම භාවිත කරන්න; අවශ්ය නම් "මානසික සෞඛ්ය ආධාර සේවාවක්" ලෙස කෙටියෙන් පැහැදිලි කළ හැක.
- Lifeline"Lifeline" යන නාමයම එලෙසම පවසන්න; අවශ්ය නම් "Lifeline නම් අර්බුද සහාය සේවාව" ලෙස පැහැදිලි කරන්න.
Practise it
Reading a transcript is not interpreting. The practice room 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. Your first full dialogue is marked free.

How the test works
