Thanks for coming in, Mr. Perera. Can you tell me exactly what happened when you paid for your groceries at Woolworths in Hurstville last Friday?

Client

ස්තුතියි. මම සිකුරාදා දින හර්ස්ට්විල් හි වුල්වර්ත්ස් වෙළඳසැලෙන් බඩු ටිකක් ගත්තා, නමුත් ගෙදර ගිහින් බිල්පත බැලුවම මිල ටැගයේ තිබූ මිලට වඩා වැඩි මුදලක් අය කරලා තිබුණා.

SEGMENT 3 · ENGLISH · 24 WORDS
Advisor

Do you still have the receipt with you today, and can you show me exactly where the price tag differs from what was charged?

SEGMENT 4 · SINHALA · 24 WORDS
Client

ඔව්, මගේ ළඟ බිල්පත තියෙනවා. මිල ටැගයේ ඩොලර් දහඅටක් තිබුණත්, බිල්පතේ ඩොලර් විසිහයක් අය කරලා තිබුණා.

You can lodge a complaint with NSW Fair Trading online, attaching a copy of the receipt and a photo of the price tag as evidence.

හොඳයි. නමුත් මට දැන ගන්න ඕන කොච්චර කාලයක් යනවද පිළිතුරක් ලැබෙන්න කලින්?

SEGMENT 7 · ENGLISH · 27 WORDS

There's no fixed legal deadline for a business to respond, but Fair Trading usually follows up with the store within about two weeks if there's no reply.

Client

ඉතින් වෙළඳසැල මුදල් ආපහු ගෙවන්න ප්‍රතික්ෂේප කළොත් මොකද වෙන්නේ?

If the store still refuses after that, you can apply to NCAT, the Civil and Administrative Tribunal, for an order requiring them to refund the difference.

හොඳයි, එහෙනම් මම NCAT එකට අයදුම් කරන්නේ කොහොමද? මට මොනවා ලේඛන අවශ්‍යද?

SEGMENT 11 · ENGLISH · 27 WORDS
Advisor

You'll need the original receipt, a photo of the price tag, and any emails or messages with the store; the application form is on the NCAT website.

තුති, මම ඒ විදිහට කරන්නම්. ඔබට හරිම ස්තුතියි.

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 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.
