Full transcript
Thanks for coming in today, Priyantha. We have a casual picking role at the Coles distribution centre in Truganina. Do you currently hold a valid forklift licence?
මට වලංගු ෆෝක්ලිෆ්ට් බලපත්රයක් නැහැ, නමුත් මට වසර දෙකක ගබඩා පළපුරුද්දක් තියෙනවා. ඒක අනිවාර්යද?
That's fine, the forklift licence isn't compulsory for this role. It's a rotating roster, about 38 hours a week, including some night shifts.
හොඳයි. එතකොට වැටුප ගාස්තුව සහ අතිරේක විශ්රාම වැටුප ගැන ටිකක් කියන්න පුළුවන්ද?
Pay follows the award rate, and payslips are issued fortnightly through the company portal. Superannuation is paid on top of your wages.
තේරුණා. මට ස්ථිර පදිංචි බලපත්රයක් තියෙනවා. ආරම්භක දිනය කවදාද කියලා කියන්න පුළුවන්ද?
Good, since you have permanent residency, there's no restriction on your hours. You can start Monday, the ninth of March.
එතකොට හොඳයි! බස් නැවතුමක් අවට තියෙනවද, එහෙමත් නැත්නම් වෙනත් මාර්ගයකින් යන්න වෙයිද?
There's a bus stop two hundred metres from the site, plus free onsite parking. You'll also need to complete an online induction beforehand.
ඒ ඔන්ලයින් පුහුණුවට කොපමණ වේලාවක් ගතවෙයිද? මට එය අද පස්සේම කරන්න පුළුවන්ද?
It takes about two hours and must be finished before your first shift. I'll send the link once we confirm your placement today.
ස්තූතියි! මම අද රාත්රියේම ඒක සම්පූර්ණ කරලා, සඳුදා වැඩට එන්නම්.
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.
- superannuationවිභාගයේදී 'superannuation' යන ඉංග්රීසි වචනයම භාවිත කරන්න, අවශ්ය නම් 'විශ්රාම අරමුදල' කියා කෙටියෙන් පැහැදිලි කළ හැක.
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.
