Full transcript
What brings you in today, and can you tell me how long you've been experiencing these headaches, and how often they occur?
සති දෙකක් විතර තිස්සේ මට හිසරදයක් තියෙනවා, බොහෝ විට උදේටම පටන් ගන්නවා. උණක් නෑ, ඒත් සමහරවිට ආලෝකය බලද්දී අමාරුයි.
Do you notice any particular triggers, such as stress, poor sleep, dehydration, or spending long hours in front of a screen, before the headaches begin?
මං රාත්රියේ හොඳට නිදාගන්නෙ නෑ, රාත්රී දෙකට විතර පරිගණකයෙන් වැඩ කරනවා. ඒ නිසා ඇති කියලා හිතෙනවා.
Your blood pressure today is 132 over 84, which is within the normal range, and your eye examination doesn't show any signs of pressure or swelling.
එතකොට මේක බරපතල දෙයක්ද? මට බය හිතෙනවා මොකක් හරි බලවත් අවදානමක් ඇතිද කියලා.
I'd like to refer you to a neurologist at Orange Base Hospital, especially if the headaches continue happening more than twice a week or become more severe.
හොඳයි, ස්තුතියි ඩොක්ටර්. මෙඩිකෙයාර් හරහා මේක ආවරණය වෙනවද? මට අමතර මුදලක් ගෙවන්න වෙයිද?
This referral is bulk-billed through Medicare, so you won't need to pay anything out of pocket when you see the specialist next month.
හොඳයි, ඒක සහනයක්. හිසරදය තියෙනකොට මොන පෙති බොන්නද කියලා කියන්න පුළුවන්ද?
In the meantime, take paracetamol as needed, but don't exceed four tablets a day, and come back if things haven't improved within two weeks.
හරි, මම ඒ විදිහටම කරන්නම්. ගොඩක් ස්තුතියි ඔබේ උදව්වට ඩොක්ටර්.
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.
- out of pocket'රෝගියාගේම මුදලින් ගෙවිය යුතු කොටස' ලෙස පැහැදිලි කර කීම සුදුසුය; සමහරවිට 'own pocket ගෙවීම' ලෙසද කිව 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.

How the test works
Practice dialogue written to the CCL specification (two speakers, segments of 35 words or fewer, about 300 words). It is a practice text, not a NAATI test paper, and the AI score is this site's estimate, not a NAATI result. All Sinhala dialogues · All languages
