Full transcript
Mr. Fernando, thanks for coming in today. I've reviewed the scan from Wollongong Hospital — your forearm scar has healed but it's causing tightness. This can restrict movement in your wrist, correct?
ඔව් ඩොක්ටර්, මගේ මැහුම වුණ තැන තදවෙලා තියෙනවා, අත දිග කරන්න බැරි වගේ දැනෙනවා. කම්හලේ යන්ත්රයෙන් තුවාල වුණාට පස්සේ මෙහෙම වෙලා.
Since this was a workplace injury, icare NSW should cover the surgery and rehabilitation costs, not Medicare. I'll need your claim number to confirm coverage.
හොඳයි ඩොක්ටර්, මගේ ක්ලේම් අංකය හත හත හතර දෙක තුන් එක. සැත්කමෙන් පස්සේ සුවය ලබන්න කොච්චර කාලයක් යනවද?
Recovery typically takes about six weeks, provided there's no infection. You'll need physiotherapy twice weekly, and we can schedule the surgery for the third of March.
හරි ඩොක්ටර්, මාර්තු තුන්වෙනිදා හොඳයි. නමුත් සැත්කමේ අවදානම් මොනවද? මම එකඟතා පත්රයට අත්සන් කරන්න ඕනද අද?
There's a small risk of scarring or infection, but it's rare. You don't need to sign today — take the form home and read it first.
හොඳයි, ස්තුතියි ඩොක්ටර්. මම එය කියවලා ගෙදර ඉඳලා අත්සන් කරන්නම්. සැත්කමෙන් පස්සේ රස්සාවට යන්න බැරි කාලයට සහතිකයක් ලබා දෙන්නද?
Yes, I'll provide a medical certificate for icare NSW, covering four weeks off work. Please don't lift anything heavy during that time.
තේරුණා ඩොක්ටර්. සැත්කමෙන් පස්සේ පරණ කැපුම් සලකුණ මුළුමනින්ම නැති වෙයිද, නැත්නම් ටිකක් තිබෙයිද?
The scar will be less noticeable but not completely invisible. Overall function and appearance should improve significantly within three months.
තේරුණා ඩොක්ටර්, ඒක ප්රමාණවත්. ඔබට බොහොම ස්තුතියි, මම මාර්තු තුන්වෙනිදාට 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.
- medicareවිභාගයේදී 'Medicare' යන ඉංග්රීසි වචනයම එලෙසම භාවිතා කරන්න; සිංහලෙන් වෙනම නමක් නොමැත.
- medical certificate"Medical certificate" යන ඉංග්රීසි යෙදුමම එලෙසම පවසන්න, නොඑසේ නම් කෙටියෙන් "වෛද්ය සහතිකය" ලෙස පවසන්න.
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.
