Full transcript
Thanks for coming in, Mrs Perera. Since the referral three weeks ago, has Amali been skipping meals, losing weight, or avoiding the family dinner table?
ඇය සති තුනක විතර ඉඳන් උදේ කෑම කන්නේ නැහැ. බර කිලෝ තුනක් විතර අඩු වෙලා තියෙනවා, ඒ වගේම රෑ කෑම වෙලාවට මේසෙට එන්නේත් නැහැ.
Does she exercise excessively, make herself vomit after eating, refuse to eat with the family, or hide food around the house?
ඇය රාත්රියේ පැයක් විතර ව්යායාම කරනවා, ඉඳහිට කෑමෙන් පස්සේ නාන කාමරයට ගිහින් වැඩි වෙලා ඉන්නවා. ආහාර කාමරේ තිබ්බත් සමහර වෙලාවට කන්නේ නැහැ.
I'd like to refer her to the hospital's eating disorder program, run alongside Butterfly Foundation support, with her first appointment this Thursday afternoon.
ඒක හොඳයි ඩොක්ටර්. අපි පුද්ගලික සෞඛ්ය රක්ෂණයක් අරන් නැහැ, මේකට වියදමක් යනවද?
There's no cost if she's referred through her GP under Medicare; private health insurance isn't required for this hospital program at all.
ඒක ලේසි වුණා, ස්තූතියි. පාසැල් යන වෙලාවට මේ සැසි වර්ග වලට යන්න පුළුවන්ද, එයාට පාසැල් මඟහැරෙන්නේ නැද්ද කියලා බයයි.
The plan involves three sessions a week for six weeks, including individual counselling, dietitian reviews, and family therapy sessions together, reviewed every fortnight.
හරි, ඒත් ඇය සමහර වෙලාවට යන්න එකඟ වෙන්නේ නැහැ. එහෙම උනොත් මොකද කරන්නේ?
If she refuses to attend, our team can do home visits instead; we won't force hospital admission unless her health is seriously at risk.
තේරුණා, ගෙදර පැමිණීමක් උදව් වෙයි. ස්තූතියි ඩොක්ටර්, අපි බ්රහස්පතින්දා දෙන්නම එනවා.
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.
- private health insurance"පෞද්ගලික සෞඛ්ය රක්ෂණය" ලෙස කියන්න; අවශ්ය නම් "private health insurance" ලෙසද එකතු 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.
