Full transcript
Since our last appointment three weeks ago, have you noticed any change in your sleep, appetite, or mood, Mr Farah?
Waan seexan kari waayay habeenkii dhowr toddobaad ah, oo cuntadaydana ma qaadan sida hore, waxaan dareemayaa niyad jab joogto ah.
I'd like to refer you to a psychologist at Bondi Junction Psychology Centre under a Mental Health Treatment Plan, which covers six sessions this calendar year.
Immisa lacag baan ku bixin doonaa haddii aan booqdo dhakhtarka cilmi-nafsiga ah? Ma jira caymis Medicare ah oo ii daboola?
Medicare provides a rebate for these psychology sessions, so your out-of-pocket cost will be lower, though it won't cover the full fee at every clinic.
Waxaan ka welwelsanahay inaan hawshayda shaqo darteed dhiman karo balamahaas qaarkood, ma noqon doonaa dhibaato haddii aan mid ka maqnaado?
If you happen to miss two sessions in a row, we'll review the plan together, but your six sessions for this year won't be cancelled automatically.
Waa ii fiicnaan lahayd inaan ogaado in qorshahu aanu si toos ah u baabi'in. Goorma ayaan dib u soo booqan karaa?
Let's book a follow-up appointment in four weeks, on a Thursday morning, so we can check how the sessions are going.
Waa fiican tahay Khamiista subaxnimo. Ma jiraan daawooyin la isticmaali karo haddii xaaladdu aanay hagaagin?
We could also consider a low-dose antidepressant if symptoms don't improve after a few sessions, but medication is entirely optional.
Waad ku mahadsantahay sharraxaadda, waxaan si fiican u fahmay qorshaha, waana ku dadaali doonaa inaan dhammaan balamaha ka qaybgalo.
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.
- medicareKu dhawaaq sida ay tahay 'Medicare' - waa magac nooc ah oo aan loo turjumin, sidaas awgeed si toos ah ugu sheeg Soomaaliga.
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.
