Full transcript

SEGMENT 1 · ENGLISH · 22 WORDS
Police Officer

Thanks for coming in, Mr Osman. Can you tell me exactly what happened outside Westfield Wollongong around 9:45 pm on Thursday night?

SEGMENT 2 · SOMALI · 40 WORDS
Client

Waxaa dhacay saddex nin oo aniga igu weeraray meesha albaabka Westfield Wollongong, waxayna qaateen taleefankayga iyo boorsadayda lacagta ku jirto. Waxay ahayd qiyaastii sagaal iyo shan iyo afartan habeenkii, Khamiis dhawaad habeenkii dambe.

SEGMENT 3 · ENGLISH · 22 WORDS
Police Officer

Did you get a good look at any of the three men, or notice which direction they ran after taking your things?

SEGMENT 4 · SOMALI · 30 WORDS
Client

Mid ka mid ah wuxuu xidhnaa jaakad madow oo hoodie leh, waxayna u carareen xagga baarkinka baabuurta. Wejigooda si fiican uma arag maadaama ay habeen ahayd.

SEGMENT 5 · ENGLISH · 19 WORDS
Police Officer

That's helpful, thank you. Were you injured at all, or did any of them threaten you with a weapon?

SEGMENT 6 · SOMALI · 34 WORDS
Client

Hub kama arkin, laakiin mid ka mid ah wuu i riixay dhulka, taasoo igu keentay in aan dhulka ku dhaco. Wax dhaawac oo weyn ma qaadan, laakiin gacantayda ayaa xanuunsan.

SEGMENT 7 · ENGLISH · 27 WORDS
Police Officer

I'll record this as a robbery, not simple theft, since force was used against you. Do you know if any nearby shops have CCTV covering that entrance?

SEGMENT 8 · SOMALI · 28 WORDS
Client

Ma ogi haddii ay kaamirooyin leeyihiin dukaannada u dhow, laakiin xarunta iibka Westfield Wollongong guud ahaan waxay leedahay kaamirooyin ilaalin oo ka jira meelo badan.

SEGMENT 9 · ENGLISH · 24 WORDS
Police Officer

Good. We'll request that footage from centre security today. If you locate your phone through Find My iPhone, please don't approach the offenders yourself.

SEGMENT 10 · SOMALI · 26 WORDS
Client

Mahadsanid. Marka warbixintan la buuxiyo, ma jiraa wax faah faahin ah oo aan filan karo, ama ma sugi doonaa inta laga soo xiriirayo?

SEGMENT 11 · ENGLISH · 24 WORDS
Police Officer

I can't promise a fixed timeframe for updates, but you'll be contacted if there's a significant development, and here's your event number for insurance.

SEGMENT 12 · SOMALI · 17 WORDS
Client

Waan ku mahadsanahay caddaynta. Fadlan ii sii lambarka dhacdada si aan ugu isticmaalo sharikada caymiska.

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.

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.
