Full transcript
Thanks for coming in today, Amina. It's been six weeks since our last review — can you tell me how your mood and sleep have been?
Waan ku mahadsanahay, laakiin hurdadaydu ma fiicna. Habeen kasta waxaan soo tooska ah saacadda saddexda subaxnimo, waxaanan aad ugu welwelsanahay walaalkay oo weli ku sugan xerada qaxootiga.
Are you still taking the sertraline fifty milligrams every day, and have you noticed any side effects like nausea or headaches?
Waan qaadanayaa dawada inta badan, laakiin mararka qaarkood waan iloobaa. Wax dhib ah sida lallabo ama madax xanuun kama helin, laakiin weli waan welwelsanahay.
I'd like to refer you to a psychologist at headspace Bankstown for six sessions — these are bulk-billed, so there's no out-of-pocket cost.
Runtii waan ku faraxsanahay, laakiin ma jiri doonaa turjubaan aniga ii adeegsan doona kulamada, sababtoo ah dhibaatooyinkayga qaarkood ma rabo in qoyskaygu ogaado?
Yes, an accredited interpreter through TIS National will be booked for every session, and nothing is shared with your family without your consent.
Taasi way iga qalbi qabowjisay. Haddii aan dareemo inaan ka fiicnaaday, ma joojin karaa dawada?
Please don't stop the medication suddenly without medical advice — if you ever feel unsafe or have thoughts of harming yourself, call triple zero or Lifeline immediately.
Waan fahmay, ma joojin doono dawada iyada oo aan la tashan bukaanka. Goorma ayaan dib u soo booqan karaa?
Let's book your follow-up in four weeks, and I encourage you to join the Wednesday support group at the community centre.
Waad ku mahadsantahay caawimaaddaada. Waxaan ka qaybgeli doonaa kooxda taageerada Arbacada, waanan dib u soo booqan doonaa afar toddobaad kadib.
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.
- TIS NationalKu sheeg magaca Ingiriisiga 'TIS National' isla markaana sharrax in ay tahay adeegga turjumaadda taleefanka ee bilaashka ah.
- Triple ZeroKu dhawaaq 'triple zero' ama sheeg lambarka '000', maadaama ay tahay lambar rasmi ah oo aan la beddeli karin.
- LifelineKu dhawaaq magaca 'Lifeline' si toos ah, maadaama ay tahay magac gaar ah oo hay'ad.
Practise it
Reading a transcript is not interpreting. The practice room 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. Your first full dialogue is marked free.
