Full transcript with model answers
Under each segment: a model interpretation, the information points an examiner checks, and the easiest thing to miss. Try the segment yourself first, then open it. The model is one good way to say it; other wordings that keep every point score just as well.
Let's look for the rent receipt in your upload history, Mr Valdés. Did you use myGov to access your Centrelink online account when uploading it?
Model answer and marking points
Vamos a buscar el recibo del alquiler en su historial de documentos subidos, señor Valdés. ¿Accedió a su cuenta en línea de Centrelink a través de myGov cuando lo subió?
What an examiner checks here:
- Rent receipt sought in upload history
- Client addressed as Mr Valdés
- question: used myGov to access Centrelink online account when uploading receipt
Easy to miss: Keep the myGov access question as a question.
Sí, entré en mi cuenta de Centrelink por myGov y lo subí el quince de octubre. Estoy preocupado porque me dijeron que no encontraban el recibo.
Model answer and marking points
Yes, I accessed my Centrelink account through myGov and uploaded it on the fifteenth of October. I'm worried because they told me they couldn't find the receipt.
What an examiner checks here:
- Accessed Centrelink account through myGov
- Uploaded receipt on 15 October
- Worried because told receipt could not be found
Easy to miss: The upload date is 15 October, not the lease start date.
Thank you. Please open the upload history and tell me which category you selected. We can check the receipt without discussing your payment amount.
Model answer and marking points
Gracias. Abra el historial de documentos subidos y dígame qué categoría seleccionó. Podemos revisar el recibo sin hablar del importe de su prestación.
What an examiner checks here:
- Request to open upload history
- Request to identify selected category
- Receipt can be checked without discussing benefit payment amount
Easy to miss: The payment amount refers to the benefit payment, not the rent.
Elegí una categoría relacionada con el empleo por error. El recibo es del alquiler: cuatrocientos treinta dólares por semana. Ya tengo abierto el historial.
Model answer and marking points
I selected an employment-related category by mistake. The receipt is for rent: four hundred and thirty dollars per week. I already have the history open.
What an examiner checks here:
- Selected employment-related category by mistake
- Receipt is for rent
- Rent is $430 per week
- Upload history already open
Easy to miss: Keep the rent amount as $430 per week.
That could explain why it was difficult to find. What date does your lease start, and does the receipt show your name and rental address?
Model answer and marking points
Eso podría explicar por qué fue difícil encontrarlo. ¿En qué fecha empieza su contrato de alquiler y aparecen su nombre y la dirección de la vivienda alquilada en el recibo?
What an examiner checks here:
- Category error could explain difficulty finding receipt
- question: lease start date
- question: receipt shows client's name and rental address
Easy to miss: Ask about the lease start date, not the upload date.
Mi contrato empieza el primero de octubre. Sí, el recibo tiene mi nombre y la dirección de la vivienda. Tengo el contrato aquí también.
Model answer and marking points
My lease starts on the first of October. Yes, the receipt has my name and the address of the property. I have the lease here too.
What an examiner checks here:
- Lease starts on 1 October
- Receipt shows client's name
- Receipt shows rental property address
- Lease also available here
Easy to miss: The lease starts on 1 October, not 15 October.
The lease records your rental arrangement, while the receipt shows a rent payment. Please keep both documents available while we look for the uploaded file.
Model answer and marking points
El contrato deja constancia de las condiciones de su alquiler, mientras que el recibo acredita un pago del alquiler. Tenga ambos documentos a mano mientras buscamos el archivo que subió.
What an examiner checks here:
- Lease records rental arrangement
- Receipt shows a rent payment
- Keep both documents available
- Search is for uploaded file
Easy to miss: Keep the distinct purposes of the lease and receipt clear.
Aquí hay un archivo del quince de octubre, en la categoría de empleo. Al abrirlo, veo el recibo del alquiler. ¿Es este el que buscábamos?
Model answer and marking points
There's a file here from the fifteenth of October, under the employment category. When I open it, I can see the rent receipt. Is this the one we were looking for?
What an examiner checks here:
- File dated 15 October
- File under employment category
- Opening file reveals rent receipt
- question: whether this is the receipt being sought
Easy to miss: The receipt was uploaded under employment, despite being for rent.
Yes, that's the receipt. I'll check its details against your lease now and look at the category error, while you keep the file open.
Model answer and marking points
Sí, ese es el recibo. Ahora voy a comprobar los datos comparándolos con su contrato de alquiler y revisar el error de categoría, mientras usted mantiene el archivo abierto.
What an examiner checks here:
- Confirms this is the receipt
- Will now check receipt details against lease
- Will examine category error
- Client to keep file open
Easy to miss: Checking the category error does not mean it has already been corrected.
De acuerdo, aquí tiene el contrato para compararlo. Me preocupa que parezca que no entregué el recibo. ¿Tengo que volver a subirlo con otra categoría?
Model answer and marking points
All right, here's the lease for you to compare it with. I'm worried it might look as though I didn't submit the receipt. Do I have to upload it again under a different category?
What an examiner checks here:
- Provides lease for comparison
- Worried it may appear receipt was not submitted
- question: must receipt be uploaded again under another category
Easy to miss: The client fears an appearance of non-submission; they do not admit failing to submit it.
No, I've located your receipt and noted the category error. Keep your upload confirmation and lease; that completes our document search for today, Mr Valdés.
Model answer and marking points
No, ya he localizado su recibo y he dejado constancia del error de categoría. Guarde la confirmación de que lo subió y el contrato de alquiler; con eso terminamos la búsqueda de documentos por hoy, señor Valdés.
What an examiner checks here:
- No need to upload receipt again
- Receipt located
- Category error noted
- Keep upload confirmation and lease
- Document search completed for today
Easy to miss: The category error has been noted, not necessarily corrected.
Gracias, señora. Ahora me quedo más tranquilo. Guardaré la confirmación y el contrato, y no volveré a subir el recibo por ahora.

Thank you, ma'am. I feel more reassured now. I'll keep the confirmation and the lease, and I won't upload the receipt again for now.
What an examiner checks here:
- Thanks the female staff member
- Feels more reassured now
- Will keep confirmation and lease
- Will not upload receipt again for now
Easy to miss: Preserve both the negation and the temporary qualifier 'for now'.
