Full transcript
Thanks for coming in, Sofia. Before we start today, I wanted to check in on how you've been feeling since our last session two weeks ago, especially with sleep.
Pues la verdad es que he tenido bastante ansiedad, sobre todo por las noches. No he podido dormir bien casi ninguna noche esta semana.
That's understandable, Sofia. Let's practise the breathing technique again together - it can really help calm your mind before bed when your thoughts start racing at night.
Sí, lo he intentado, pero a veces se me olvida hacerlo antes de acostarme. ¿Podría explicarme otra vez los pasos, por favor?
I'd like to book your next appointment for next Thursday at eleven o'clock in the morning, if that time still suits your schedule.
Muchas gracias. ¿Podríamos empezar un poco más tarde, tal vez a las once y media? Tengo que dejar a mi hijo en la guardería primero.
Of course, eleven-thirty works perfectly well too, Sofia - I'll change it in the system now so it doesn't clash with dropping your son at the crèche.
Perfecto, muchísimas gracias por el cambio. Así podré llegar sin prisas y sin dejar a mi hijo esperando en la guardería.
Good news - under your current Medicare mental health care plan, this session and the next one will not incur any additional gap fee at all.
Qué alivio escuchar eso, porque el dinero ha estado bastante ajustado últimamente y no quería preocuparme también por el costo.
If anything feels overwhelming before we meet again, remember Lifeline is available any time, day or night, completely free of charge.
Se lo agradezco mucho. Guardaré el número de Lifeline por si acaso, aunque espero no necesitarlo antes de la próxima cita.
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.
- medicareSe deja tal cual, 'Medicare', ya que es un nombre propio de un programa australiano sin equivalente en países hispanohablantes.
- mental health care planSe traduce como 'plan de atención de salud mental' o se explica como 'un plan del médico para acceder a sesiones de salud mental cubiertas por Medicare'.
- gap feeSe traduce como 'costo adicional' o se explica como 'la diferencia que paga el paciente'.
- lifelineSe mantiene como 'Lifeline', puede añadirse una breve explicación como 'la línea de ayuda en crisis'.
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.
