Full transcript
Let's take a look at your eyes - you mentioned redness and yellow discharge since Monday morning, is that correct?
Ndiyo, macho yangu yamekuwa mekundu tangu Jumatatu asubuhi, na kuna usaha mweupe unaotoka hasa ninapoamka.
Have you noticed any itching, blurred vision, or pain? Has anyone at home or work had similar red, sticky eyes recently?
Hakuna maumivu makali, lakini macho yanawasha kidogo. Mtoto wangu wa shule pia alikuwa na macho mekundu wiki iliyopita.
I'll take a swab to check for infection. I can't prescribe antibiotic drops myself, but our GP will review the result and decide if you need one.
Sawa, itachukua muda gani kupata matokeo ya kipimo hicho?
Results usually come back within 48 hours. Please avoid touching your eyes, wash your hands often, and stay home from work until then.
Naelewa. Je, mtoto wangu anaweza kwenda shule kesho, au inampasa kubaki nyumbani pia?
He should stay home too if his eyes are still red. Once the GP reviews your swab, they'll send any prescription electronically to your pharmacy.
Asante. Je, huduma hii itanigharimu pesa, au inalipwa kupitia Medicare?
This clinic bulk-bills through Medicare, so there's no out-of-pocket cost today. If your eyes haven't improved in three days, please come back.
Asante sana muuguzi, nitarudi wiki hii kama hali haijawa nzuri.
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.
- medicareTumia neno 'Medicare' kama lilivyo kwa Kiingereza, kwani halina tafsiri rasmi ya Kiswahili.
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.
