Full transcript
Mr. Mwangi, before we start today, can you tell me exactly when this chest tightness usually comes on and how long it typically lasts?
Daktari, maumivu yanakuja ninapopanda ngazi haraka au kutembea mwendo wa kasi mlimani. Yanadumu kama dakika tano na yanapungua ninapopumzika.
Does the pain ever spread to your arm, shoulder, or jaw, and have you ever collapsed or lost consciousness during an episode?
Sijawahi kupoteza fahamu, lakini mara nyingine maumivu yanaenea hadi mkono wangu wa kushoto na wakati mwingine hata shavu la kushoto.
We'll book you for a stress test at Prince of Wales Hospital next Thursday morning, and please arrive by nine thirty.
Je, nitahitaji kufunga chakula kabla ya kipimo hicho? Kama ndiyo, ni kwa muda gani hasa?
Yes, please fast for eight hours beforehand, avoid caffeine, and don't take your morning blood pressure tablets until after the test.
Sawa, nitafunga kama ulivyoshauri. Je, kuna dawa ninayoweza kubeba nami endapo maumivu yatanijia nje ya nyumba?
I'll prescribe a GTN spray for you. Use it under your tongue if the pain lasts longer than ten minutes, and call triple zero if it doesn't ease.
Nimesikia dawa hiyo inaweza kusababisha maumivu ya kichwa. Je, hali hiyo ni ya kawaida na itapita yenyewe?
A mild headache is fairly common and should pass quickly. If your lips turn blue or you feel faint, seek emergency care immediately.
Nashukuru sana kwa maelezo, daktari. Nitakuwa tayari kwa kipimo Alhamisi asubuhi na nitabeba dawa hiyo popote nitakapokwenda.
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.
- triple zeroSema 'namba 000' au 'triple zero' kama ilivyo, ukieleza ni namba ya dharura ya Australia.
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.
