Full transcript
Mr Juma, before we continue, can you describe how long you've been experiencing these headaches, how often they occur each week, and whether they've been getting worse?
Nimekuwa na maumivu ya kichwa kwa muda wa wiki tatu sasa, yanatokea karibu mara nne kwa wiki, na kwa kweli yanazidi kuwa makali zaidi siku hadi siku.
Do you notice anything that seems to bring them on, such as bright light, loud noise, stress at work, or not getting enough sleep at night?
Ndiyo, mwanga mkali huyachochea, na pia nikikosa usingizi wa kutosha usiku, maumivu huwa makali zaidi kesho yake asubuhi.
Given how often these headaches are happening, I'd like to send you for a CT scan at Bendigo Health, just to rule out anything more serious.
Je, uchunguzi huo utahitaji nilipe gharama kubwa, au utafanyika lini haswa? Nina wasiwasi kidogo kuhusu jambo hilo.
The scan is bulk-billed through Medicare, so it won't cost you anything, and the clinic can fit you in this Thursday morning at nine-thirty.
Asante Mungu, hilo ni nafuu kubwa kwa sababu sina bima ya ziada. Nitajipanga kuwepo Alhamisi asubuhi saa tatu na nusu.
In the meantime, take paracetamol every six hours if the pain returns, but don't take more than four doses within twenty-four hours.
Nimeelewa, nitatumia dawa hiyo kila baada ya saa sita ikiwa maumivu yatarudi, lakini je, naweza kuendelea kufanya kazi wakati huu?
You can keep working as usual, but if the headache suddenly becomes very severe or you notice blurred vision, go to the emergency department immediately.
Asante daktari, nitafanya hivyo. Nikiwa na maumivu makali ghafla au macho kuona hafifu, nitaenda moja kwa moja hospitalini.
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.
- emergency departmentSema 'idara ya dharura hospitalini' au 'chumba cha dharura'.
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.
