Full transcript

SEGMENT 1 · ENGLISH · 22 WORDS
Ophthalmologist

Khun Suwannee, your examination today shows early cataracts developing in both eyes, especially your left eye, which is affecting your vision more.

SEGMENT 2 · THAI · 14 WORDS
Patient

หมอคะ แล้วต้องผ่าตัดเลยไหมคะ หรือว่ารอดูอาการไปก่อนได้ไหมคะ

SEGMENT 3 · ENGLISH · 25 WORDS
Ophthalmologist

We recommend cataract surgery at Bendigo Health, where a specialist removes the cloudy lens and replaces it with a clear artificial one, restoring your sight.

SEGMENT 4 · THAI · 18 WORDS
Patient

เข้าใจแล้วค่ะ แล้วเลนส์เทียมที่ใส่เข้าไปจะอยู่ได้ถาวรเลยไหมคะ มีความเสี่ยงอะไรบ้างไหมคะ

SEGMENT 5 · ENGLISH · 23 WORDS
Ophthalmologist

The procedure is generally very safe, though there's a small risk of infection, swelling, or bleeding, which usually resolves without needing further treatment.

Patient

โอเคค่ะ ถ้างั้นหลังผ่าตัดต้องพักฟื้นนานแค่ไหนคะ แล้วกลับไปทำงานได้เร็วไหมคะ

Most patients recover well within two weeks, though you'll need to avoid heavy lifting, bending, and swimming during that recovery period.

SEGMENT 8 · THAI · 16 WORDS
Patient

เข้าใจค่ะ แล้วค่าใช้จ่ายในการผ่าตัดนี้ประมาณเท่าไหร่คะ มีประกันสุขภาพช่วยไหมคะ

SEGMENT 9 · ENGLISH · 24 WORDS

Medicare covers most of the surgical cost, but if you don't have private health insurance, you may face a longer public hospital waiting list.

SEGMENT 10 · THAI · 20 WORDS
Patient

ดิฉันไม่มีประกันสุขภาพเอกชนค่ะ งั้นคงต้องรอคิวโรงพยาบาลรัฐ แล้วหลังผ่าตัดขับรถได้เลยไหมคะ

SEGMENT 11 · ENGLISH · 25 WORDS
Ophthalmologist

You mustn't drive for at least 24 hours after surgery, so you'll need someone to take you home and stay with you that first night.

SEGMENT 12 · THAI · 16 WORDS
Patient

เข้าใจแล้วค่ะ ดิฉันจะให้ลูกสาวมารับกลับบ้านหลังผ่าตัด ขอบคุณมากค่ะหมอ

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.

Practise it

Reading a transcript is not interpreting. The practice room 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. Your first full dialogue is marked free.
