Full transcript
Can you tell me what's going on with your ear today, and exactly when the blocked feeling started?
У мене праве вухо заклало ще з понеділка, звук наче приглушений, і трохи болить, коли натискаю на нього.
I've had a look, and your ear canal is blocked with a build-up of wax, but there's no infection or damage to the eardrum.
Зрозуміло. А що мені тепер робити, щоб прибрати цей нальот?
Use three drops of olive oil in that ear each night for three nights — it will soften the wax before we remove it.
Добре, куплю оливкову олію сьогодні ж. А коли мені прийти на видалення воску?
Come back next Thursday at ten thirty in the morning. If the wax hasn't softened enough, we'll gently irrigate the canal with warm water.
Дякую. А скільки коштуватиме ця процедура, і чи покриває це Medicare?
This clinic visit isn't covered by Medicare, since audiology consultations like this generally aren't rebatable without a specific referral. It's a private fee of eighty-five dollars.
Розумію. А чи є знижка для пенсіонерів, чи це фіксована ціна?
Yes, pensioners get a ten dollar discount on that fee — just bring your concession card to Bay Street Clinic in Brighton next Thursday morning.
Дякую, я візьму картку і прийду вчасно, на десяту тридцять ранку.
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.
- medicareЗалишити як 'Medicare' англійською, вимовляючи природно в українському мовленні; це власна назва системи, аналогів немає.
- concession cardКажемо «картка на знижки» або «пільгова картка», можна додати «concession card» англійською для точності.
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.
