1. 1 · GP · English

   Mr Rehman, when did you first notice the redness, itching and swelling in your right eye starting?

   Model interpretation · Urdu

   رحمان صاحب، آپ نے پہلی بار کب محسوس کیا کہ آپ کی دائیں آنکھ میں سرخی، خارش اور سوجن شروع ہو رہی ہے؟

   What an examiner checks (4)

   • addressed as Mr Rehman
   • question: when did you first notice
   • three symptoms: redness, itching, swelling
   • right eye only

   Easy to miss: Three symptoms are listed; candidates often drop 'swelling' or forget it is the right eye.

2. 2 · Patient · Urdu

   ڈاکٹر صاحبہ، دو دن پہلے سے میری آنکھ سرخ ہو گئی ہے اور بہت خارش ہو رہی ہے، صبح اٹھتے وقت پلکیں چپکی ہوئی ہوتی ہیں۔

   Model interpretation · English

   Doctor, my eye has been red since two days ago and it's very itchy, and when I get up in the morning my eyelids are stuck together.

   What an examiner checks (4)

   • since two days ago
   • eye has become red
   • very itchy
   • eyelids stuck together on waking in the morning

   Easy to miss: Keep 'two days', not 'a few days'; the stuck eyelids on waking is a separate detail, not a repeat of the itching.

3. 3 · GP · English

   Is there any yellow or green discharge from the eye? Does it affect only one eye, or has it spread to both? Do you wear contact lenses regularly?

   Model interpretation · Urdu

   کیا آنکھ سے کوئی پیلا یا سبز مادہ نکلتا ہے؟ کیا یہ صرف ایک آنکھ میں ہے یا دونوں آنکھوں تک پھیل گیا ہے؟ کیا آپ باقاعدگی سے کانٹیکٹ لینز لگاتے ہیں؟

   What an examiner checks (3)

   • question: any yellow or green discharge
   • question: only one eye or spread to both
   • question: wears contact lenses regularly

   Easy to miss: Three separate questions must all be kept as questions; 'yellow or green' needs both colours and 'regularly' is easy to drop.

4. 4 · Patient · Urdu

   جی، پیلا رنگ کا مادہ نکلتا ہے اور صرف دائیں آنکھ میں یہ مسئلہ ہے، میں کانٹیکٹ لینز استعمال نہیں کرتا۔

   Model interpretation · English

   Yes, there's a yellowish discharge, and the problem is only in my right eye. I don't use contact lenses.

   What an examiner checks (4)

   • yes, there is discharge
   • discharge is yellow
   • only the right eye affected
   • does NOT use contact lenses

   Easy to miss: The negation 'I don't use contact lenses' must not become a 'yes'.

5. 5 · GP · English

   Based on these symptoms, this looks like acute infective conjunctivitis, which is highly contagious and can spread quickly to others in your household.

   Model interpretation · Urdu

   ان علامات کی بنیاد پر یہ شدید متعدی آشوبِ چشم لگتا ہے، جو بہت تیزی سے لگنے والی بیماری ہے اور آپ کے گھر کے دوسرے لوگوں کو جلدی لگ سکتی ہے۔

   What an examiner checks (4)

   • based on these symptoms
   • looks like acute infective conjunctivitis (tentative diagnosis)
   • highly contagious
   • can spread quickly to others in the household

   Easy to miss: 'This looks like' is tentative; don't turn it into a confirmed diagnosis, and render conjunctivitis as آشوبِ چشم, not just 'eye problem'.

6. 6 · Patient · Urdu

   اچھا، کیا یہ کسی دوا سے ٹھیک ہو جائے گی؟ اور کیا میں کل کام پر جا سکتا ہوں؟

   Model interpretation · English

   Okay, will this get better with some medicine? And can I go to work tomorrow?

   What an examiner checks (3)

   • question: will it get better with medicine
   • question: can I go to work
   • tomorrow

   Easy to miss: Two questions; 'tomorrow' is specific and often dropped or turned into 'soon'.

7. 7 · GP · English

   I'll prescribe antibiotic eye drops, four times daily for one week. Please stay off work for three days unless your symptoms improve sooner.

   Model interpretation · Urdu

   میں آپ کو اینٹی بائیوٹک آئی ڈراپس لکھ دیتی ہوں، دن میں چار بار، ایک ہفتے تک۔ برائے مہربانی تین دن کام سے چھٹی کریں، جب تک کہ آپ کی علامات اس سے پہلے بہتر نہ ہو جائیں۔

   What an examiner checks (5)

   • will prescribe antibiotic eye drops
   • four times daily
   • for one week
   • stay off work for three days
   • unless symptoms improve sooner

   Easy to miss: Three numbers (4 times, 1 week, 3 days) plus the 'unless improve sooner' condition; mixing up the week and the three days is the classic slip.

8. 8 · Patient · Urdu

   دوائی کہاں سے ملے گی اور اس کی قیمت کتنی ہوگی؟ کیا اس کے لیے ڈاکٹر کا ریفرل چاہیے؟

   Model interpretation · English

   Where will I get the medicine from, and how much will it cost? Do I need a doctor's referral for it?

   What an examiner checks (3)

   • question: where to get the medicine
   • question: how much it costs
   • question: is a doctor's referral needed

   Easy to miss: Three questions in one turn; 'referral' must be rendered as the specific term, not 'prescription'.

9. 9 · GP · English

   You can collect the drops today from Chemist Warehouse near Bankstown Central. No referral is needed, and the cost should be quite affordable for you.

   Model interpretation · Urdu

   آپ آج ہی یہ ڈراپس بینکس ٹاؤن سینٹرل کے پاس کیمسٹ ویئرہاؤس سے لے سکتے ہیں۔ کسی ریفرل کی ضرورت نہیں ہے، اور اس کی قیمت آپ کے لیے کافی مناسب ہونی چاہیے۔

   What an examiner checks (5)

   • collect the drops today
   • from Chemist Warehouse
   • near Bankstown Central
   • no referral needed
   • cost should be quite affordable

   Easy to miss: Keep both proper nouns (Chemist Warehouse, Bankstown Central) intact and don't lose the negation 'no referral needed'.

10. 10 · Patient · Urdu

    میرے دو چھوٹے بچے گھر میں ہیں، کیا انہیں بھی یہ بیماری لگ سکتی ہے؟

    Model interpretation · English

    I have two young children at home. Could they catch this illness too?

    What an examiner checks (3)

    • two young children
    • at home
    • question: can they catch it too

    Easy to miss: It is a question, not a statement; keep the number 'two'.

11. 11 · GP · English

    Wash your hands frequently, avoid sharing towels or pillows with your children, and return to the clinic if there's no improvement within five days.

    Model interpretation · Urdu

    اپنے ہاتھ بار بار دھوئیں، بچوں کے ساتھ تولیہ یا تکیہ شیئر کرنے سے گریز کریں، اور اگر پانچ دن میں کوئی بہتری نہ ہو تو دوبارہ کلینک آئیں۔

    What an examiner checks (5)

    • wash hands frequently
    • avoid sharing towels
    • avoid sharing pillows
    • with your children
    • return to clinic if no improvement within five days

    Easy to miss: 'Five days' here is different from the three days off work earlier; and both towels and pillows must be kept.

12. 12 · Patient · Urdu

    شکریہ ڈاکٹر صاحبہ، میں ہاتھ دھوتا رہوں گا اور تولیہ الگ رکھوں گا، اگر بہتری نہ ہوئی تو دوبارہ آؤں گا۔

    Model interpretation · English

    Thank you, Doctor. I'll keep washing my hands and keep my towel separate, and if there's no improvement I'll come back.

    What an examiner checks (4)

    • thanks the doctor
    • will keep washing hands
    • will keep towel separate
    • will return if no improvement

    Easy to miss: He mentions only the towel, not the pillow; don't add it back, and keep the conditional 'if there's no improvement'.
