Full transcript
Can you tell me exactly when your son's breathing first became difficult tonight, and has he had any fever, cough, or chest tightness along with it?
Cháu bắt đầu thở khò khè từ khoảng ba giờ sáng, không sốt nhưng ho nhiều và ngực co thắt lại.
Has he used his blue reliever puffer at all today, and if so, how many puffs did you give him and how often?
Tôi đã cho cháu xịt hai nhát Ventolin lúc bốn giờ sáng, nhưng cháu vẫn thở gấp nên tôi đưa cháu đến đây.
Does he have any known allergies we should be aware of, and has he been formally diagnosed with asthma before, or is this his first episode?
Cháu được chẩn đoán hen suyễn cách đây một năm, và cháu bị dị ứng với lông mèo.
We'll start him on a nebuliser with oxygen now; if his oxygen levels don't improve within twenty minutes, we may need to admit him overnight.
Việc này có đau không, và liệu cháu có bị tác dụng phụ gì không?
The nebuliser is painless; some children feel a little shaky or their heart beats faster, but this settles quickly.
Vậy sau khi xuất viện, chúng tôi cần làm gì tiếp theo để cháu không bị lên cơn nữa?
Please see your GP within three days to update his asthma action plan, and Asthma Australia's website has good resources for managing triggers at home.
Cảm ơn bác sĩ, tôi sẽ đưa cháu đi tái khám và làm theo kế hoạch điều trị.

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.
