Full transcript
Are you looking for a story time session for your child? Here at Strathfield Library, we group activities by age so children can join in comfortably.
Vâng, con gái tôi ba tuổi. Cháu thích nghe kể chuyện lắm, nhưng còn nhút nhát vì chưa hiểu nhiều tiếng Anh. Chị cho tôi hỏi nhóm nào phù hợp với cháu?
Your turn — don't read the rest yet. Hear this dialogue at native speed and interpret each segment aloud; AI marks what you kept, left out or changed, segment by segment. Your first full dialogue is marked free.
Interpret it aloud now →Our preschool story time would suit your daughter. Sessions run on Wednesdays at 10:30 am, with stories, songs and simple activities for children and their parents.
Sáng thứ Tư thì tôi đưa cháu đến được. Tôi có cần đặt chỗ trước không chị? Thư viện có buổi kể chuyện bằng cả tiếng Anh lẫn tiếng Việt không?
Each session has 25 places, so please book ahead. The regular program is in English, but we also offer occasional bilingual sessions when suitable storytellers are available.
Vậy khi nào có buổi tiếng Việt tiếp theo ạ? Với lại, hai bố con cùng đến thì tôi đặt một chỗ cho cháu hay phải đặt thêm một chỗ cho tôi nữa?
We haven't scheduled the next Vietnamese session yet. I can show you our events calendar. For the Wednesday program, book one place for your daughter.
Vâng, chị chỉ giúp tôi xem lịch nhé. Trong buổi kể chuyện, tôi có được ngồi cạnh cháu không? Tôi sợ lúc đầu cháu chỉ ngồi nhìn, không chịu hát cùng các bạn.
Please stay with her throughout the session. She can watch quietly at first; joining the singing isn't compulsory. You're welcome to help her understand in Vietnamese.
Thế thì tôi yên tâm rồi. Tôi muốn đặt cho sáng thứ Tư tuần tới. Nếu hôm đó cháu bị ốm thì tôi có thể hủy qua mạng được không chị?
Yes, you can cancel through your booking confirmation if she becomes unwell. That frees the place for another child. Let's open the booking page together.
Cảm ơn chị. Chị hướng dẫn giúp tôi đặt một chỗ cho con gái nhé. Tôi cũng sẽ xem lịch thường xuyên để biết khi nào có buổi kể chuyện song ngữ tiếng Việt.
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.

How the test works
Continue with the NAATI CCL Vietnamese practice test and mock tests.
Practice dialogue written to the CCL specification (two speakers, segments of 35 words or fewer, about 300 words). It is a practice text, not a NAATI test paper, and the AI score is this site's estimate, not a NAATI result. All Vietnamese dialogues · All languages
