Seeking Advice Before Changing a Bail Address
Duty solicitor (speaking English) and Adult on bail (speaking Yoruba) talk through “Seeking Advice Before Changing a Bail Address”. You interpret both ways — English into Yoruba, and Yoruba into English — one segment at a time, exactly as in the CCL test.

Under each segment: a model interpretation, the information points an examiner checks, and the easiest thing to miss. Try the segment yourself first, then open it. The model is one good way to say it; other wordings that keep every point score just as well.
Ms Akinyemi, please show me your bail papers. Tell me what you need advice about today, so I can check the relevant conditions with you.
Model answer and marking points
Arábìnrin Akinyemi, ẹ jọ̀ọ́, ẹ fi àwọn ìwé ìdáǹdè yín hàn mí. Ẹ sọ ohun tí ẹ fẹ́ gba ìmọ̀ràn lé lórí lónìí fún mi, kí n lè bá yín yẹ àwọn àdéhùn tó bá ọ̀ràn náà mu wò.
What an examiner checks here:
- Ms Akinyemi addressed
- Request to show bail papers
- Request to explain advice needed today
- Purpose is to check relevant bail conditions together
Easy to miss: Bail papers are documents about conditional release, not documents granting complete freedom.
Ẹ wo ìwé náà. Ìlànà kan ṣoṣo ló wà nípa ibi tí mo gbọ́dọ̀ gbé. Mo fẹ́ mọ ohun tí mo gbọ́dọ̀ ṣe kí n tó kó lọ sí ilé míì.
Model answer and marking points
Please look at the document. There is only one condition about where I must live. I want to know what I have to do before I move to another home.
What an examiner checks here:
- Requests that the document be examined
- Only one condition about place of residence
- Must live at a specified place
- Wants to know required steps before moving
Easy to miss: Only one refers to the residence condition, not necessarily all bail conditions.
This condition requires you to live at your current address. What date are you hoping to move, and when must you next attend court?
Model answer and marking points
Àdéhùn yìí sọ pé ẹ gbọ́dọ̀ máa gbé ní àdírẹ́sì yín lọ́wọ́lọ́wọ́. Ọjọ́ wo lẹ ń retí láti kó lọ, ìgbà wo sì lẹ tún ní láti lọ sí kóòtù?
What an examiner checks here:
- Condition requires residence at current address
- question: intended moving date
- question: next required court appearance
Easy to miss: Keep both dates as questions and preserve that court attendance is required.
Ọjọ́ kejì oṣù kọkànlá ni mo fẹ́ kó lọ. Ọjọ́ kẹrìnlélógún oṣù kọkànlá sì ni mo ní láti lọ sí kóòtù.
Model answer and marking points
I want to move on 2 November. I have to attend court on 24 November.
What an examiner checks here:
- Intended move on 2 November
- Required court attendance on 24 November
- Both dates are in November
Easy to miss: Kẹrìnlélógún means twenty-four, so the court date is 24 November.
We should seek a change before you move. Your next court date does not itself give you permission to live somewhere else in the meantime.
Model answer and marking points
Ó yẹ ká béèrè pé kí wọ́n yí àdéhùn náà padà kí ẹ tó kó lọ. Ọjọ́ tí ẹ ó tún lọ sí kóòtù fúnra rẹ̀ kò fún yín ní àṣẹ láti máa gbé ní ibòmíràn láàárín àkókò yìí.
What an examiner checks here:
- Should seek a condition change before moving
- Next court date does not itself grant permission
- No permission to live elsewhere in the meantime
Easy to miss: Having a future court date does not authorise an address change before that date.
Ó yé mi. Ṣé mo lè béèrè fún àtúnṣe náà báyìí? Mi ò fẹ́ dúró di ọjọ́ kóòtù, torí ọjọ́ tí mo fẹ́ kó lọ máa dé ṣáájú.
Model answer and marking points
I understand. Can I request the change now? I don't want to wait until the court date because my intended moving date comes before then.
What an examiner checks here:
- Understands the explanation
- question: can the change be requested now
- Does not want to wait until court date
- Intended move is before court date
Easy to miss: The speaker asks to request a change now, not for permission to move immediately.
Yes, we can prepare an application now, before your next court date; the court decides. Bring the proposed address and written confirmation you can stay there.
Model answer and marking points
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni, a lè pèsè ìwé ìbéèrè náà báyìí, kí ọjọ́ tí ẹ ó tún lọ sí kóòtù tó dé; kóòtù ló máa pinnu. Ẹ mú àdírẹ́sì ibi tí ẹ fẹ́ kó lọ wá, àti ìwé tó fi dá a lójú pé ẹ lè gbé níbẹ̀.
What an examiner checks here:
- Application can be prepared now
- Before next court date
- Court makes the decision
- Bring proposed address
- Bring written confirmation of permission to stay there
Easy to miss: Preparing an application does not mean the court has approved the change.
Ọmọbìnrin mi ni mo fẹ́ lọ gbé lọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀ ní Woy Woy. Màá mú àdírẹ́sì rẹ̀ wá, màá sì ní kó kọ̀wé pé mo lè gbé lọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀.
Model answer and marking points
I want to go and live with my daughter in Woy Woy. I'll bring her address and ask her to put in writing that I can live with her.
What an examiner checks here:
- Plans to live with daughter
- Daughter lives in Woy Woy
- Will bring daughter's address
- Will ask daughter for written confirmation
- Confirmation that speaker can live with daughter
Easy to miss: The daughter will provide written confirmation; the speaker is not merely giving verbal assurance.

What an examiner checks here:

Model answer and marking points
Thank you. I'll ask the Gosford Local Court registry staff about how to lodge the paperwork. But I'll get advice from you about what I should do.
What an examiner checks here:
- Thanks the adviser
- Will ask Gosford Local Court registry staff
- Enquiry concerns lodging paperwork
- Will obtain advice from the adviser
- Advice concerns what the speaker should do
Easy to miss: The registry is the source of filing information, while the adviser is the source of advice on what to do.
Until the condition is formally changed, keep living at the approved address. If your accommodation becomes unavailable, contact a solicitor promptly for advice before moving.
Model answer and marking points

What an examiner checks here:
- Continue living at approved address
- Until condition is formally changed
- If current accommodation becomes unavailable
- Contact a solicitor promptly
- Seek advice before moving
Easy to miss: Losing accommodation triggers prompt legal advice before moving, not automatic permission to move.
Ó dáa. Màá ṣì máa gbé ní àdírẹ́sì tí wọ́n fọwọ́ sí. Tí mo bá rí i pé mi ò lè dúró níbẹ̀ mọ́, màá kàn sí agbẹjọ́rò kí n tó kó lọ.
Model answer and marking points
All right. I'll keep living at the approved address. If I find that I can no longer stay there, I'll contact a solicitor before I move.
What an examiner checks here:
- Agrees to continue at approved address
- If unable to stay there any longer
- Will contact a solicitor
- Contact will be before moving
Easy to miss: The commitment is to contact a solicitor before moving, not after leaving.
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.
