NAATI CCL Urdu Education & Schooling Practice Dialogues — Worked Examples

Good morning. You've come to enrol your child. Can you tell me the child's year level and age?

بیٹی سات سال کی ہے، جلد آٹھ ہوں گے۔ پچھلے سکول میں دوسری جماعت میں تھی۔ ابھی اس علاقے میں آئے ہیں۔

I see. For enrolment, we'll need a birth certificate, immunisation records, a school report from the previous school, and proof of address. Do you have those with you today?

پیدائش سرٹیفکیٹ اور پتے کا ثبوت ہے۔ حفاظتی ٹیکے کا ریکارڈ پچھلے ڈاکٹر سے منتقل ہو رہا ہے۔ آخری سکول کی رپورٹ دوسری زبان میں ہے۔ مسئلہ ہے؟

The report needs to be translated by a NAATI-accredited translator. I can give you their contact details. We also need her immunisation records before she starts.

یونیفارم کہاں سے ملے گا؟ پچھلے سکول میں ضرورت نہیں تھی۔

You can buy uniforms from the school shop, open Tuesdays and Thursdays from eight-thirty to three. Second-hand uniforms are also available at lower cost.

بیٹی کو انگریزی زیادہ نہیں آتی۔ کوئی مدد دستیاب ہے؟

Yes, we have an EAL/D program — English as an Additional Language or Dialect. A specialist teacher works with your child individually several times a week. It's completely free.

اطمینان ہوا۔ سکول آنے جانے کی بھی فکر ہے۔ سکول بس سروس ہے؟

Yes, there's a bus route that covers this area. You can apply for a bus pass through the school's website. It's free with a school travel card.

شکریہ۔ شروع کرنے کا انتظار ہے۔

Thank you for coming in. I have some concerns about Jamie's behaviour that I'd like to discuss. He's been acting differently lately.

کیا مطلب ہے؟ گھر پر تو کوئی مسئلہ نہیں ہے۔

He's become quite withdrawn in class and his concentration has dropped. He's also been spending more time alone during lunch breaks. It's very different from how he was before.

گھر میں بڑی تبدیلی ہوئی ہے۔ دو ماہ پہلے دادا/دادی کا انتقال ہوا اور اس پر بہت اثر ہوا ہے۔

I'm sorry to hear that. That would explain the change in behaviour. The school has a counsellor who can help him process his grief. I can refer him if you give consent.

بالکل، مددگار ہوگا۔ کیا نمبروں پر اثر ہوا ہے؟

His maths and reading have dropped a little, but that's understandable given the circumstances. I'll put together an individual support plan to help him catch up.

شکریہ۔ اور کچھ کر سکتے ہیں؟

A stable routine at home helps a lot. Reading together, keeping a consistent bedtime, and talking to him about anything that might be worrying him at school. Let's meet again in six weeks.

ہر رات ضرور کریں گے۔ اس کا خیال رکھنے کا شکریہ۔

You're welcome. Jamie is a wonderful boy and everyone likes him. We'll help him through this period. Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any concerns.

شکریہ۔ مشیر کی ملاقات بھی بک کر دیں۔

Welcome. You have an academic counselling appointment. What seems to be the problem?

تین میں سے دو مضامین میں ناکام ہونے والا ہوں۔ باقاعدگی سے نہیں پڑھا اور لگتا ہے مدد مانگنے میں بہت دیر ہو گئی۔

It's never too late. Let's look at your options. How are your grades overall this semester? Have you been submitting your assignments?

زیادہ تر اسائنمنٹ جمع کرائے ہیں، لیکن امتحان کے نتائج خراب رہے۔ مواد سمجھتا ہوں لیکن امتحان میں بیٹھتے ہی گھبراہٹ ہوتی ہے۔

Exam anxiety is very common and can be managed. You can attend a preparation workshop, or access free counselling through the university's wellbeing service.

کس قسم کی خصوصی رعایت؟

Extra time, sitting the exam in a separate room, or permission to take breaks. In your case, you might be allowed rest breaks if you experience panic attacks.

کیا ایک مضمون بغیر جرمانے چھوڑ سکتا ہوں؟ اس سمسٹر تین زیادہ ہو سکتے ہیں۔

The census date has passed, so withdrawal is without fee remission. But with medical evidence, you can apply for late withdrawal without academic penalty.

سنٹر لنک ادائیگیوں پر اثر ہوگا؟ طالب علم الاؤنس پر ہوں۔

As long as you maintain full-time study, Centrelink isn't affected. If you drop a subject, check with Centrelink first to avoid payment issues.

ٹھیک ہے، تینوں رکھوں گا۔ مدد کا شکریہ۔

Thank you for coming in. We've arranged this meeting to discuss your son's learning assessment. I'd like to share what we've observed in the classroom.

تھوڑا گھبرا رہی ہوں۔ کوئی مسئلہ ہے؟

Your son is a bright child, but he's been struggling with written tasks and group instructions. I'd recommend a formal assessment by an educational psychologist to find the most effective way to support him.

مطلب کیا ہے؟ سیکھنے کی معذوری ہے؟

Not necessarily. The assessment is about understanding how your child learns. It identifies areas of strength and areas where support is needed. It's not about labelling — it's about finding the best way to help.

خرچ کتنا ہوگا؟ جائزہ مفت ہے؟

Assessments arranged through the school are free. An educational psychologist comes to the school, observes your child, and conducts tests. There's usually a waiting period of four to six weeks.

اس دوران کوئی مدد؟

Yes, we've already made some adjustments — extra instruction time, use of a computer instead of handwriting, and preferential seating. After the assessment, we'll develop a more comprehensive support plan.

گھر پر کچھ کرنا ہے؟

Read together and build confidence through activities he enjoys. If homework becomes stressful, praise effort rather than perfection. I'll send the consent form for the assessment next week.

سمجھ آ گئی۔ بیٹے کا خیال رکھنے کا شکریہ۔

Welcome to the English language centre. We'll do a placement test to find the right class for your level. Have you studied English before?

اپنے ملک میں تھوڑی پڑھی لیکن اچھی نہیں۔ تھوڑا پڑھ لکھ سکتا ہوں، لیکن بول بالکل نہیں سکتا۔

That's fine. The test measures four skills — reading, writing, listening, and speaking. It takes about forty-five minutes. Don't worry if you can't answer everything.

ٹیسٹ میں خراب ہوا تو واپس بھیج دیں گے؟ سب سے نیچے کی کلاس میں ڈالیں تو شرمندگی ہوگی۔

Absolutely not. This isn't a pass or fail test — it's just about finding the right level for you. Whichever level you start at, you'll progress to higher levels at your own pace.

کلاس کا وقت کیا ہے؟ پہلے بچوں کو سکول چھوڑنا ہے۔

We have daytime and evening classes. The daytime class runs from nine-thirty to twelve-thirty, after school drop-off. Evening classes are twice a week.

خرچ کتنا ہے؟ ابھی مستقل ویزا پر آیا ہوں۔

As a permanent resident, you're entitled to five hundred and ten hours of free English lessons through the Adult Migrant English Program. You need to enrol within six months of arrival.

بہت اچھا! مفت ہوگا توقع نہیں تھی۔

Yes, the Australian Government funds it for eligible migrants. Learning materials are also provided free of charge. Now, let's start the test.

تیار ہوں۔ گھبراہٹ ہے لیکن پوری کوشش کروں گا!

Thank you for coming in. Your daughter has reported being bullied by other students. We take this very seriously and want to resolve it together.

بالکل کیا ہو رہا ہے؟ ہر روز روتی ہوئی گھر آتی ہے اور کہتی ہے سکول نہیں جانا۔

Several students have been making comments about her appearance and took photos of her which they posted on social media with nasty captions.

یہ سائبر بلی ہے! سکول کیا کر رہا ہے؟

We've already taken action. We've identified the students involved and confiscated their devices. Under our anti-bullying policy there are escalating consequences. The posts have been removed and all parents have been contacted.

ملوث طالب علموں کو کیا سزا ملے گی؟

Depending on the severity, consequences range from suspension to a recommendation for expulsion. Cyberbullying falls into the most serious category. The students involved in this incident will receive a three-day suspension.

بیٹی کی جذباتی صحت کا کیا؟ اعتماد مکمل ختم ہو گیا ہے۔

The school counsellor will meet with her weekly as part of a resilience-building program. There's also a social skills group at lunchtime. We'll monitor her closely and make sure this doesn't happen again.

پولیس میں رپورٹ کروں؟ آن لائن ہراسانی جرم نہیں ہے؟

You have the right to do so. Online harassment and threats can be criminal offences. I'd recommend saving screenshots of the posts as evidence. The school liaison officer can help you with the process.

حل ہونے تک ہفتے وار اپ ڈیٹ چاہتی ہوں۔ دوبارہ نہیں ہونا چاہیے۔

Thank you for coming to the scholarship interview. You've applied for one of our merit-based scholarships. Can you tell me about your motivation?

خاندان میں پہلا فرد ہوں گا جو یونیورسٹی جائے۔ مالی حالت اچھی نہیں لیکن نمبر ہمیشہ سب سے اوپر رہے۔ وظیفے کے بغیر فیس ادا کرنا ممکن نہیں۔

Your academic record is certainly impressive. What was your ATAR score?

پچانوے اعشاریہ چھ۔ فخر ہے کیونکہ پارٹ ٹائم کام بھی کر رہا تھا۔

That's an outstanding achievement. This scholarship is worth fifteen thousand dollars per year and covers tuition and some living costs. You need to maintain an average grade throughout the three-year course.

نمبر گر جائیں تو؟ وظیفہ ختم ہو جائے گا؟

One semester of poor grades won't cancel the scholarship. You'll get a warning and support. If it continues for two semesters, there may be further consequences.

وظیفے پر پارٹ ٹائم کام کر سکتا ہوں؟ خاندان کی مدد ضروری ہے۔

Yes, there are no work restrictions under the scholarship conditions. However, I'd recommend keeping it to around fifteen hours a week to avoid affecting your grades.

نتیجہ کب آئے گا؟

We'll notify you by email within two weeks. If successful, you'll receive the scholarship agreement together with your offer of admission.

شکریہ۔ یہ وظیفہ میری زندگی بدل دے گا۔
