Understanding the NAATI CCL Test and Its Dialogue Scenarios

The whole point of the NAATI CCL Test is to see how well you can translate between English and your community language. Don't worry, though. It's not as hard as it might seem. The test is made up of two conversations that show everyday situations you might find yourself in. These situations are meant to be like real-life chats, so you'll use your language skills in the same way you do when you talk to people every day.

Now, let's break down the types of dialogue scenarios you might encounter:

Social Situations:

Dialogues involving casual conversations between friends, family members, or acquaintances. These could cover topics like hobbies, plans, opinions, and personal experiences.

Imagine two friends talking about their favourite things to do. Here is an example of a conversation in three community languages:

Hindi:
English Speaker: What do you enjoy doing in your free time?
Hindi Speaker: मैं फ्री टाइम में क्या करने का आनंद लेता हूँ?
English Speaker: Oh, I love painting and reading books.

Nepali:
English Speaker: How do you spend your leisure time?
Nepali Speaker: तिमी फ्री टाइम कसरी बिताउँछौ?
English Speaker: I enjoy gardening and watching movies.

Punjabi:
English Speaker: What are your hobbies?
Punjabi Speaker: ਤੁਸੀਂ ਆਪਣੇ ਸ਼ੌਕ ਕੀ ਹਨ?
English Speaker: Cooking and playing musical instruments are my passions.

Service Encounters:

Dialogues related to customer service interactions, such as booking appointments, making inquiries, or seeking assistance in a professional setting.

Imagine two people talking at a store. Here is a conversation in different community languages:

Shopkeeper: इस शर्ट को और बड़े साइज़ में दिलवा सकता हूँ?

Public Services:

Dialogues that occur in public service contexts, like at a doctor's office, post office, government agency, or community centre.

Imagine a dialogue at a government office. Here's an example in different languages:

Educational Settings:

Conversations that might take place in educational environments, such as discussions between students and teachers or interactions between parents and school staff.

Media and Entertainment:

Dialogues centred around media content like movies, TV shows, news broadcasts, or interviews.

Imagine a discussion about a movie. Here's an example dialogue in different languages:
