Two graduates interviewed twenty customers before building the first version of their product.
/tu ˈɡɹæd͡ʒuɪts ˈɪntɚˌvjud ˈtwɛnti ˈkʌstəmɚz bɪˈfɔɹ ˈbɪldɪŋ ðə fɚst ˈvɚʒən əv ðɛɹ ˈpɹɑdʌkt./
At first, this looked like a small decision about entrepreneurship, but its result soon became visible.
/æt fɚst, ðɪs lʊkt laɪk ə smɔl dɪˈsɪʒən əˈbaʊt ˌɑntɹəpɹəˈnɚʃɪp, bʌt ɪts ɹɪˈzʌlt sun bɪˈkeɪm ˈvɪzɪbəl./
The case raises a broader question: how ideas, risk, and persistence turn into new ventures.
/ðə keɪs ˈɹeɪzɪz ə ˈbɹɔdɚ ˈkwɛst͡ʃən: haʊ aɪˈdiəz, ɹɪsk, ænd pɚˈsɪstəns tɚn ˈɪntu nju ˈvɛnt͡ʃɚz./
The first response to entrepreneurship was designed around the needs of the people affected.
/ðə fɚst ɹɪˈspɑns tə ˌɑntɹəpɹəˈnɚʃɪp wəz dɪˈzaɪnd ɚˈaʊnd ðə nidz əv ðə ˈpipəl əˈfɛktɪd./
The example draws attention to a launch a start-up, which can shape how people respond to entrepreneurship.
/ðə ɪɡˈzæmpəl dɹɔz əˈtɛnʃən tə ə lɔnt͡ʃ ə stɑɹt ʌp, wɪt͡ʃ kən ʃeɪp haʊ ˈpipəl ɹɪˈspɑnd tə ˌɑntɹəpɹəˈnɚʃɪp./
A closer look at a drive innovation reveals a practical side of entrepreneurship that general opinions often miss.
/ə ˈkloʊsɚ lʊk æt ə dɹaɪv ˌɪnəˈveɪʃən ɹɪˈvilz ə ˈpɹæktɪkəl saɪd əv ˌɑntɹəpɹəˈnɚʃɪp ðæt ˈd͡ʒɛnɚəl əˈpɪnjənz ˈɔftən mɪs./
The case shows why a possible solution matters when people make decisions about entrepreneurship.
/ðə keɪs ʃoʊz waɪ ə ˈpɑsəbəl səˈluʃən ˈmætɚz wɛn ˈpipəl meɪk dɪˈsɪʒənz əˈbaʊt ˌɑntɹəpɹəˈnɚʃɪp./
People usually notice the value of entrepreneurship only after a real event changes their routine.
/ˈpipəl ˈjuʒəli ˈnoʊtɪs ðə ˈvælju əv ˌɑntɹəpɹəˈnɚʃɪp ˈoʊnli ˈæftɚ ə ɹil ɪˈvɛnt ˈt͡ʃeɪnd͡ʒɪz ðɛɹ ɹuˈtin./
When discussing entrepreneurship, people should explain why a clear explanation matters.
/wɛn dɪˈskʌsɪŋ ˌɑntɹəpɹəˈnɚʃɪp, ˈpipəl ʃʊd ɪkˈspleɪn waɪ ə klɪɹ ˌɛkspləˈneɪʃən ˈmætɚz./
For an individual, the first useful step is to describe what actually happened instead of offering a vague opinion.
/fɚ ən ˌɪndɪˈvɪd͡ʒuəl, ðə fɚst ˈjusfəl stɛp ɪz tə dɪˈskɹaɪb wʌt ˈækt͡ʃəli ˈhæpənd ɪnˈstɛd əv ˈɔfɚɪŋ ə veɪɡ əˈpɪnjən./
One concrete detail creates a picture, a reason explains its meaning, and a result gives the account a natural ending.
/wʌn ˈkɑŋkɹit ˈditeɪl kɹiˈeɪts ə ˈpɪkt͡ʃɚ, ə ˈɹizən ɪkˈspleɪnz ɪts ˈminɪŋ, ænd ə ɹɪˈzʌlt ɡɪvz ðə əˈkaʊnt ə ˈnæt͡ʃɚəl ˈɛndɪŋ./
This simple structure makes the idea easier to understand, remember, and retell in your own words.
/ðɪs ˈsɪmpəl ˈstɹʌkt͡ʃɚ meɪks ðə aɪˈdiə ˈiziɚ tə ˌʌndɚˈstænd, ɹɪˈmɛmbɚ, ænd ɹiˈtɛl ɪn jʊɹ oʊn wɚdz./
A useful question about entrepreneurship focuses on what happened, why it matters, and what should happen next.
/ə ˈjusfəl ˈkwɛst͡ʃən əˈbaʊt ˌɑntɹəpɹəˈnɚʃɪp ˈfoʊkəsɪz ɔn wʌt ˈhæpənd, waɪ ɪt ˈmætɚz, ænd wʌt ʃʊd ˈhæpən nɛkst./
A concrete example of entrepreneurship makes the central idea easier to understand and evaluate.
/ə ˈkɑŋkɹit ɪɡˈzæmpəl əv ˌɑntɹəpɹəˈnɚʃɪp meɪks ðə ˈsɛntɹəl aɪˈdiə ˈiziɚ tə ˌʌndɚˈstænd ænd ɪˈvæljuˌeɪt./
The meaning of entrepreneurship becomes clearer when people connect it to a real experience.
/ðə ˈminɪŋ əv ˌɑntɹəpɹəˈnɚʃɪp bɪˈkʌmz ˈklɪɹɚ wɛn ˈpipəl kəˈnɛkt ɪt tə ə ɹil ɪkˈspɪɹiəns./
People can describe an experience when a real situation involving entrepreneurship requires action.
/ˈpipəl kən dɪˈskɹaɪb ən ɪkˈspɪɹiəns wɛn ə ɹil ˌsɪt͡ʃuˈeɪʃən ɪnˈvɑlvɪŋ ˌɑntɹəpɹəˈnɚʃɪp ɹiˈkwaɪɚz ˈækʃən./
People can compare two responses to entrepreneurship only when they use the same criteria.
/ˈpipəl kən kəmˈpɛɹ tu ɹɪˈspɑnsɪz tə ˌɑntɹəpɹəˈnɚʃɪp ˈoʊnli wɛn ðeɪ juz ðə seɪm kɹaɪˈtɪɹiə./
The most practical lesson is that entrepreneurship should be judged through real effects rather than attractive slogans.
/ðə moʊst ˈpɹæktɪkəl ˈlɛsən ɪz ðæt ˌɑntɹəpɹəˈnɚʃɪp ʃʊd bi d͡ʒʌd͡ʒd θɹu ɹil ɪˈfɛkts ˈɹæðɚ ðən əˈtɹæktɪv ˈsloʊɡənz./
Good decisions connect a clear purpose with evidence, human experience, and the willingness to revise a weak approach.
/ɡʊd dɪˈsɪʒənz kəˈnɛkt ə klɪɹ ˈpɚpəs wɪθ ˈɛvədəns, ˈhjumən ɪkˈspɪɹiəns, ænd ðə ˈwɪlɪŋnəs tə ɹɪˈvaɪz ə wik əˈpɹoʊt͡ʃ./
When those parts stay connected, the topic becomes easier to discuss in daily conversation and in an IELTS answer.
/wɛn ðoʊz pɑɹts steɪ kəˈnɛktɪd, ðə ˈtɑpɪk bɪˈkʌmz ˈiziɚ tə dɪˈskʌs ɪn ˈdeɪli ˌkɑnvɚˈseɪʃən ænd ɪn ən aɪ ɛl ti ɛs ˈænsɚ./
