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 group changed its view after it had compared the short-term and long-term effects.
/ðə ɡɹup t͡ʃeɪnd͡ʒd ɪts vju ˈæftɚ ɪt hæd kəmˈpɛɹd ðə ʃɔɹt tɚm ænd lɔŋ tɚm ɪˈfɛkts./
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 main advantage of one response to entrepreneurship should be clear enough to observe or measure.
/ðə meɪn ædˈvæntɪd͡ʒ əv wʌn ɹɪˈspɑns tə ˌɑntɹəpɹəˈnɚʃɪp ʃʊd bi klɪɹ ɪˈnʌf tə əbˈzɚv ɔɹ ˈmɛʒɚ./
A clearly defined problem makes it easier to choose an appropriate response to entrepreneurship.
/ə ˈklɪɹli dɪˈfaɪnd ˈpɹɑbləm meɪks ɪt ˈiziɚ tə t͡ʃuz ən əˈpɹoʊpɹiɪt ɹɪˈspɑns tə ˌɑntɹəpɹəˈnɚʃɪp./
A practical solution to entrepreneurship should fit local needs and remain realistic over time.
/ə ˈpɹæktɪkəl səˈluʃən tə ˌɑntɹəpɹəˈnɚʃɪp ʃʊd fɪt ˈloʊkəl nidz ænd ɹɪˈmeɪn ˌɹiəˈlɪstɪk ˈoʊvɚ taɪm./
A positive change in entrepreneurship becomes credible when people can explain how it happened.
/ə ˈpɑzɪtɪv t͡ʃeɪnd͡ʒ ɪn ˌɑntɹəpɹəˈnɚʃɪp bɪˈkʌmz ˈkɹɛdɪbəl wɛn ˈpipəl kən ɪkˈspleɪn haʊ ɪt ˈhæpənd./
The immediate effect of entrepreneurship may be easy to see, while the longer-term effect is often less obvious.
/ðə ɪˈmidiɪt ɪˈfɛkt əv ˌɑntɹəpɹəˈnɚʃɪp meɪ bi ˈizi tə si, waɪl ðə ˈlɔŋɡɚ tɚm ɪˈfɛkt ɪz ˈɔftən lɛs ˈɑbviəs./
A careful comparison uses the same standard for both choices and separates convenience from lasting value.
/ə ˈkɛɹfəl kəmˈpɛɹəsən ˈjuzɪz ðə seɪm ˈstændɚd fɚ boʊθ ˈt͡ʃɔɪsɪz ænd ˈsɛpɚˌeɪts kənˈvinjəns fɹʌm ˈlæstɪŋ ˈvælju./
Once the difference is clear, a speaker can give a preference without pretending that the other option has no merit.
/wʌns ðə ˈdɪfɹəns ɪz klɪɹ, ə ˈspikɚ kən ɡɪv ə ˈpɹɛfɚəns wɪˈðaʊt pɹiˈtɛndɪŋ ðæt ðə ˈʌðɚ ˈɑpʃən hæz noʊ ˈmɛɹɪt./
Practical support can help people respond to entrepreneurship without removing individual responsibility.
/ˈpɹæktɪkəl səˈpɔɹt kən hɛlp ˈpipəl ɹɪˈspɑnd tə ˌɑntɹəpɹəˈnɚʃɪp wɪˈðaʊt ɹiˈmuvɪŋ ˌɪndɪˈvɪd͡ʒuəl ɹiˌspɑnsɪˈbɪləti./
Communities can develop a practical response to entrepreneurship by testing a small change first.
/kəˈmjunɪtiz kən dɪˈvɛləp ə ˈpɹæktɪkəl ɹɪˈspɑns tə ˌɑntɹəpɹəˈnɚʃɪp baɪ ˈtɛstɪŋ ə smɔl t͡ʃeɪnd͡ʒ fɚst./
The effect of entrepreneurship may vary according to a person's needs, resources, and circumstances.
/ðə ɪˈfɛkt əv ˌɑntɹəpɹəˈnɚʃɪp meɪ ˈvɛɹi əˈkɔɹdɪŋ tə ə ˈpɚsənz nidz, ˈɹisɔɹsɪz, ænd ˈsɚkəmˌstænsɪz./
An opinion about entrepreneurship becomes useful only after it is supported by a reason and an example.
/ən əˈpɪnjən əˈbaʊt ˌɑntɹəpɹəˈnɚʃɪp bɪˈkʌmz ˈjusfəl ˈoʊnli ˈæftɚ ɪt ɪz səˈpɔɹtɪd baɪ ə ˈɹizən ænd ən ɪɡˈzæmpəl./
People need realistic support to maintain a balance between the benefits and costs of entrepreneurship.
/ˈpipəl nid ˌɹiəˈlɪstɪk səˈpɔɹt tə meɪnˈteɪn ə ˈbæləns bɪˈtwin ðə ˈbɛnəfɪts ænd kɔsts əv ˌɑntɹəpɹəˈnɚʃɪp./
The case shows why a clear explanation matters when people make decisions about entrepreneurship.
/ðə keɪs ʃoʊz waɪ ə klɪɹ ˌɛkspləˈneɪʃən ˈmætɚz wɛn ˈpipəl meɪk dɪˈsɪʒənz əˈbaʊt ˌɑntɹəpɹəˈnɚʃɪp./
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 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./
