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./
A strong answer defines the issue, compares the evidence, and explains the conclusion.
/ə stɹɔŋ ˈænsɚ dɪˈfaɪnz ðə ˈɪʃu, kəmˈpɛɹz ðə ˈɛvədəns, ænd ɪkˈspleɪnz ðə kəŋˈkluʒən./
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 an important effect matters when people make decisions about entrepreneurship.
/ðə keɪs ʃoʊz waɪ ən ɪmˈpɔɹtənt ɪˈfɛkt ˈmætɚz wɛn ˈpipəl meɪk dɪˈsɪʒənz əˈbaʊt ˌɑntɹəpɹəˈnɚʃɪp./
A possible solution can change how people understand and respond to entrepreneurship.
/ə ˈpɑsəbəl səˈluʃən kən t͡ʃeɪnd͡ʒ haʊ ˈpipəl ˌʌndɚˈstænd ænd ɹɪˈspɑnd tə ˌɑntɹəpɹəˈnɚʃɪp./
People can avoid a mistake when a real situation involving entrepreneurship requires action.
/ˈpipəl kən əˈvɔɪd ə mɪˈsteɪk wɛn ə ɹil ˌsɪt͡ʃuˈeɪʃən ɪnˈvɑlvɪŋ ˌɑntɹəpɹəˈnɚʃɪp ɹiˈkwaɪɚz ˈækʃən./
A concrete example can provide evidence for a claim about entrepreneurship.
/ə ˈkɑŋkɹit ɪɡˈzæmpəl kən pɹəˈvaɪd ˈɛvədəns fɚ ə kleɪm əˈbaʊt ˌɑntɹəpɹəˈnɚʃɪp./
A similar experience can change how people understand and respond to entrepreneurship.
/ə ˈsɪmɪlɚ ɪkˈspɪɹiəns kən t͡ʃeɪnd͡ʒ haʊ ˈpipəl ˌʌndɚˈstænd ænd ɹɪˈspɑnd tə ˌɑntɹəpɹəˈnɚʃɪp./
When discussing entrepreneurship, people should explain why a different experience matters.
/wɛn dɪˈskʌsɪŋ ˌɑntɹəpɹəˈnɚʃɪp, ˈpipəl ʃʊd ɪkˈspleɪn waɪ ə ˈdɪfɹənt ɪkˈspɪɹiəns ˈmætɚz./
Personal experience is a useful starting point, but evidence about entrepreneurship must also include other groups and conditions.
/ˈpɚsənəl ɪkˈspɪɹiəns ɪz ə ˈjusfəl ˈstɑɹtɪŋ pɔɪnt, bʌt ˈɛvədəns əˈbaʊt ˌɑntɹəpɹəˈnɚʃɪp mʌst ˈɔlsoʊ ɪŋˈklud ˈʌðɚ ɡɹups ænd kənˈdɪʃənz./
A single example can show that a response is possible; it cannot prove that the response will work everywhere.
/ə ˈsɪŋɡəl ɪɡˈzæmpəl kən ʃoʊ ðæt ə ɹɪˈspɑns ɪz ˈpɑsəbəl; ɪt kæˈnɑt pɹuv ðæt ðə ɹɪˈspɑns wɪl wɚk ˈɛvɹiˌwɛɹ./
For that reason, responsible decisions define a goal, observe the result, and change direction when the evidence is weak.
/fɚ ðæt ˈɹizən, ɹiˈspɑnsɪbəl dɪˈsɪʒənz dɪˈfaɪn ə ɡoʊl, əbˈzɚv ðə ɹɪˈzʌlt, ænd t͡ʃeɪnd͡ʒ dɪˈɹɛkʃən wɛn ðə ˈɛvədəns ɪz wik./
The case shows why a significant effect matters when people make decisions about entrepreneurship.
/ðə keɪs ʃoʊz waɪ ə sɪɡˈnɪfɪkənt ɪˈfɛkt ˈmætɚz wɛn ˈpipəl meɪk dɪˈsɪʒənz əˈbaʊt ˌɑntɹəpɹəˈnɚʃɪp./
One key factor can explain why people experience entrepreneurship in different ways.
/wʌn ki ˈfæktɚ kən ɪkˈspleɪn waɪ ˈpipəl ɪkˈspɪɹiəns ˌɑntɹəpɹəˈnɚʃɪp ɪn ˈdɪfɹənt weɪz./
Values, resources, and past experience can influence behaviour related to entrepreneurship.
/ˈvæljuz, ˈɹisɔɹsɪz, ænd pæst ɪkˈspɪɹiəns kən ˈɪnfluəns bɪˈheɪvjɚ ɹɪˈleɪtɪd tə ˌɑntɹəpɹəˈnɚʃɪp./
A long-term consequence of entrepreneurship may be less visible than the immediate result.
/ə lɔŋ tɚm ˈkɑnsəkwəns əv ˌɑntɹəpɹəˈnɚʃɪp meɪ bi lɛs ˈvɪzɪbəl ðən ðə ɪˈmidiɪt ɹɪˈzʌlt./
Strong evidence helps people judge entrepreneurship without relying on a single attractive story.
/stɹɔŋ ˈɛvədəns hɛlps ˈpipəl d͡ʒʌd͡ʒ ˌɑntɹəpɹəˈnɚʃɪp wɪˈðaʊt ɹiˈlaɪɪŋ ɔn ə ˈsɪŋɡəl əˈtɹæktɪv ˈstɔɹi./
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./
Short-term measurements reveal immediate movement, while repeated observations show whether the change is likely to last.
/ʃɔɹt tɚm ˈmɛʒɚmənts ɹɪˈvil ɪˈmidiɪt ˈmuvmənt, waɪl ɹɪˈpitɪd ˌɑbzɚˈveɪʃənz ʃoʊ ˈwɛðɚ ðə t͡ʃeɪnd͡ʒ ɪz ˈlaɪkli tə læst./
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./
