A school provided breakfast and transport so low-income pupils could attend regularly and concentrate.
/ə skul pɹəˈvaɪdɪd ˈbɹɛkfəst ænd ˈtɹænspɔɹt soʊ loʊ ˈɪŋˌkʌm ˈpjupəlz kʊd əˈtɛnd ˈɹɛɡjəlɚli ænd ˈkɔnsənˌtɹeɪt./
At first, this looked like a small decision about poverty, but its result soon became visible.
/æt fɚst, ðɪs lʊkt laɪk ə smɔl dɪˈsɪʒən əˈbaʊt ˈpɑvɚti, bʌt ɪts ɹɪˈzʌlt sun bɪˈkeɪm ˈvɪzɪbəl./
The case raises a broader question: how low income restricts health, education, and choice.
/ðə keɪs ˈɹeɪzɪz ə ˈbɹɔdɚ ˈkwɛst͡ʃən: haʊ loʊ ˈɪŋˌkʌm ɹiˈstɹɪkts hɛlθ, ˌɛd͡ʒəˈkeɪʃən, ænd t͡ʃɔɪs./
A natural English sentence states the subject and action directly instead of copying Chinese word order.
/ə ˈnæt͡ʃɚəl ˈɪŋɡlɪʃ ˈsɛntəns steɪts ðə ˈsʌbd͡ʒɪkt ænd ˈækʃən dɪˈɹɛktli ɪnˈstɛd əv ˈkɑpiɪŋ t͡ʃaɪˈniz wɚd ˈɔɹdɚ./
People can reduce poverty when a real situation involving poverty requires action.
/ˈpipəl kən ɹɪˈdus ˈpɑvɚti wɛn ə ɹil ˌsɪt͡ʃuˈeɪʃən ɪnˈvɑlvɪŋ ˈpɑvɚti ɹiˈkwaɪɚz ˈækʃən./
A closer look at a material deprivation reveals a practical side of poverty that general opinions often miss.
/ə ˈkloʊsɚ lʊk æt ə məˈtɪɹiəl ˌdɛpɹəˈveɪʃən ɹɪˈvilz ə ˈpɹæktɪkəl saɪd əv ˈpɑvɚti ðæt ˈd͡ʒɛnɚəl əˈpɪnjənz ˈɔftən mɪs./
The evidence is incomplete; therefore, the decision should remain open to revision.
/ðə ˈɛvədəns ɪz ɪŋkəmˈplit; ˈðɛɹˌfɔɹ, ðə dɪˈsɪʒən ʃʊd ɹɪˈmeɪn ˈoʊpən tə ɹiˈvɪʒən./
People may judge the importance of a from this perspective differently because their needs and resources are not identical.
/ˈpipəl meɪ d͡ʒʌd͡ʒ ðə ɪmˈpɔɹtəns əv ə fɹʌm ðɪs pɚˈspɛktɪv ˈdɪfɹəntli bɪˈkʌz ðɛɹ nidz ænd ˈɹisɔɹsɪz ɑɹ nɑt aɪˈdɛntɪkəl./
In practice, an upward trend can connect an individual experience of poverty with a wider consequence.
/ɪn ˈpɹæktɪs, ən ˈʌpwɚd tɹɛnd kən kəˈnɛkt ən ˌɪndɪˈvɪd͡ʒuəl ɪkˈspɪɹiəns əv ˈpɑvɚti wɪθ ə ˈwaɪdɚ ˈkɑnsəkwəns./
The case shows why a substantial effect matters when people make decisions about poverty.
/ðə keɪs ʃoʊz waɪ ə sʌbˈstænʃəl ɪˈfɛkt ˈmætɚz wɛn ˈpipəl meɪk dɪˈsɪʒənz əˈbaʊt ˈpɑvɚti./
A complex issue can change how people understand and respond to poverty.
/ə kəmˈplɛks ˈɪʃu kən t͡ʃeɪnd͡ʒ haʊ ˈpipəl ˌʌndɚˈstænd ænd ɹɪˈspɑnd tə ˈpɑvɚti./
When discussing poverty, people should explain why a crucial factor matters.
/wɛn dɪˈskʌsɪŋ ˈpɑvɚti, ˈpipəl ʃʊd ɪkˈspleɪn waɪ ə ˈkɹuʃəl ˈfæktɚ ˈmætɚz./
When conditions deteriorate, people need a clear and practical response to poverty.
/wɛn kənˈdɪʃənz dɪˈtɪɹiɚˌeɪt, ˈpipəl nid ə klɪɹ ænd ˈpɹæktɪkəl ɹɪˈspɑns tə ˈpɑvɚti./
Personal experience is a useful starting point, but evidence about poverty must also include other groups and conditions.
/ˈpɚsənəl ɪkˈspɪɹiəns ɪz ə ˈjusfəl ˈstɑɹtɪŋ pɔɪnt, bʌt ˈɛvədəns əˈbaʊt ˈpɑvɚti 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./
A carefully designed response can enhance the positive effects of poverty without hiding its risks.
/ə ˈkɛɹfəli dɪˈzaɪnd ɹɪˈspɑns kən ɪnˈhæns ðə ˈpɑzɪtɪv ɪˈfɛkts əv ˈpɑvɚti wɪˈðaʊt ˈhaɪdɪŋ ɪts ɹɪsks./
People can reduce inequality when a real situation involving poverty requires action.
/ˈpipəl kən ɹɪˈdus ˌɪnɪˈkwɑləti wɛn ə ɹil ˌsɪt͡ʃuˈeɪʃən ɪnˈvɑlvɪŋ ˈpɑvɚti ɹiˈkwaɪɚz ˈækʃən./
People usually notice the value of poverty only after a real event changes their routine.
/ˈpipəl ˈjuʒəli ˈnoʊtɪs ðə ˈvælju əv ˈpɑvɚti ˈoʊnli ˈæftɚ ə ɹil ɪˈvɛnt ˈt͡ʃeɪnd͡ʒɪz ðɛɹ ɹuˈtin./
A clear explanation can change how people understand and respond to poverty.
/ə klɪɹ ˌɛkspləˈneɪʃən kən t͡ʃeɪnd͡ʒ haʊ ˈpipəl ˌʌndɚˈstænd ænd ɹɪˈspɑnd tə ˈpɑvɚti./
A concrete example of poverty makes the central idea easier to understand and evaluate.
/ə ˈkɑŋkɹit ɪɡˈzæmpəl əv ˈpɑvɚti meɪks ðə ˈsɛntɹəl aɪˈdiə ˈiziɚ tə ˌʌndɚˈstænd ænd ɪˈvæljuˌeɪt./
People can describe an experience when a real situation involving poverty requires action.
/ˈpipəl kən dɪˈskɹaɪb ən ɪkˈspɪɹiəns wɛn ə ɹil ˌsɪt͡ʃuˈeɪʃən ɪnˈvɑlvɪŋ ˈpɑvɚti ɹiˈkwaɪɚz ˈækʃən./
People can compare two responses to poverty only when they use the same criteria.
/ˈpipəl kən kəmˈpɛɹ tu ɹɪˈspɑnsɪz tə ˈpɑvɚti ˈoʊnli wɛn ðeɪ juz ðə seɪm kɹaɪˈtɪɹiə./
A convincing view of poverty gives a reason and then tests it against a concrete example.
/ə kənˈvɪnsɪŋ vju əv ˈpɑvɚti ɡɪvz ə ˈɹizən ænd ðɛn tɛsts ɪt əˈɡɛnst ə ˈkɑŋkɹit ɪɡˈzæmpəl./
The result matters because it shows whether a response to poverty worked in practice.
/ðə ɹɪˈzʌlt ˈmætɚz bɪˈkʌz ɪt ʃoʊz ˈwɛðɚ ə ɹɪˈspɑns tə ˈpɑvɚti wɚkt ɪn ˈpɹæktɪs./
The most practical lesson is that poverty should be judged through real effects rather than attractive slogans.
/ðə moʊst ˈpɹæktɪkəl ˈlɛsən ɪz ðæt ˈpɑvɚti ʃʊd bi d͡ʒʌd͡ʒd θɹu ɹil ɪˈfɛkts ˈɹæðɚ ðən əˈtɹæktɪv ˈsloʊɡənz./
This method turns passive vocabulary into usable language because each important word carries a clear job inside the argument.
/ðɪs ˈmɛθəd tɚnz ˈpæsɪv voʊˈkæbjəˌlɛɹi ˈɪntu ˈjuzəbəl ˈlæŋɡwɪd͡ʒ bɪˈkʌz it͡ʃ ɪmˈpɔɹtənt wɚd ˈkɛɹiz ə klɪɹ d͡ʒɑb ˈɪnˌsaɪd ðə ˈɑɹɡjəmənt./
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./
