A local clothing brand sold abroad but required suppliers to publish working-condition audits.
/ə ˈloʊkəl ˈkloʊðɪŋ bɹænd soʊld əˈbɹɔd bʌt ɹiˈkwaɪɚd səˈplaɪɚz tə ˈpʌblɪʃ ˈwɚkɪŋ kənˈdɪʃən ˈɔdəts./
At first, this looked like a small decision about globalisation, but its result soon became visible.
/æt fɚst, ðɪs lʊkt laɪk ə smɔl dɪˈsɪʒən əˈbaʊt ˌɡloʊbəlɪˈzeɪʃən, bʌt ɪts ɹɪˈzʌlt sun bɪˈkeɪm ˈvɪzɪbəl./
The case raises a broader question: how global connections spread goods, ideas, and risks.
/ðə keɪs ˈɹeɪzɪz ə ˈbɹɔdɚ ˈkwɛst͡ʃən: haʊ ˈɡloʊbəl kəˈnɛkʃənz spɹɛd ɡʊdz, aɪˈdiəz, ænd ɹɪsks./
People discuss globalisation whenever it affects their everyday choices.
/ˈpipəl dɪˈskʌs ˌɡloʊbəlɪˈzeɪʃən wɛˈnɛvɚ ɪt əˈfɛkts ðɛɹ ˈɛvɹiˈdeɪ ˈt͡ʃɔɪsɪz./
The example draws attention to economic globalisation, which can shape how people respond to globalisation.
/ðə ɪɡˈzæmpəl dɹɔz əˈtɛnʃən tə ˌɛkəˈnɑmɪk ˌɡloʊbəlɪˈzeɪʃən, wɪt͡ʃ kən ʃeɪp haʊ ˈpipəl ɹɪˈspɑnd tə ˌɡloʊbəlɪˈzeɪʃən./
A closer look at international trade reveals a practical side of globalisation that general opinions often miss.
/ə ˈkloʊsɚ lʊk æt ˌɪntɚˈnæʃənəl tɹeɪd ɹɪˈvilz ə ˈpɹæktɪkəl saɪd əv ˌɡloʊbəlɪˈzeɪʃən ðæt ˈd͡ʒɛnɚəl əˈpɪnjənz ˈɔftən mɪs./
People need realistic support to maintain a balance between the benefits and costs of globalisation.
/ˈpipəl nid ˌɹiəˈlɪstɪk səˈpɔɹt tə meɪnˈteɪn ə ˈbæləns bɪˈtwin ðə ˈbɛnəfɪts ænd kɔsts əv ˌɡloʊbəlɪˈzeɪʃən./
A serious problem involving globalisation may require attention from both individuals and institutions.
/ə ˈsɪɹiəs ˈpɹɑbləm ɪnˈvɑlvɪŋ ˌɡloʊbəlɪˈzeɪʃən meɪ ɹɪˈkwaɪɚ əˈtɛnʃən fɹʌm boʊθ ˌɪndɪˈvɪd͡ʒuəlz ænd ˌɪnstɪˈtuʃənz./
Available information can change how people understand and respond to globalisation.
/əˈveɪləbəl ˌɪnfɔɹˈmeɪʃən kən t͡ʃeɪnd͡ʒ haʊ ˈpipəl ˌʌndɚˈstænd ænd ɹɪˈspɑnd tə ˌɡloʊbəlɪˈzeɪʃən./
The case shows why a particular experience matters when people make decisions about globalisation.
/ðə keɪs ʃoʊz waɪ ə pɚˈtɪkjəlɚ ɪkˈspɪɹiəns ˈmætɚz wɛn ˈpipəl meɪk dɪˈsɪʒənz əˈbaʊt ˌɡloʊbəlɪˈzeɪʃən./
An alternative solution can change how people understand and respond to globalisation.
/ən ɔlˈtɚnɪtɪv səˈluʃən kən t͡ʃeɪnd͡ʒ haʊ ˈpipəl ˌʌndɚˈstænd ænd ɹɪˈspɑnd tə ˌɡloʊbəlɪˈzeɪʃən./
When discussing globalisation, people should explain why an individual experience matters.
/wɛn dɪˈskʌsɪŋ ˌɡloʊbəlɪˈzeɪʃən, ˈpipəl ʃʊd ɪkˈspleɪn waɪ ən ˌɪndɪˈvɪd͡ʒuəl ɪkˈspɪɹiəns ˈmætɚz./
People may judge the importance of a local community differently because their needs and resources are not identical.
/ˈpipəl meɪ d͡ʒʌd͡ʒ ðə ɪmˈpɔɹtəns əv ə ˈloʊkəl kəˈmjunɪti ˈdɪfɹəntli bɪˈkʌz ðɛɹ nidz ænd ˈɹisɔɹsɪz ɑɹ nɑt aɪˈdɛntɪkəl./
An efficient solution can change how people understand and respond to globalisation.
/ən ɪˈfɪʃənt səˈluʃən kən t͡ʃeɪnd͡ʒ haʊ ˈpipəl ˌʌndɚˈstænd ænd ɹɪˈspɑnd tə ˌɡloʊbəlɪˈzeɪʃən./
Debates about globalisation become difficult when people treat a partial truth as a complete explanation.
/dɪˈbeɪts əˈbaʊt ˌɡloʊbəlɪˈzeɪʃən bɪˈkʌm ˈdɪfɪkʌlt wɛn ˈpipəl tɹit ə ˈpɑɹʃəl tɹuθ æz ə kəmˈplit ˌɛkspləˈneɪʃən./
A stronger position acknowledges a reasonable objection, sets clear limits, and still explains why one conclusion is preferable.
/ə ˈstɹɔŋɡɚ pəˈzɪʃən ækˈnɑlɪd͡ʒɪz ə ˈɹiznəbəl əbˈd͡ʒɛkʃən, sɛts klɪɹ ˈlɪmɪts, ænd stɪl ɪkˈspleɪnz waɪ wʌn kəŋˈkluʒən ɪz ˈpɹɛfɚəbəl./
This balance does not weaken the argument; it makes the judgement more precise, credible, and useful.
/ðɪs ˈbæləns dʌz nɑt ˈwikən ðə ˈɑɹɡjəmənt; ɪt meɪks ðə ˈd͡ʒʌd͡ʒmənt mɔɹ pɹɪˈsaɪs, ˈkɹɛdɪbəl, ænd ˈjusfəl./
When discussing globalisation, people should explain why a sustainable solution matters.
/wɛn dɪˈskʌsɪŋ ˌɡloʊbəlɪˈzeɪʃən, ˈpipəl ʃʊd ɪkˈspleɪn waɪ ə səˈsteɪnəbəl səˈluʃən ˈmætɚz./
One group may benefit, whereas another group may face extra pressure.
/wʌn ɡɹup meɪ ˈbɛnəfɪt, wɛˈɹæz əˈnʌðɚ ɡɹup meɪ feɪs ˈɛkstɹə ˈpɹɛʃɚ./
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 globalisation with a wider consequence.
/ɪn ˈpɹæktɪs, ən ˈʌpwɚd tɹɛnd kən kəˈnɛkt ən ˌɪndɪˈvɪd͡ʒuəl ɪkˈspɪɹiəns əv ˌɡloʊbəlɪˈzeɪʃən wɪθ ə ˈwaɪdɚ ˈkɑnsəkwəns./
A substantial effect can change how people understand and respond to globalisation.
/ə sʌbˈstænʃəl ɪˈfɛkt kən t͡ʃeɪnd͡ʒ haʊ ˈpipəl ˌʌndɚˈstænd ænd ɹɪˈspɑnd tə ˌɡloʊbəlɪˈzeɪʃən./
The result matters because it shows whether a response to globalisation worked in practice.
/ðə ɹɪˈzʌlt ˈmætɚz bɪˈkʌz ɪt ʃoʊz ˈwɛðɚ ə ɹɪˈspɑns tə ˌɡloʊbəlɪˈzeɪʃən wɚkt ɪn ˈpɹæktɪs./
A positive change in globalisation becomes credible when people can explain how it happened.
/ə ˈpɑzɪtɪv t͡ʃeɪnd͡ʒ ɪn ˌɡloʊbəlɪˈzeɪʃən bɪˈkʌmz ˈkɹɛdɪbəl wɛn ˈpipəl kən ɪkˈspleɪn haʊ ɪt ˈhæpənd./
Practical support can help people respond to globalisation without removing individual responsibility.
/ˈpɹæktɪkəl səˈpɔɹt kən hɛlp ˈpipəl ɹɪˈspɑnd tə ˌɡloʊbəlɪˈzeɪʃən wɪˈðaʊt ɹiˈmuvɪŋ ˌɪndɪˈvɪd͡ʒuəl ɹiˌspɑnsɪˈbɪləti./
The effect of globalisation may vary according to a person's needs, resources, and circumstances.
/ðə ɪˈfɛkt əv ˌɡloʊbəlɪˈzeɪʃən meɪ ˈvɛɹi əˈkɔɹdɪŋ tə ə ˈpɚsənz nidz, ˈɹisɔɹsɪz, ænd ˈsɚkəmˌstænsɪz./
However, an early success can hide a cost that appears later.
/ˌhaʊˈɛvɚ, ən ˈɚli səkˈsɛs kən haɪd ə kɔst ðæt əˈpɪɹz ˈleɪtɚ./
The most practical lesson is that globalisation should be judged through real effects rather than attractive slogans.
/ðə moʊst ˈpɹæktɪkəl ˈlɛsən ɪz ðæt ˌɡloʊbəlɪˈzeɪʃən ʃʊd bi d͡ʒʌd͡ʒd θɹu ɹil ɪˈfɛkts ˈɹæðɚ ðən əˈtɹæktɪv ˈsloʊɡənz./
The strongest example is usually specific enough to picture and relevant enough to support the central point.
/ðə ˈstɹɔŋɡɪst ɪɡˈzæmpəl ɪz ˈjuʒəli spɪˈsɪfɪk ɪˈnʌf tə ˈpɪkt͡ʃɚ ænd ˈɹɛlɪvənt ɪˈnʌf tə səˈpɔɹt ðə ˈsɛntɹəl pɔɪnt./
If new evidence challenges the first judgement, changing the judgement is a sign of careful thinking rather than failure.
/ɪf nju ˈɛvədəns ˈt͡ʃælɪnd͡ʒɪz ðə fɚst ˈd͡ʒʌd͡ʒmənt, ˈt͡ʃeɪnd͡ʒɪŋ ðə ˈd͡ʒʌd͡ʒmənt ɪz ə saɪn əv ˈkɛɹfəl ˈθɪŋkɪŋ ˈɹæðɚ ðən ˈfeɪljɚ./
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./
