| short pause ‖ breathe
Words to stress correctly
| experienced | ex·PE·ri·enced | /ɪkˈspɪriənst/ |
| introducing | in·tro·DU·cing | /ɪntrəˈdusɪŋ/ |
| particular | par·TIC·u·lar | /pɚˈtɪkjəlɚ/ |
| population | pop·u·LA·tion | /pɑpjəˈleɪʃən/ |
| important | im·POR·tant | /ɪmˈpɔrtənt/ |
| however | how·EV·er | /haʊˈɛvɚ/ |
50 words, aim for 19–23 seconds. No numbers. Breathe after business, after field, and after area; the final clause runs to the end with only a short pause after find out.
Where marks are usually lost
ex·PE·ri·enced, par·TIC·u·lar, im·POR·tant and how·EV·er stress the second syllable; in·tro·DU·cing and pop·u·LA·tion the third. The second sentence is 38 words — do not let the voice drop before if you are thinking. Sound the endings in experienced and thinks.
General tip: "However experienced" here means "no matter how experienced" — read however straight into experienced without a comma pause.
What it means: 中文 · हिन्दी · नेपाली · Tiếng Việt
中文: 市场调研是任何企业规划中至关重要的一部分。无论你或你的员工在某个特定领域多么有经验，如果你考虑把一项服务引入新的地区，首先了解当地民众对它的看法是很重要的。
हिन्दी: बाज़ार अनुसंधान किसी भी व्यवसाय की योजना का एक महत्वपूर्ण हिस्सा है। आप या आपका स्टाफ़ किसी विशेष क्षेत्र में चाहे कितने भी अनुभवी हों, अगर आप किसी नए इलाक़े में कोई सेवा शुरू करने की सोच रहे हैं, तो पहले यह पता लगाना ज़रूरी है कि स्थानीय आबादी इसके बारे में क्या सोचती है।
नेपाली: बजार अनुसन्धान कुनै पनि व्यवसायको योजनाको महत्त्वपूर्ण भाग हो। तपाईं वा तपाईंका कर्मचारी कुनै विशेष क्षेत्रमा जति नै अनुभवी भए पनि, नयाँ ठाउँमा कुनै सेवा सुरु गर्ने सोच्दै हुनुहुन्छ भने, स्थानीय जनताले त्यसबारे के सोच्छन् भनेर पहिले थाहा पाउनु महत्त्वपूर्ण छ।
Tiếng Việt: Nghiên cứu thị trường là phần thiết yếu trong việc lập kế hoạch của bất kỳ doanh nghiệp nào. Dù bạn hay nhân viên của bạn có kinh nghiệm đến đâu trong một lĩnh vực cụ thể, nếu bạn định đưa một dịch vụ đến khu vực mới, điều quan trọng là trước hết phải tìm hiểu người dân địa phương nghĩ gì về nó.
