Why Your English Feels Stuck (And What to Do)

Do you believe people are born with a certain amount of ability and intelligence? Or do you think these things can be changed through effort and education?

Your answers to these questions may decide how well you chase your own goals in life!

Researchers in Norway looked at over 1,500 people aged 13 to 77.

Participants filled out a survey asking them questions about how much they think people's abilities and intelligence can grow with effort and education.

They also filled out two more surveys: one asking how passionate they are about the things they are interested in, and one asking how persistent — and consistent — they are in chasing their goals.

For example, they were asked how much they agree with statements such as, "I use a lot of time on the projects I like," for passion, and "I finish whatever I begin," for persistence.

The researchers then looked at the people who got the 5% highest and lowest scores for belief in people's ability to grow.

It was found that those with the greatest belief in growth also had significantly higher scores in passion and persistence.

Interestingly, although 60% of all the study participants were women, in the group with the lowest belief in growth almost 60% were men.

"The belief in growth is important for large parts of our society," said Hermundur Sigmundsson, one of the study's authors. "This is true for school, sports, work and family life."

The authors also pointed to other studies that have found that it's possible to help people believe in personal growth — particularly as children — and that this can result in greater persistence.

Looking at their own results, the researchers said it can be argued that belief in your ability to grow may be important for both passion and persistence.

However, they also noted that it could also be that passion, perseverance and belief in growth all support each other.

Expression française "voir midi à sa porte"

大家好，我是Honglin老师，欢迎来到我的汉字频道。
这是我的第二条推送。今天要和你们分享的是，“口”字，一家五口人的“口”，吃饭和说话会用到的“口”，或者说，我们的嘴巴。

口，是一个象形字，它的形状长得就像我们的嘴巴。最开始的“口”，是一个圆形，就像我们说“啊”的时候，嘴巴张开的样子。而且两边的竖很长，看起来就像一个英文字母的H，只不过最下面还有一横。后来圆的慢慢变成方的，两边的竖也变短，就变成了现在的“口”，就像一个正方形。“口”这个字，是汉字里变化最小的字之一，也是一些字的偏旁，表示和嘴巴相关的动作或者物品。比如，“吃”，吃东西的吃，就是用的“口”字旁。

那含有“口“字的词语也很多，今天给大家分享一个网络用语，“口嗨”。

“嗨“你可以理解成英文的“high“，兴奋的意思。口嗨的意思就是虽然话说得很漂亮，说可以做或者要做一件事，听起来很兴奋，但是行动上却做不到，说到却做不到。比如，你有一个朋友天天和你说，“哎呀，下次来我的城市，一定要告诉我，我带你玩，我带你吃好吃的，保证你满意“。但等你真的到了他那里，他说的这些要带你做的事，一件也没做。那你就可以说，“哎，他只是口嗨啦“。

How to develop longer, more detailed answers

A simple structure to organize your ideas clearly

How to support your opinion with reasons and examples

Useful strategies to avoid short or repetitive answers

Common mistakes that lower your score
You will also hear model answers with clear explanations to help you understand how to respond like a Band 7+ candidate.
