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.

はい、洋平先生です。こんにちは。今日は英語を話す生徒のよくあるミスについてお話ししたいと思います。 
えー、じゃあ早速（さっそく）ですけど、じゃ、レッスン中に、実際に私の生徒が間違えた文を言います。皆さん、どこが違うかちょっと考えてくださいね。じゃ、言いますね
 
①新しい仕事について面接を受けてきた。
 
これは何が間違いかわかりますか。え、じゃあ、正しい文を言いますね。
 
「新しい仕事の面接を受けてきた」
これでいいんですね。で、何が間違ってるかというと、”について” ですよね。「新しい仕事に”ついて”、面接を受けてきた」 
おそらくこの生徒は、Today I've got an interview for a new job の”for”を直訳(ちょくやく）してしまったんだと思います。直訳（literal translation)ですね。
えー、この”について”は、使い方がぜんぜん違うんですね。例えば、
・仕事についての詳細（しょうさい）を教えてください。 
・仕事について詳しい話をしますね。
の”について” なんですね。ですから、えー、aboutに近いんですかね。うん。
で、ここで、「仕事についての面接を受けてきた」と言うことはできません。気を付けてください。
 
えーっと2つ目行きますね。じゃ、皆さんレストランへ行きました。友達とレストラン行きました。 
で、友達が自分の欲しいものを注文しました。あ、じゃあ、私も同じものが欲しいなと思って、店員さんに言います。
 
②私にとって同じものをください。
 
これも何が違うかわかりますか。正しい文を言いますと、えー、
・私にも同じものをください。
・私も同じものをください。
でも、いいですね。で、おそらくこの生徒も The same for me, please. のforを直訳して、「私にとって同じものをください」と言ったんだと思うんですね。うん。”にとって”は、よく『何かと何かを比べている時』に使いますね。
え、例えば、
・私にとってわさびは辛くないです。（他の人は辛いだろうが）、私にとって わさびは辛くないです。
というような使い方をしますねえ。他にも
・私にとってあの人は特別（とくべつ）な存在（そんざい）です。 （あなたにはなんでもない存在かもしれないが）私にとって、あの人は特別な存在です。
 
He/She is special for me. ですね。 
じゃあ、もう2つありますね。え～はい、これもforですね。じゃあ言いますね。
 
③彼女にとってプレゼントを買うところです。
 
これを正しい日本語にするとなんですか。 これは、えー、シンプルですね、
・彼女にプレゼントを買うところです。
 
で、いいんですよ、この「彼女にとって、プレゼントを買うところです」。これを日本人が聞くと、かなり混乱（こんらん）します。彼女にプレゼントを買うのか、彼女が私にプレゼントを買うのか分からないぐらい、おかしな文になっちゃうんですよ。 はい、気を付けてくださいね。じゃあ最後、これもfor です。えー、言いますね。
 
④ 冬にとって準備(じゅんび）をしなければいけませんね。
 
はい、これ英語で言うとWe need to prepare for winter.ですよね。これをじゃあ、日本語にするとどうなりますか。はい、えーっとですね、
・冬に向けて準備をしなければいけませんね。
が、正しいですねえ、もしくは 冬は名詞（noun)で準備も名詞(noun)ですから、
・冬の準備をしなければいけませんね。 
でも、オッケーですよ。
 
どうですか。えー、これは本当によくあるミスなんですよ。えっとfor 英語のfor は多分たくさん意味があると思うんですね。で、それを日本語に直訳してしまうと、とてもおかしなことになりやすいんですよ。
え、ですから、上級者の生徒もよく間違えるんで、初級者、中級者、上級者に関わわらず、え、皆さんもう一度for を勉強しなおしてみてはいかがでしょうか。はい、じゃ、今日も聞いていただいて、ありがとうございました。 
じゃあ、みんな日本語の勉強がんばってください。バイバイ✋

＃10　 “for”をちょくせつ翻訳（ほんやく）しないで！

Teamwork and collaboration are two of the most important topics in Business English. Today let's listen to some vocabulary, grammar, phrases, idioms and ideas for speaking about this in English. As an international professional you are always collaborating with colleagues from around the world, working together to complete projects and deliver great work. Learning and understanding how we can work together better, build better teams, and have better relationships with our team mates is key to being the best professional possible.  If you're listening on Apple podcasts please don't forget to leave a review, it really helps me out! 

For non-native English speakers, and people who speak English as a 2nd language, (second language speakers), working in teams can be challenging. Listening to what your colleagues have to say, and also expressing your own ideas, making as few mistakes as possible, and creating great sentences can be a challenge that many people find really difficult.

In this podcast we're going to be listening to several tips for improving your teamwork and collaboration skills, we'll look at the vocabulary and business English that can really help us to use those tips, then at the end we'll have a short quiz to see how much of what we talk about you can remember.
