Vol. 76 ロジェさんとN1の単語の話し合い。

Narrator: The challenge for modern-day employees is to​evolve as the world is rapidly changing around them. You may not change, but the skills required to do your job well. In the last decade, ​automation has already had an impact on the number of jobs, and there are fears that this isn’t going to slow. Learning new skills allow workers to stay​relevant and competitive, even in the face of changes in their industry. It doesn’t have to be vastly time-consuming. Something such as improving your​Word or Excel skills, or learning basic code, to make you more efficient is a start. Yet, investing in more up-to-date abilities is a good idea. A good starting point is job-specific skills, but personal skills are also worth looking into. For example, if you find it difficult to cope under pressure, you may want to look into ​self-management. Communication is another area worth considering. You may want to look at, not only how you express yourself, but also your ability to ​actively listen when others are talking and incorporate their feedback and ideas into what you do. With globalization, another ​fundamental skill these days is intercultural awareness. So, there are a variety of options for us to improve our working knowledge.

Confident language in business communication projects assuredness, authority, and credibility. It instills trust in colleagues, clients, and investors. By using confident language one can reduce confusion, miscommunication, and save time. Here are key elements:
•	Strong Verbs: Replace weak verbs like "maybe" or "could" with active verbs like "will" and "can." This conveys ownership and decisiveness.
•	Precise Language: Avoid vague terms like "a lot" or "kind of." Use specific data, metrics, and examples to substantiate claims.
•	Direct Address: Speak directly to your audience. Avoid hedging phrases like "I think" or "in my opinion" unless emphasizing your perspective.
•	Positive Framing: Focus on the strengths of your ideas and solutions. Downplay limitations with workarounds or future improvements. 
EXAMPLE>
Negative: "We might not meet the original deadline, but we'll try our best."
Positive: "We're on track to deliver a high-quality project by the extended deadline. This allows for final refinements to ensure a successful outcome."

By mastering confident language, you can express your ideas with clarity, influence decision-making, and achieve your business goals.

【スクリプト】
こんにちは～！マルハバ！サウジの日本語の先生、佳子です＾＾
みなさんー！元気ですかー？私はとっても元気ですよー！
今日のトピックは「誕生日パーティー」

先週土曜日、息子のいとこの誕生日だったので、誕生日パーティーに招待されて行ってきましたー！室内遊園地の施設内にあるパーティールームで行われました。サウジ人はパーティー好きなので、よく室内遊園地やマックにパーティールームがあるんですよね～。家族、クラスメート、その親と兄弟、メイドあわせて50人以上のとても大きなパーティーでした。日本にいたときは、幼稚園で誕生日会があったので、クラスメートを呼んでのパーティーはしたことがなかったし、小さい家族だったので、今回のパーティーの規模の大きさに驚きました。
3歳になった女の子のいとこは、ミニーマウス、ミッキーマウスが大好き。だから、ミニー、ミッキーをテーマにしたかわいいパーティーでした。ピンクの大きなバルーンアーチに名前入りのバルーン、大きなミニーの巨大特注ケーキ、ペットボトルや紙皿もミニー。子供たちにはミニーとミッキーのカチューシャが配られて、女の子はミニーの顔をペイントしてもらってました。息子は絶対いやーという感じでカチューシャつけなかったですけどね笑
人がある程度そろったら、輪投げと椅子取りゲームが始まりました。ダンスと音楽を楽しんで、そのあとはお待ちかねのケーキ。ミニー好きのいとこは目をキラキラさせながら、ろうそくの火を消していました。ケーキカットと思いきや、ケーキを食べる前に、子供たちは室内遊園地のプレイカードをもらって、フリータイム。息子はあまり遊ばなかったけど、みんな大はしゃぎで遊園地を楽しんでいました！
初めての外での誕生日パーティー、息子は少し緊張しながらも楽しんだようです！
それではまた！マア　アッサラーマ！
