Those accustomed to looking through thousands of books in big bookstores may find Japan’s Morioka Shoten a little strange.That’s because this tiny bookstore that is located in luxury shopping district of Ginza,in Tokyo offers just one title to its customers.
Opened in May 2015,Morioka Shoten(Japanese for bookstore)is the brainchild of Yoshiyuki Morioka.The experienced bookseller began his career as a bookstore clerk in Tokyo’s Kanda district before branching out to open his own store.It was here while organizing book readings that he realized that customers usually came into the store with one title in mind.Morioka began to wonder if a store could exist by selling many copies of just one single book.In November 2014,he partnered with his two friends,to establish a unique bookstore with the idea‘A Single Room,A Single Book.’
Like its offering,the bookstore is simple.The selections that are picked by Morioka change weekly and vary widely to attract customers with different interests.Recent choices include The True Deceiver,all award-winning Swedish novel by Tove Jansson,Hans Christian Andersen’s Fairy Tales.and a collection of artist Karl Blossfeldt’s photography of plants.Morioka has also displayed books written by famous Japanese authors Mimei Ogawa and Akito Akagi.
To highlight his single offering,Morioka often uses clever methods.For example,when selling a book about flowers,he decorated his shop with the ones that had been mentioned in the book.He also encourages featured authors to hold multiple talks and discussions so they can connect with customers.Morioka says his ultimate goal is for the customers to experience being inside a book,not just a bookstore!
Risky as the idea might seem,things appear to be going well.Morioka says he has sold over 2,100 books since he opened it.Things can only get better given that his bookstore is becoming increasingly popular not just among the locals but also visitors from other countries•

In Britain,it's bottoms up from the week before Christmas till the last firework explodes in the sky announcing the new year,.The last Friday before Christmas popularly known as‘Mad Friday’—is one of the busiest periods for the country’s pubs and clubs.
But it's not just the bars that get busy.Ambulances and A&E departments around Britain get packed out too.Head injuries,,cuts,falls…it's easy to end up hurting yourself or others when self-control disappear and your head is spinning due to alcoho1.Revelers(纵酒狂欢的人)have been warned by the health authorities about the dangers of deadly drinking but drinking crazily seems to be part of the festivities for some.
The charity Alcohol Concern is running a campaign of restriction by encouraging people to have a dry January.
Jackie Ballard,the charity’s Chief Executive,believes the campaign has been successful in recent years.She says:“More than two-thirds of people even six months later are drinking at reduced levels having had a month off drink.But also a study has shown the impact it has on people’s health reducing their blood pressure and blood sugar levels.”
The study by the University of Sussex followed up nearly 900 participants in Alcohol Concern’s Dry January campaign and found out that 72%of them had kept harmful drinking sessions down and 4%were still not drinking.
Moderation(适度)seems to be the key to everything.The official recommendation for women is not to regularly drink more than 2 to 3 units of alcohol a day.The limit for men is 3 to 4 units of alcohol—no more than a pint of 5.2%ABV lager,beer or cider.

The Dos and Don’ts of Learning a New Language
People decide to learn another language for many different reasons.Some learn another language because they would like to live in another country. 36 Some people have to study a language at school and others might decide to learn a language just for fun!
I’ve been learning French for just over two years.I decided to learn it because I wanted to learn something new and I love French culture.Learning French has been a fun and exciting journey but it’s also been challenging. I’ve learnt a lot about the challenges while learning a new language and have put together some‘dos’and‘don’ts’to help other language learners.
• 37
Learning a new language can be a hard process that requires a lot of motivation.Try different activities to make your language learning more enjoyable.Why not try watching your favourite TV series in that language or listening to music in that language?
•Do write down your mistakes
38 I like to write the mistakes that I make in a small pocket book.

If you have recently started learning another language,it may be unrealistic to expect to be fluent within a couple of months.Be aware that it could take a while. 39 It’s very difficult to have a native accent.The most important thing is that you’re clear and people can understand you.
•Don’t be scared
40 I worried about my accent,pronunciation,grammar and didn’t make the most of speaking opportunities.Looking back,it seems silly and now I’m more than happy to speak French.Don’t be afraid or overthink it,just be confident and speak.
