1. Sitting by the fire on a cold night, wearing a woolen sweater, while drinking wine and petting a dog—probably surrounded by candles. That’s certainly “Hygge”. Eating home-made cakes. Watching TV under a warm quilt. Family get-togethers at Christmas. They’re all Hygge too.
The Danish word, pronounced “Hoo-ga”, is usually translated into English as “coziness”. But it’s much more than that; it is an entire attitude to life that makes Denmark to compete with Switzerland and Iceland to be the world’s happiest countries.
Morley College, in central London, is teaching students how to reach the state of Hygge as part of its Danish language cour. “We have long, cold winters in Denmark,” says lecturer Susanne Nilsson. “That influences things.” With up to 17 hours of darkness per day in the d
epth of winter, and average temperatures staying around zero degrees, people spend more time indoors as a result, says Nilsson, meaning there’s greater focus on home entertaining.
“Hygge could be families and friends getting together for a meal, with the lighting dimmed, or it could be time spent on your own reading a good book,” she says. “it works best when there’s not too large an empty space around the person or people,” the idea is to relax and feel as at home as possible, forgetting life’s worries.
The recent growth in some restaurants, cafes and bars in the UK is helping to introduce Hygge to the public, she adds, with their warm environment, lively decorations and concentrations on comforting food. Most customers won’t have heard of the word, but they might get a n of it.

2. This is a common situation for beginner-level language learners—they want to read classic(经典的) books, but what their language skills allow are usually little more than children's books.
Oxford University Press tried to solve this problem back in 1988 by designing a ries of
graded English reading materials known as the Oxford Bookworms Library. It now has a collection of over 200 books—many of them simplified versions of classics—which fall into ven difficulty levels from “starter level” to level six.
情侣亲亲However, there has always been a debate over whether shortened versions of classics have less value. Some worry that by reading them, students don't get to learn the esnce of the original(原版的) text.
Rob Waring, a Japane professor, mentions one of his students, Satoko, as an example in his booklet The "Whay" and “How" of Using Graded Readers. Satoko was a Japane student majoring in English. But by the time she graduated, she had only managed to finish reading just one English book becau it was far beyond her language level. “For Satoko, reading in English was a fight; a fight that she lost,” wrote Waring, who suggested that reading easy texts is necessary becau it helps language learners build up confidence and fluency in reading. By reading a lot—rather than getting stuck in one book—they can get ud to kinds of English expressions and writing styles. Only by doing this can they reach what Waring calls the “reading-with-ideas” level of reading.
So it doesn't matter if the books ae original classics or not-for beginner-level language learners, the simple act of reading is a form of learning in itlf. "Stories offer a window to other cultures, other worlds, real or imagined, beyond the classroom," Jennifer Bastt, the first editor of the Oxford Bookworms Library, said in an interview with GetEnglishLessons.
