bNow read the text and complete column 2 (The expert's opinion). Do you agree?
The colour you paint the rooms in your house can make you more comfortable. Follow the suggestions below to create the perfect atmosphere to eat, sleep, work, and relax in your own home.
The bedroom
The perfect colour for a bedroom is blue. It is a very relaxing colour, and can make -you feel happier and more positive about life when you wake up in the morning.
The living room
The perfect colour for an elegant living room is green, with some white. Don't use dramatic colours like red, purple, and black because they don't help you relax.
The dining room
Red and orange are two colours which can make you feel hungrier at mealtimes. They also encourage more interesting conversation. But be careful! Only use these colours in small areas - a lot of red or orange can make you feel aggressive.
The study
Yellow is a beautiful colour which makes you feel happier and helps you to think, so it is a good colour for this room. It is also makes dark spaces a little brighter.
dRead the text again. Mark the sentences T (True) or F (False).
1 A blue bedroom helps you to wake up earlier. F
2Green and white are dramatic colours.
3Red or orange in the dining room makes people eat and talk.
4A yellow study helps you to work better.
