Anxious break bruise envy painkillers sad X-ray
Hi Jenny,
Sorry we weren’t at your party yesterday. My brother Kevin fell down the stairs, so we took him to hospital. We were very axious about him when the doctor sent him to have a(n) 2X-ray , but luckily he didn’t 3break any bones. He did bruise his shoulder quite badly though − the skin there is purple and black today! The doctor gave Kevin some painkillers because his shoulder hurts a lot, but he’ll be much better in a few days. Anyway, how did your party go? I’m sad that I couldn’t come because the photos on Facebook look great − you certainly had a good time! I envy you a little too, because your new boyfriend is very good-looking!

The photo shows a group of people with bare feet in a park. It looks as some kind of yoga class because they are all standing in the same position. The man has his foot on his hip is the teacher, I could say, because everyone is looking in his direction and trying to copy him. It’s more likely a class for advanced students because they all look very confident. However, the woman with a ponytail is holding something to help her, so I’d tell that she is a beginner. There is a man in the background who looks like he’s has got a ball of some kind. He’s using it to help him balance, or something like that. The photo appears to be an advert for a holiday camp because everyone looks like a model and they are all wearing designer sports clothes.

Colour and you
1 D
Did you know that different people see colours differently? Some people, called tetrachromats, can see more colours than most people. Others, called bichromats, see fewer colours. This is important because colours can make you feel − and behave – differently, too.

If a boy in your class comes to school tomorrow in pink jeans, you’ll be surprised. And you probably won’t be having your next lesson in a red classroom. But how we feel about colour depends on who we are and where we are born. In many cultures, people traditionally dress little girls in pink, and little boys in blue. So when we grow up, men and women like or hate these colours. And red walls aren’t popular in Europe because red means ‘danger’. But in China, red means ‘good luck’.
3 F
Artists know that paintings with warm reds and yellows sell better than pictures with cold greens and blues because warm colours make us feel excited. They may also wake us up, so if you put a big red picture in your bedroom, you probably won’t sleep well! Blue might be a cool colour, but it helps us to relax. And yellow often makes people feel happier. It could also help people to get better more quickly, so hospital walls often have warm, yellow pictures.

What football shirt will you be wearing to the next match? In a recent documentary, scientists showed that players in red football shirts felt more confident, and played better than players in blue shirts. Professional sports people also gave more points to players in red!
5 B
Not all animals can see colour, but people, monkeys and birds can see it well. This may be because people − and these animals − eat fruit. Fruit like oranges and bananas are green when they are small. When they change colour, our eyes tell us they are ready to eat. So next time you eat a tasty orange, think how lucky you are to see the colour orange!
A Colour and success
