1) Read the text and answer the following questions

Perfect colours, perfect

harmony
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
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 or 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 and 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 also makes dark spaces a little brighter.
