Текст аудирования:
Does everyone react to colour in the same way? Some people like bright colours. Their spirits rise when they have walls and furniture in red, orange or yellow. Other people say that bright colours are not their way. They are often tired of bright red or bright blue and prefer pale pink, green or blue. Why is it so? How can we explain such preferences? Scientists don’t give a definite answer to this question. It seems logical enough to conclude that younger people are for brighter colours. But it is far from being so. On the one hand, there are many young girls or boys whose favourites are grey, beige, pale brown. On the other hand, there are elderly ladies who are fond of wearing bright purple and bright pink blouses or gentlemen of the same age whom you can see in yellow and orange shirts and jackets.
Some people say that much depends on cultural rules and traditions. They believe that southerners are fond of warm colours and those who live in cold northern areas prefer cold colours. But it is hardly so because for many people living in the north red or orange are their favourites.
Some individuals admit that they feel comfortable and in harmony with themselves when there are certain colours around them. So, does the choice of colours depend on people s personalities? There are more questions than answers. But it is certain that colours may produce different feeligns or lead to them For ex ample, too much of black, dark grey or dark blue may lead to depression. Combinations of red or contrasts between the colours can give an illusion of warmth. Another question is how much our education, age, traditions, our taste influence our preferences in colour. Can a sense of colour be developed or is it inborn? These and many others are the problems for discussion.
