When you are going to design a room, it is a good idea to think about the psychology of colour. When you plan your space, keep in mind that different colours, textures and layouts can have an impact on the way people feel in your room. Colour in particular can influence people's mood.
Red is associated with passion and anger, and can even cause headaches. It is a great accent colour for one wall, or for a couch or another piece of furniture, but some experts suggest that you should not paint an entire room red. Green is associated with calm and rest, and is a great colour for living rooms and bedrooms. However, too much green might take the energy out of a room, so you should combine it with a bit of red or orange to counteract its calming effects. Blue is also known as a calming and intellectual colour, but it can also appear cold unless you choose a blue with a warm base instead of a cool base.
Трудные для произношения слова. psychology [saɪˈkɒlədʒi], textures [ˈtekstʃəz], layouts [ˈleɪaʊts], associated [əˈsəʊsieɪtɪd], headaches [ˈhedeɪks], furniture [ˈfɜːnɪtʃə], counteract [ˌkaʊntərˈækt], intellectual [ˌɪntəˈlektʃuəl].
На что обратить внимание. Перечисление «colours, textures and layouts» и «passion and anger» — интонация незавершённого списка. Три противопоставления подряд, каждое на «but»/«However»: «…but some experts suggest…», «However, too much green…», «…but it can also appear cold…» — на каждом нужна пауза и понижение тона перед союзом. В слове «psychology» начальная «p» не произносится: [saɪˈkɒlədʒi], а не [psaɪ-].
