(website: BBC Learning English - 6 Minute English / How color affects us)

Main idea

The main idea is to introduce the impact of color on our mood.

Connection

First, when I go to IKEA, most of their furniture’s colors are light colors. Therefore, after listening to the 6-mins lecture, I realize that light colors can bring a feeling of relaxation, so they are great for use as furniture.

Second, colors sometimes can show our mood such as “Green” can symbolize a feeling of envy and “Blue” can symbolize depression. But someone feels calm when they see green.

Reflection

As Karen Haller, a color psychologist and a color designer and consultant, said that the wavelengths of light cause different colors we see. Besides, we will have different reactions when they come through our eyes to the part of our brain called the hypothalamus.

Besides, when the person lives a hectic life often want a quiet sanctuary to come back to, so they had very pale colors or very low chromatic colors in their house.

However, since the COVID-19 comes, many people would work from home, so they would choose the bright color to boost their spirit.

The science of ghosts (members:郭哲豪、陳柏均) (Link: The science of ghosts | Science News for Students ) Main idea The article explains that supernatural things may not be real things, it usually is a kind of hallucination of people. Supporting details This article explains when people find that they wake up but can't move, it's not a ghost pressing you but sleep paralysis in science. It also explains when the senses of humans receive too little surrounding information, our brain will create more of reality. Therefore, it will lead to hallucination more than reality for us. Last, the author tells that people only remember the things on which they want to focus. And that is why some people will take what they think are "abnormal things" in supernatural directions. Evidence Sleep paralysis “is like dreaming with your eyes open,” explains Baland Jalal, a neuroscientist who studied at the University of Cambridge in England.

In some special cases, our brain messes up, adds, or ignores signals, which leads to hallucinations. So we don't need to be afraid of it: instead, we should think more about the principle behind it. Supporting details： 1. When you mishear the lyrics in a song, your brain filled in a meaning that wasn’t there. (And it will most likely continue to mishear those words even after you learn the right ones.) 2. The brain’s picture of reality sometimes includes things that aren’t there. But it can also completely miss things that are there. This is called inattentional blindness....
