Mary didn’t understand such sentences as“She is blue today”,“You are yellow”,“He has a green thumb”,“He has told a white lie”and so on.And she went to the teacher Mrs James for help.

Mary:Mrs James,there is a colour in each of the sentences.What do they mean?

Mrs James:In everyday English,Mary,blue sometimes means sad,yellow afraid.A person with a green thumb grows plants well and a white lie is not a bad one.

Mary:I'm afraid I don’t understand them all.Would you give me an example for “a white lie”?

Mrs James:Certainly.Now I just give you some cakes.In fact you don’t like it,but you don’t want to let me know it.Instead you say,“No,thanks.I’m not hungry.”That’s a white lie.

Mary:It sounds very interesting.Thanks very much.

Mrs James:You are welcome.Colours are meaningful.I think you will meet more sentences like these in the future.Please come to me if you have any questions.
