—Don't worry. Let me help you.

    Mr. Scott talked about colours all the time. "What a honey-yellow morning it is!" he said to his wife. His wife planted fruit and vegetables in their garden, but Mr. Scott was more interested in the leafy plants, the bushes, and even the grass that grew in the garden. "So many kinds of green," he said to her after watering all the plants. "I counted at least twenty shades of green!"

    "Well done, dear," Mrs. Scott said. " Now would you please count twenty dollars and go to the supermarket for some ingredients（配料）?I want to make lunch! "

    With a smile on his face, Mr. Scott left at once. He enjoyed trips to the supermarket because of all the colourful cans and boxes in it. Fruit and vegetables, too, shone in their bright skins. There was never just one colour: carrots were orange, but also had bits of yellow and brown in them. Bananas were yellow and black; apples hid oranges and purples inside their reds. Mr. Scott would walk through the supermarket and enjoy all the colours around him.

    "I wish there was a store full of colours that I could spend all my time in, " he sighed.

    He bought everything on his wife's list and came home. When he walked into the house, Mrs. Scott noticed the sad look on his face. "What's wrong?" she asked him. "It looks life you had fun at the store. I can see that you picked out the best things."

    "I did have fun in the store. So much that I wish I could have spent more time there. It's so full of colours! " Mr. Scott said. "I see, " Mrs. Scott said. "Well, cheer up, because I'm going to cook a nice lunch for us!"

    The next day Mr. Scott was on his usual morning walk through the neighbourhood, saying hello to everyone, enjoying the colours of the trees and flowers. It was another day of colours!

    "Good morning, Mr. Brown," he called out to one of his neighbours. He liked Mr. Brown very much, because, well, you guessed it: his name was a colour!

    "Mr. Scott! Just the person I wanted to see!" Mr. Brown replied. "My wife and I are moving out of this town, and I need someone to take over my shop. You are the perfect person for the job because it's a paint shop! I need someone who knows its colours. Would you be interested?"

    Mr. Scott was mad with excitement. "I will take it over right away!"

    Mr. Brown was relieved when he left town, because he knew his paint shop was in good hands. Sure enough, Mr. Scott kept the paint shop open for twenty more years and got to talk about colours all day, every day.

—Yes. It is beautiful and has many colors.

—OK. Mom. We'll do it at once.

Orchids and the environment

    The orchid is a beautiful flower that can grow indoors or outdoors. There are over 25,000 different species of orchids, so it's one of the largest families of p in the world. Orchids can come in many different cas well, such as white, purple, pink, blue and yellow. There are several conditions that help orchids grow so well. Orchids need the right temperature, as well as the right amount of sunlight, soil, and water in order to l.

    F indoor orchids, it is much easier to control these conditions. For example, orchids usually need to be watered once a week, and you can control how much water you give to the plant. Also, many orchids grow best if they had indirect sunlight b direct sunlight will burn them. Indoor orchids can be placed near windows with curtains or blinds. This will protect them and give them the indirect sunlight they need.

    However, as to orchids that grow outdoors in the wild, global warming can become a threat. Unfortunately, global warming affects temperature, light and rain. All these factors will affect the way orchids live and grow. Most orchids will live c within a narrow temperature range of 18.3 to 23.8 degrees Celsius. Global warming can increase temperatures beyond the natural range for these flowers. Unfortunately, this can destroy orchids because they can't survive in hot, dry conditions. Second, air pollution can create acid rain. Acid rain is created when gases from fossil fuels combine with water in the air to form acids. When acid rain falls on plants and trees, it destroys the n balance of the soil and kills them.
