Zhang Wei went to study in the UK last year. On his first day, his host family invited him to a birthday party. He wanted to bring a gift, so he went to a shop to buy some flowers. He chose white lilies because white is a pure colour in China. But when he gave the flowers to his host mom, she looked a little surprised. Later, his host brother Tom told him that white lilies are often used in funerals in the UK. Zhang Wei felt embarrassed and said, “I didn’t 1 that white has different meanings here.”
Tom smiled and said, “It’s okay. Many people don’t know about cultural differences in colours. Let me tell you more.” He explained that in the UK, red is a colour of love—people often give red roses on Valentine’s Day. Zhang Wei nodded and said, “In China, red is also a lucky colour. We use it in Spring Festival and weddings.”
Then Tom asked, “Do you know what yellow means in the UK ” Zhang Wei shook his head. Tom said, “Yellow is sometimes linked to cowardice, but it’s also a colour of happiness in some cases.” Zhang Wei found this very interesting. He decided to 2 more about colour meanings in Western cultures.
The next day, Zhang Wei went to the school library and borrowed a book about colours in different countries. He read that in Japan, black is a colour of formality—people wear black suits to work. In India, yellow is a colour of celebration—used in festivals like Holi. Zhang Wei took notes carefully, so he wouldn’t make the same 3again.
A month later, it was Tom’s birthday. Zhang Wei bought a bunch of red roses. When he gave them to Tom, Tom was very happy and said, “You really 4 about colour meanings now!” Zhang Wei laughed and said, “Yes, and I think learning about this helps me understand your culture better.”

Zhang Wei also learned that some colours have similar meanings across cultures. For example, green is often linked to nature and hope everywhere. He thought this was a nice thing—something that connects people 7different backgrounds.
One day, Zhang Wei’s teacher asked him to give a speech about “Colours in My Culture” in class.

Zhang Wei felt proud to share his culture, and he was also happy to 8 more about other cultures from his classmates.
At the end of the term, Zhang Wei wrote an article about his experience with colour cultures. The article was published in the school magazine, and many students told him it was helpful.
