3. An interesting story
In the 1960’s the Presidential Election (总统竞选） in the USA was between Richard Nixon and John F. Kennedy.Both of them have high possibilities to win. The main focus(焦点) of attention was a debate( 辩论) on television. Nixon wore a light coloured suit while Kennedy wore a dark blue suit. The people who listened to the debate on the radio thought that Nixon had won . On the other hand, those who watched the debate on Black and White TVs believed that Kennedy had won. Who do you think would win the election?
Imagine(设想) you were an audience before the Black and White TV, and you also supported Kennedy, why do you think Kennedy could win the election?
The choice of colour has decided the leader of the Western World
It is now believed that Kennedy looked like an excellent person because of his dark suit. Nixon’s light coloured suit made him look much smaller and less important.
So colours play an important role in our daily life.
