Topic: Headphones

❓Do you use headphones?

Yes absolutely, I use headphones pretty often. A quality headphone always helps to reduce noise from out and gives the ability to focus on the task. I especially used them a lot while I was practicing Ielts listening. Also, if you are walking alone and want to listen to music with high-quality sound and as loud as you want without disturbing anyone, you must have a headphone.

❓What type of headphones do you use?

Definitely, airpods. Being completely free-wire and having 24-hour total battery life with Charging Case, it makes listening much convenient. On top that, it has a comfortable fit.

❓In what situations would you not use headphones?

I don't use headphones when I am driving a car. They block out our hearing senses and can be distracting. I also don't use them when I am with friends and family either. I think it's rude to use headphones while interacting with people, since I am supposed to pay full attention to them.

Topic: Color

❓What’s your favorite color?

I would have to say it’s a tie (equal) between deep purple and golden yellow. Actually, these colors quite complement each other. I love how mysterious purple is, along with the brightness and versatility of yellow. Also, I tend to wear clothes of these colors as they really match my complexion.

❓What color would you never use in your home?

Dark colors would not be my go-to when it comes to painting walls or choosing wallpapers. I think painting walls in fresh, natural-looking colors, particularly in shades of light blue and pale gray not only make a home feel larger, but also are neutral enough to help future buyers envision themselves living in the space.

❓Do you think colors influence you?

Definitely! Picasso once said: “Colors, like features, follow the changes of the emotions” and this has so far proven to be true in my life. Warm colors like red, yellow and pink evoke emotions such as love, passion and happiness, while cool colors, like blue, green make me calm down.

❓What is the color of your home?

Since I don’t own my apartment, making changes to the walls is out of my hand, so they are plain white. However, I do have a lime green backsplash (the area behind the kitchen sink). To go along with this, I have a dark purplish-blue bedspread, gray sofa, dark blue bean bag chair, and yellow lanterns hanging around.

❓Did you use bright colors when you were a child?

Absolutely. I was so into it, that I convinced my father to paint each wall in my bedroom a different color. So, I lived in a cube of lime green, light orange, bright yellow, and a medium pink color during my high school years. Looking back, it was quite distasteful!

❓What color would you like to paint your bedroom?

If I could, I would paint my room a light blue. Considering the decorations and furniture I already have, think this would be suitable. Moreover, I think light blue is a cheerful color which could change the environment in my dark apartment.

❓Are there any colors you dislike?

Orange! Especially highlighter orange, like hunters wear. I find that orange doesn’t look good on me. Whenever I wear orange, I feel like a pumpkin!

❓Were colors important to you when you were a child?

They were definitely more important to me than they are now. When I was small, I used to judge objects by their colour, like pink stuff was for girls, while blue things were for boys. As I grew up, I realized that things are a lot more complicated, and that colours don’t matter that much.

❓Do people in your country like to wear bright colors?

I can say no. People in my country are too shy or scared that they will be gotten a load of if they are wearing something eye-catching. They are usually criticized for being attention-seekers or the center of attention.

❓What is the difference between men’s and women’s preference for colours?

Well, as the twenty first century is not leaving any room for stereotyping, there is no significant gender difference nowadays in color preferences. Both prefer to wear either dark or warm colors, and it has been considered as perfectly acceptable.
