Introduction

We can see a rainbow in the sky when the sun is shining and it is raining.

I like a rainbow. A rainbow looks like a miracle because it is very colourful.

It's a huge arch of colours in the sky.

Whenever it rains and the sun shines, I hope to see this beautiful band of

colors in the sky, and the sight of one never fails to cheer me up. Personally, I

believe rainbows are a symbol of hope, and the meaning associated with each color

adds more significance to this colorful band.

My research. The different nations have different numbers of colours of

the rainbow

My subject of study is

to find out how many colours of rainbow have different nations.

My aim is

to learn how people of different countries see

the rainbow and to compare with the vision

of Russian people

What is the rainbow?

Do you know how the rainbow looks like? Have you ever had a chance to

see it? Did you like it? Do you think it’s a miracle or just the science? As a matter

of fact, this appearance is nothing but a habitual Nature’s trick. We see a rainbow

when both it’s raining and it’s shining. Water from rain makes white sunlight

become many-colored. It always shows up mainly opposite the Sun. That’s the

way a rainbow appears.

As a rule a rainbow is circular and very colorful.

The main colours of the rainbow

Have you ever counted the colors of a rainbow? How many are there? Only

three, seven or ten? Can you guess?

If you said SEVEN – well done! Can you tell them? What’s the first one?

The most visible when you look at a rainbow. Of course it’s red. What’s the next

one? Sure, it’s orange! Have you noticed the tendency? One color is very similar to

following color.

The third color is yellow! We see it clearly watching a rainbow, doesn’t we?

Color number 4 is green and number 6 is blue. Can you guess what the next one is?

The next two colors remind you of blue - indigo and undoubtedly violet. All colors

gradate into one another. Therefore, we observe this miraculous natural

appearance.

напрасно»).

Red

This is the first or the topmost color in a rainbow

The color red first brings to mind the idea of love. This is the color of energy and

enthusiasm.

Orange

Orange is the second color in the rainbow, from the top. The color orange is a

combination of red and yellow. It symbolizes a lot of energy and wisdom. Orange

is a very warm color,

Yellow

The third color in a rainbow from the top is yellow. It represents the color of the

sun. This is known to be full of energy. Yellow also means something bright and

happy

Green

Green is the fourth or the middle color in a rainbow. The color green is formed

with the merging of yellow and blue. The color green symbolizes harmony,

balance, growth, and good health.

Blue

The fifth color from the top in a rainbow is the color blue. Think blue and you

think of the oceans and the sky. It brings peace and understanding.

Indigo

The second color from the bottom in a rainbow is indigo. It symbolizes wisdom,

intuition.

Violet

The last or the lowermost color in a rainbow is violet. This color is a combination

of the colors red and blue. It symbolizes love for humanity.

The different nations have different numbers of colours

of the rainbow

 For example:

 the Japanese rainbow has six colours because there is no green colour

in Japanese.

 The English people count also six colours in the rainbow. There is no

blue colour in the rainbow.

 In China the rainbow has five colours:black, white, red, something

between blue and green,yellow.

 In Africa the rainbow has two colours: dark and light.

 In Russia people can see seven colours of the rainbow, may be

because

 7 is a magical number.

 There are 7 colours in a rainbow.

 There are 7 days in a week.

 There are 7 notes in music.

 There are 7 wonders of the world.

Conclusion

People of different countries see different numbers of colours of the rainbow.

Russian people can see seven colours in the rainbow, more than other people in

different countries
