Types of Color

Today I'm going to post about the different types of colors that are available all over the chromatic gamma.
Red, yellow and blue are the primary colors. Primary colors are the most basic colors. You can't make them by mixing any other colors. Orange, green and purple are the secondary colors. A secondary color is made by mixing two primary colors. For instance, if you mix red and yellow, you get orange.

The Color Wheel

A color wheel shows how colors are related. On a color wheel, each secondary color is between the primary colors that are used to make it. Orange is between red and yellow because orange is made by mixing red with yellow. What goes between secondary colors and primary colors? Intermediate, or tertiary, colors are made by mixing a primary color with a secondary color that is next to it. Red-orange, yellow-orange and yellow-green are some intermediate colors.
Well now, I'm gonna show you a some charts with all types of colors you will see, they're not the basic colors, not the primary and not the secondary, they're many groups of each color with other variants, like these.

TYPES OF RED:
TYPES OF ORANGE:
TYPES OF YELLOW:
TYPES OF GREEN:
TYPES OF BLUE:
TYPES OF VIOLET/PURPLE/FUCHSIA:
TYPES OF PINK/PEACH:
TYPES OF BROWN:
TYPES OF TAN:
TYPES OF WHITE:
TYPES OF GREY:
AND TYPES OF BLACKS:
Well, did you like all the interesting color varieties, or not? Leave a comment to know your opinion.
And before I end, I would like to share the inspirational quote that I've got missing.
And this quote means for me: 
Everyday, eat a big breakfast or eat enough breakfast, have a snack before and after lunch, have your lunch measuring portions, and have dinner with the least possible amount or discard dinner, because you'll need to sleep early.

Well that's all, I hope you liked my post.

Informal Contractions/Word of the day

Informal contractions are short forms of other words that people use when speaking casually. They are not exactly slang, but they are a little like slang.

Please remember that these are informal contractions. That means that we do not use them in "correct" speech, and we almost never use them in writing. (If you see them in writing, for example in a comic strip, that is because the written words represent the spoken words or dialogue.) We normally use them only when speaking fast and casually, for example with friends. Some people never use them, even in informal speech.

It is probably true to say that informal contractions are more common in American English.

Also note that, unlike normal contractions, we do not always use apostrophes (') with informal contractions when written.



Also i found this new word for me and i like it so much. Have a nice weekend ;)

Hi everybody!

Honestly I don't know what was I supposed to do this week, so I decided to make this really nice and artistic image with the quote of the day. Yes, I made it. Hope you can understand it and like it, feel free to share with your friends or whatever because anyway the quote is not mine.

Sorry not sorry for not bringing a video this time.


BATMAN AND AUXILIARY VERBS.



The crossover is finally here! 
The waiting was totally worth it.

We had some fun recording this under pressure because CameraBoy needed to go to work and... He was late anyway. LOL. 


We're sorry about the noises and the background sounds, we were recording at  a coffee shop. There is also missing parts in the video so I replaced it with audio and text. 
Blogging with Batman was kind of difficult, I mean, I was nervous as hell... He's intimidating. But we made it hoping you enjoy it, because we did enjoy it when we recorded. (Did you see what I did there? (I did it again!)).

-Mariana ft. Batman... I mean Antonio.
Hey guys, today I'm going to post about:



What are good manners?


Courtesy, politeness or having good manners are all about respecting others and yourself.
How would you feel if someone:
  • talked to your friend but turned his back to you?
  • pushed you out of the way to get the seat you were about to sit on?
  • let the door slam in your face as you were about to walk through it?
  • shared your things but never shared anything of theirs?
  • never said 'please' or 'thank you'
  • didn't pass your phone message to your friend?
Good manners is about considering the feelings of other people, and being the kind of person that others will like and respect.
In the 'olden days' children were taught about the Golden Rule - "Always do to others as you would wish them to do to you if you were in their place."


This is still a good way to behave nowadays. If you are respectful to others, then you are more likely to be treated with respect by them.
If you show good manners everywhere you go, then you are more likely to encourage others to behave in the same way towards you.
Look at the following ideas from kids and see if you can think why they chose these examples of good manners.

What good manners look like at home

  • sharing
  • Being helpful to others in your home.
  • Saying 'please' and 'thank you'.
  • Sharing and not grabbing and keeping good things to yourself.
  • Respecting other people's property and their rooms.
  • Helping the family by doing your chores.
  • Cleaning up after yourself.

Manners at school

  • Saying good morning/afternoon if you are walking past an adult who you know.
  • Asking if you can borrow something, not just taking.
  • Returning things that you have borrowed.
  • Waiting your turn before you speak.
  • Saying 'excuse me,' rather than pushing past someone.
  • Holding the door open for the person coming in, especially if he is carrying something.
  • Respecting your own and other people's property, especially school property.
  • Saying 'please' and 'thank you'.
  • When you are out

    If you are out with other kids...
    • Respect other people.
    • Be polite to others.
    • Don't use bad language in public - it is offensive to others.
    • Let an older person have your seat on buses, trains and trams if there is nowhere for them to sit.
    • Queue up quietly and don't push.
    • Put your rubbish into bins, don't leave it for someone else to clean up.
    • Have fun but don't be so loud that you attract the wrong kind of attention.
    • Respect property.
    • Don't make fun of anyone - everyone has feelings.
    • Don't run in shopping centres or where there are other people.
    • Spend time talking and listening to the people you are with - don't talk on your mobile plone when you are with other people.
    If you are out with your parents or other adults...
    • Use your good manners so that you don't embarrass anyone.
    • Introduce any friends you meet to the people you are with.
    • Say 'please' and 'thank you'.
    • Don't be a 'canna'. ("canna have this?" and "canna have that?")
    • At the table

      • Wait until everyone has been served before you eat.
      • Use your knife to cut and your fork to put the food in your mouth.
      • Chew food with your mouth closed.
      • Ask for things to be passed to you, don't lean over the table.
      • If you need to blow your nose, excuse yourself and go out of the room first.
      • Don't grab everything you want first - help others to get their food and be prepared to share.
      • Don't talk with your mouth full. It is not a good look!
      • When you are using a phone
        • Negotiate with your family for length of time on the phone so that one person doesn't use the phone for hours, making it difficult for anyone else to use it. This is especially important if your internet access uses the same line.
        • If you have a mobile, don't text or call someone when you're with a friend unless you first ask if your friend minds.
        • If you get a call, say "excuse me" and move away from others to answer it, then make it a quick call. (How would you feel if you were just standing around while your friend was chatting away?)
        • Check out our topic Mobile phones are great - aren't they.
        • Dr Kim says:

          Dr KimIn the 'olden days' children were 'seen but not heard!' Nowadays kids can go almost anywhere but some are not always welcome!
          Having good manners makes you a pleasant person to be around.
          OK, it may be fun to have a farting or burping competition with your mates, but pick your time and place so that others are not offended! You may have more relaxed manners at home, but when you are outside or you have visitors it is up to you to give a good impression of yourself, your school, your sports team, your group and your family. Behaving badly doesn't just give a bad impression of yourself.
          Anyway, how much more pleasant is life when people show that they respect the comfort, feelings and wellbeing of others?
          Thank you for reading this.
