Star signs & ColourStar signs & Colour

Jurong No. 3 Secondary SchoolWan Xianbin

People in the west have 12 star signs just like Chinese horoscope. A year is divided into 12 different star signs. Some western people believe that people born under the same star sign share similar characteristics. It is very interesting though it’s not true actually.

People who are born between 23rd October and 21st November are Scorpio stars. They have lots of energy and like to keep secrets. But sometimes it’s silly of them not to forgive others for their faults.

Task 1

Can you guess what the star sign between 23rd July and 22nd August is? Yeah, It’s “Leo”. Leo people are generous to others. They are confident and strong. They like to buy nice gifts for friends.

If someone is generous, easy-going and he or she has the abilities of imagination and creation, he or she is born between 20th February and 20th March. We call him or her “Pisces”.

• 1 Simon’s star sign is Leo. This means he is selfish and unconfident.

• 2 Kitty was born on 7th October, so her star sign is Scorpio.

• 3 If someone is born on the first of March, maybe he or she is imaginative and creative.

• 4 All star signs are animals.
