田 Have you ever drunk black tea? We call bljack tea Aoc7o in Japanese. When
ethis word is written in oz太, we think it means red" tea. You may say. "When
Isee たoco in my cup、 it 1ooks り a ).” But people who speak English do not call
tt red" tea、They call it black tea" or Just “tea'. People see the same tea and
they give it different color names in different languages. So it is very
mteresting to study a foreign ]anguage, and it 8 important to learn that people
have different ideas about the same thing. Ar there any other examples of
othis? What is the color of the sun? Japanese children use a red crayon* when
they draw the sun、( 2 ) Japanese people think eit is red. But American
children use a yellow crayon for the sun. So some people think that it is red, but
other people think that it is yellow. Japanese children use yellow for the moon.
Do children in other countries also use yellow for the moon? In some places
children use white.
