Text

A "mood ring" is a large ring worn on one's finger that changes color with one's body temperature. People say that each color "indicates" (shows) the wearer's mood. The rings are sold with a small piece of paper that lists all the colors and their "associated" (corresponding, which color goes with which mood) mood. Mood rings were very popular in the United States in the 1970s, and they are still worn by children and teenagers today.

If a mood ring is black, which is caused by the coldest temperature, it means that the wearer is very "tense" and "stressed out" (under a lot of pressure). If the ring is "slightly" (a little bit) warmer, it "turns" (becomes another color) brown or grey, meaning that the wearer is nervous, anxious, or "fearful" (afraid of something). An "amber" (a golden yellow-brown color) mood ring indicates that the wearer is a little bit nervous or anxious, or "uncertain" (undecided and not sure what to do).

A green ring is the normal color, and indicates that the wearer is calm, not under stress, and not very excited. A blue-green color means that the wearer is more excited, but still "somewhat" (more or less) relaxed. If the ring turns blue, then the wearer is relaxed, calm, and in a good mood. Finally, if the ring turns very dark blue or purple, which is caused by the highest temperature, then it means that the wearer is extremely happy and/or in love with "passionate" (very strong) romantic feelings.

Most Americans don't really believe that a mood ring can indicate the wearer's mood, but they are fun to play with, especially for children and teenagers.
