Blind (adjective) & Roller Blinds (noun)

Visually impaired & Window Covers

Inglês Conversação Geral Todos os níveis

"Blind" is not the only word in English which has different meanings and uses as well. In general, "blind" is used in texts that are related to disabilities and people's eye problems. "Blind" is also repeated frequently in the popular saying: 'Love is Blind."

 

    

 

Then "blind" in this context is used as an adjective. Can you write other examples with this adjective at the bottom of this post?

 

However, "blind" can also be a noun and looking at the pictures below you can see three different types of modern roller blinds. Instead of buying curtains to decorate or keep out the sunlight inside the flats and houses, "roller blinds" are very useful and they can be cheaper than curtains or drapes! What do you prefer to have in your bedroom: curtains or roller blinds?

P.S: How many blind singers and composers can you name? Why are they so famous? Have you heard of Maria Theresia Von Paradis? If you haven't, watch this recent flick: Mademoiselle  Paradis and click on the link below the flick poster to read about this Austrian Pianist, ok? She rocked !

I Loved The Story About This Austrian Lady, I Truly Appreciate Her Sacrifice To Keep Playing The Piano. She Had A Very Hard Life, She Deserved More Than Just Being A Normal Person, So She Decided To Be A LEGEND. She Was Blind But She Could Master The Pianos Art.

Well, Maria Theresia didn't want to see because she was abused when she was 3 years old ? I doubted it. She must have had some disease which could not be diagnosed in those years. She accepted to be blind and invested in her music !! She had some doctors but the only one who had a little success with her was Dr Mesmer who hypnotized her.
I didn't know that roller blinds are some kind of curtains. I like them and I have several roller blinds in my apartment.
