Superstitions
I am not superstitious，are you？
Yesterday was Friday the thirteenth.
Some people think that Friday the thirteenth is an unlucky day.
I think that it is just like any other day.
Some people believe that if a black cat crosses your path，you will have bad luck
I don't believe that either.
My mother always gets upset if I open an umbrella in the house.
She says that it is bad luck.
She is probably right about that one，because an open umbrella would take up a lot of space and you might knock things over.
If your left hand is itchy，you are supposed to get money.
I have had an itchy left hand before，but I haven't received any money because of it.
It is bad luck to walk under a ladder.
That is probably true，because you might knock somebody off the ladder，or have a can of paint fall on top of you.
If you are acting in a play，it is bad luck if someone says “good luck”to you
This is very confusing.
You are supposed to tell an actor to“break a leg”.
It doesn't mean that you want the actor to break his leg.
It means good luck to the actor.
Actors have a lot of superstitions that are very unusual.
I am not superstitious.
I don't believe in superstitions at all.
It is just fun to learn about superstitions.
Some of them are very old，and have been passed down from generation to generation.
I once did a project at school on superstitions.
It was a very interesting topic，and I got a good mark for it.
