5. Warm-up
Dear students, respected guests!
In today’s lesson we will examine another part of human condition.
Together we will enter the world of superstitions.
The word “Superstition” means “the irrational or absurd belief or fear that
something we do or say may cause an event to occur that will affect us in the
future.
There are two types of superstitions. Good fortune or good luck and bad
fortune or bad luck.
The word “superstition” comes from the ancient language of Latin and literary
means “stand over”.
It would be true to say that most cultures around the world have their own
particular superstitions and beliefs and many of them have been around for
thousands of years and some are still around to this very day.
A person who believes in superstitions can be described as “superstitious”.
They really do believe something will happen to them if they do or say something
in a certain way.
Warm Up.
