Когда я выхожу из дома, то поворачиваю на право. Затем иду прямо. Слева от меня магазин, а с права банк.Перейдя через дорогу, я вижу кинотеатр. Потом иду прямо и вижу церковь. Повернув на право, видно детскую площадку. Я иду вдоль дома и поднимаюсь наверх по лестнице. И я вижу школу.

Turning to the right, one can see the playground. I walk along the house and climb up the stairs. And I see the school.
Superstitions are beliefs that have no rational proof.
There are superstitions for fun, such as finding a four-leaf clover that will bring good luck to you, but most often people hold to superstitions out of fear. This fear is caused by understanding that much of our life is beyond our control — natural disasters, car accidents, or diseases. So people try to do something to attract more good luck. Some of them always carry good luck charms, others do their best not to bring a misfortune upon themselves. I think that these people's life is difficult. They have to remember all those superstitions and proper actions to protect themselves from bad luck. For example, if a black cat crosses their path, they should walk backwards ten steps to avoid bad luck.
I find it very funny and I don't believe in any superstitions.

Суеверия - это убеждения, которые не имеют рациональных доказательств.
Существуют суеверия забавные, такие как четырехлистный клевер, который приносит удачу, но чаще всего люди придерживаются суеверий из-за страха. Этот страх вызван пониманием того, что бОльшая часть нашей жизни находится вне нашего контроля — стихийные бедствия, автомобильные аварии и болезни. Поэтому люди пытаются что-то делать, чтобы привлечь больше удачи. Некоторые из них всегда носят талисманы, другие делают все возможное, чтобы не навредить себе. Я думаю, что этим людям трудно живется. Они должны помнить все эти суеверия и соответствующие действия для защиты от невезения. Например, если черная кошка перебежит им дорогу, они должны пройти десять шагов спиной вперед, чтобы избежать неудачи.
Я нахожу это очень забавным, и я не верю ни в какие суеверия.
