ЗАДАНИЯ The Superstitions in Britain
There are many superstitions in Britain. But one of the most popular is that it is unlucky to open an umbrella in the house. It will either bring misfortune to the person that opened it or to the household. The person who opens an umbrella in fine weather is very unpopular. It's very unlucky to walk under a ladder. If you must pass under a ladder you can avoid bad luck by crossing your finger and keeping them crossed until you've seen a dog.
The number 13 is said to be unlucky for some. And when the 13th day of the month falls on a Friday, many of the people prefer to stay at home.
The worst misfortune that can happen to you is breaking a mirror. That will bring you seven years of bad luck. This superstition is supposed to have originated in ancient times, because mirrors were considered to be tools of the gods. And at last there is a superstition of touching wood for luck. This measure is most often taken if you have said or done something wrong or stupid.

Now I am at school. My holiday is over. Сейчас я в школе. Мои каникулы закончились. I spent my holiday very well. I went out with my friends, read, listened to music, watched TV, played computer games. Я провела каникулы очень хорошо. Я гуляла с друзьями, читала, слушала музыку, смотрела телевизор, играла комп. игры.  I spent some weeks in a summer cottage with my grandparents. I helped my grandpa to dig the garden, to water plants, and to gather fruit and vegetables.Несколько недель я провела в деревне у бабушки. Я капать огород, поливать растения, собирать овощи и фрукты.  Also I was fishing with my grandpa. I enjoyed floating by boat, swimming in the river and helping my grandparents. Также я ходила на рыбалку с дедушкой. Мне понравилось плавать на лодке, плавать в реке и моим родным.  Some days I was in the Crimea. It was a great time. I swimmed, walked by seaside, and visited many sights. Несколько дней я была в Крыму. Было классно. Я плавала, гуляла по побережью и посела достопримечательности. During my summer holidays I made many new friends, read a lot of interesting books, got to know a lot of useful things. Now I feel ready to get back to school. I am happy to meet my friends and teachers. Во время каникул у меня появилось много новых друзей, я прочитала много интересных книг, узнала много интересных вещей. Сейчас я готова к учебе.
