I have a very good friend. His (her) name is ... Friends are very important in our life. I think one cannot live without friends. The most important thing for being good friends, to my mind, is to be ready to help one another in any situation, nevertheless how difficult it is, to support one another and to solve all the problems together. And never mind, that the friends may have different interests and hobbies, different likes and dislikes. They say that the friend in need is a friend indeed. I think it is really so.
My friend and I always do our best to help one another. We discuss all our troubles and try to find the best decision in any situation. My friend is a very good, kind and clever boy (girl). We often spend our free time together. It is not very easy now, because both of us are very busy — we are going to enter institutes and have a lot of work to do.
1. What may happen, the luck or unluck, if a black cat will cross your way? (Что может произойти, удача или неудача, если чёрный кот перебежит вам дорогу?) 2. Why the russians are so superstitious? (Почему русские так суеверны?) 3. Who is a brownie and where does he dwell? (Кто такой домовой и где он обитает?) 4. What the russians do to brush away the unluck and evil ghosts, knocking by wood or splitting through the left shoulder three times? (Что русские делают, чтобы отогнать неудачу или злых духов, стучат по дереву или плюют через лечо 3 раза?) 5. What will bring the luck, seeing the black cat or pig on the street? (Что принесёт удачу, если увидишь чёрную кошку или свинью на улице?) 6. What kind of flowers cannot be given as gift? (Какие цветы нельзя дарить?) 7. What a source of russians' strange superstitions? (Откуда произошли странные суеверия русских?) 8. Are there any superstition in other countries as similar as in Russia? (Есть ли в других странах такие же суеверные обычаи, как в России?)
