a lot of things in common.

music, but I can't play the drums, he can't either. I can't
sing, nor can he. However, I can play the guitar very well,
he can too. Also, I like to go swimming. He does too.

are also many differences. For example, he likes eating all kinds of food but I don't; I love
greasy food such as hamburgers and fries. My brother doesn't want to study during the
summer, but I do. Our personalities are different too. I'm sociable and friendly. He is quiet and
doesn't talk much.

3. USING MY SKILLS

A. Read the following text about the origin of superstitions

Superstitions began centuries ago when our

ancestors tried to explain mysterious circumstances
My Soul!
or events as best they could with the knowledge they
had.
For instance, before the development of science
to explain such strange things as why mirrors show
our reflections or why shadows appear when it's
sunny, ancient people reasoned that a shadow or
reflection was a part of their soul.

If someone broke something in which the shadow or

reflection appeared, people believed that their soul was
damaged. Therefore, when a person broke a mirror it was considered unlucky or harmful.
Today we know that reflections and shadows are not part of our souls but if someone still
believes it, it will be bad luck to break a mirror. They are said to be superstitious.
So a superstition is a belief or practice that people still keep on mind despite new knowledge
or facts prove that these beliefs are untrue.

B. Answer the following questions about the reading.

1. What's a superstition?

________________________________________________________________________

If I had any problem, I knew that I
could always go to him to talk it over.

Once he helped me to get over my
disappointment when I didn't make the
soccer team. Another time, he stuck up
for a friend who was falsely accused of
