superstition

My friend and I wanted to choose a new phone number for her. I like phone numbers that end with (the letter) '7292' because I like the number '2'. But she prefers '0917' because '17' is pronunced like 'going to stand up' (要起) in Chinese -a lucky symbol. And then, she asked the shop assistant secretively whether the shop had internet access, as/because she wanted to check something. The shop assistant took her to a computer. I was very curious about what she wanted to look for on the internet. She told me that there was a website which could predict whether the number was lucky (吉祥) or not. Finally, she chose her '17', because the website said the number which I chose was a litte ominous（凶）.

I think it is ridiculous, but many people have superstitious beliefs(it is not just 1 belief. they have befliefs). I am also a little superstitious, I believe in astrology but not very much.

Very good work :)

problem 1: remember to add 's' for plural

problem 2:   i read/you read/we read/they read    he/she reads
