纯正英语一分钟-luck

I often wonder¹ how important² luck³ is in my life⁴. I’m not sure if there is a thing called luck. Some people say they are lucky⁵ and others⁶ say they are unlucky⁷. I think everyone in life has good luck and bad luck. Just because someone⁸ loses⁹ something or has an accident¹⁰ doesn’t mean it’s bad luck. An accident is an accident. People who always say they have bad luck are negative¹¹. If they wait, something good will happen in their lives. I do like to wish people good luck though¹². I think it’s a nice thing to say if someone has an interview¹³ or an exam¹⁴. But, people pass exams¹⁵ and interviews¹⁶ because they studied hard or spoke¹⁷ well, not because of luck. In England people think they’ll have seven years of bad luck if they break a mirror. That’s strange¹⁸.
