Hello, English4All students! 😊 Let’s talk about today’s conversation topic: «Do you believe in luck?» This is a fun question that invites people to share their thoughts on whether they think luck exists or not. It’s a great way to learn about different perspectives and cultural beliefs! 🌍

What does the question mean?

The question «Do you believe in luck?» is asking if you think luck is real, and if you think it has any influence over what happens in our lives. Luck is usually thought of as random events or good fortune that help you or give you an advantage, even if you didn’t control it.

For example:

• 🍀 You find $10 on the ground. Was it just coincidence, or are you lucky?
• 🎲 When playing a game, you roll the dice and get the perfect number. Was it skill, or did luck play a role?

Some people might say that luck exists and has helped them in certain situations, while others might believe that everything depends on our actions, not on luck.
