 1. “TALKING ABOUT SUPERTITIONS”

In different countries there is talk of a series of different situations that cause bad
luck, for example in Russia if a bird defecates on us or on our car it is an act of good
luck, it means that we will have a good day or a good year with great blessings.

STEP 2 - READING ACTIVITY

a- What are some recommendations to visit Bangkok?

To visit Bangkok we must be happy, with an open mind to live beautiful adventures, be willing to be
traveling by rivers because they are the fastest way to transport us in this city.

b- What is the fastest way to get around in Bangkok?

To move around this beautiful city, we must accommodate ourselves to be traveling through the rivers, it
is the easiest way to transport us there since if we do it in another way we will be stuck in traffic for
hours.

c- Where can you find the best Chinese and Thai restaurants and food stands in Bangkok?

The best places to eat are definitely the street, according to the text, there the most famous and delicious
foods of the city are sold and they are also at a very good price.

d- Why is water one of the best ways to move around Thailand?

Water is one of the best ways to move around this great city since thanks to this type of transport we will
learn part of the history of this city and its ancient temples, aside from the fact that it is a very good means
of transport.

e- Why does the author say you can eat everywhere?

When the author tells us that we can everywhere in this city, he means that the sale of food is on the street
and you can get it at all times, it is also very delicious.

f- What would you add to a guide destination like this? Mention 2 different items that you
consider necessary to keep in mind.

For foreigners like us in one of these cities, I would add the order and functioning of hospitable places
and how they could treat us in case of a medical emergency, I think this point is very important since the
change in climate and food could cause us discomfort that might even need a doctor.
