I have always heard that walking under a ladder brings bad luck, but I’ve never thought so .I have walked under ladders many times, but I have never met anything bad before. It’s the damn with black cats. People say if a black cat crosses before you, it means bad luck .I have never thought that until this afternoon But ever since I heard my student Sam’s story .I’ve begun thinking about whether it was true.
This afternoon, Sam was walking down the street thinking about something, so he wasn’t paying attention to where he was going. He walked right under a ladder standing against a building. A black cat ran out of a door just at that moment, and Sam fell over it, his head hit the ladder. A man washing the window was at the top of that ladder and the dirty water went down through the air. Poor Sam! He got wet all over.

At present more and more people like to travel during their holidays. The other day I read a report about the people spend their holidays. It is reported that in recent years several new holiday habits have developed. them, the most interesting one is the growth of holiday camps.
From the report we can see that in 1990, forty percent of people stayed at for their holidays. However, now the percentage has fallen to nine percent. More people go out for fun. People enjoy fresh air, clean water and green hills when they go camping in places far the city. In 1990, thirty-eight percent of people going to the seaside in 2002 only twenty-seven percent preferred to go there. What great changes!
have those changes taken place? I think there are several reasons. Firstly, it’s because people can to travel. Secondly, people prefer to live a high quality and more wonderful life. Thirdly, their to relaxation have changed. Fewer and fewer people want to save money by living a simple life.
