This document compares and contrasts superstitions in Hungarian and Turkish cultures. Both cultures believe that walking under ladders, breaking mirrors, knocking on wood, and black cats crossing one's path bring bad luck. They also think four-leaf clovers, horseshoes, and birthday wishes bring good fortune. Some differences are that Hungarians see Friday the 13th as unlucky while Turks think cutting nails at night is unlucky. Both have superstitions related to children's growth and development. Hungarians believe sneezes confirm truths while Turks use evil eye beads for protection.

“Breaking a Mirror Brings Seven Years Bad luck”.
The superstition regarding breaking mirrors goes back to ancient Rome.The Romans were the first to create glass mirrors.They believed the mirror had the power to confiscate a part of the user’s soul.If a person’s reflected image became distorted in any way this could mean a corruption in his or her soul.
"The true reason that breaking a mirror was 7 years bad luck is because when mirrors were first made they were so expensive that if you broke on you would serve 7 years as an indentured servant to the owner of the mirror because not too many people could afford to buy another one to replace it."
Black CATS Crossing your path
As one version of the belief goes, if a black cat crosses your path, bad luck will befall you.
In ancient Egypt, the Goddess Bast was a black, female cat. Christians, wanting to rid society of all traces of other religions, convinced the ignorant that black cats were demons in disguise and should thus be destroyed. In the process, they also destroyed the kindly women who cared for the cats, believing them to be witches.
Being demons, a black cat crossing your path would create a barrier of evil, cutting you off from God and blocking the entrance to heaven.

Following me say about some common bad luck superstition
1,Walking Under a Ladder
according to Christian belief, a leaning ladder formed a triangle with the wall and the ground, that was supposed to represent the Holy Trinity. Walking under such a ladder, was equivalent to violating the Holy Trinity and was supposed to bring bad luck.
2, Breaking a Mirror
According to Roman culture, one's reflection in the mirror was believed to represent one's soul. Hence breaking the mirror or looking into a broken mirror was supposed to bring seven years of bad luck. The bad luck would be over after seven years as the soul was believed to renew itself every seven years.
3, a black cat walking past you,
the black cat is often a symbol of evil so to have one walk pass you is especial ly bad although some people have the opposite view and consider the black cat as a bringer a good fortune or a lucky charm
4, Opening an Umbrella Indoor
Opening umbrellas indoors was supposed to bring bad luck because in olden times, the umbrella was supposed to be used only as a protection against the sun. Hence, opening it indoors was considered as a mark of disrespect to the Sun god.
5, the number thirteen, many people consider this number to be very unlucky,if the thirteen day of the month falls on the Friday then that is considered as an bad day,some people will actually stay at home on this day to as avoid any bad luck or misfortune
6, in china ,the number 4 is considered unlucky because in the chinese language ,4 has a similar sound to the chinese word for death

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
