Anna: Oh my god! I can't believe it! What am I going to do?

Lisa: What's the matter?

Anna: I have broken my mirror.

Lisa: Oh, honey! There is nothing to worry about. It isn't very expensive.

Anna: Are you kidding me? That's not the point!

Lisa: I don't understand you.

Anna: Well! Breaking the mirror is bad luck, don't you know about that?

Lisa: You don't say! So, what now? You wouldn't get that job, would you?

Anna: I don't know. I am really worried about my interview now.

Lisa: Come on! I understand everything, but do you really believe that a broken mirror can bring you bad luck?

Anna: Yes, I do. I am very superstitious. I believe that different things or even events can bring me good or bad luck.

Lisa: Let me cleanse your aura.

Anna: That's not funny.

Lisa: Sure, sorry! Please, don't worry and don't be nervous. I think superstitions are all a load of rubbish. Do you know that they aren't logical and have no scientific explanations? I broke plenty of mirrors and walked under the ladder all the time and everything was good. I even live with a black cat. Keep calm!

Anna: I think you are right! I worked so hard to get this job. I will pass the interview.

Lisa: Definitely, you will!
