Rob: 
Hello, I'm Rob. 
Alice:
And
 
I'm Alice. 
Rob:
And this is 6 Minute English from the BBC. Today we're talking about 
superstitions. 
Superstition
is the belief that certain events can bring good luck 
or bad luck. For example, a lot of people think that the number 13 is unlucky, 
or that you can avoid bad luck if you touch wood. 
Alice:_Mm,_in_fact_people_even_say_touch_wood_if_theyre_hoping_for_something_good_to_happen._Rob'>Alice:
Mm, in fact people even say 
'touch wood'
if they're hoping for something 
good to happen.
Rob:
That's right. So Alice, are you superstitious? 
Alice:
Well I am, a bit. I don't like walking under ladders for example. 
Rob:

animals, and I've got today's question for you. According to British folklore
eggs from which bird are meant to improve your eyesight? 
Is it: 
a)
ducks 
b)
owls 
c)
swans 
Alice:
I'm not sure. I'll guess swans. 
Rob: 
OK, we'll see if you're right at the end of the programme.

already mentioned that people 
touch wood
or 
knock on wood
for luck. So 
could you tell us a few more British superstitions involving nature Alice? 
Alice:
Well one that I can think of off the top of my head is a lucky rabbit's foot. 
Apparently if you carry a rabbit's foot around it will bring you good luck. It's 
what we call a
