1. Do you think it is important to talk about them? Why?

I think it superstitions are important to talk about because we can know someidea about how to think of foreign country. It is very interesting isn't it? It is important to know about Japanese superstitions, but also it is important to know about foreign it.


2. Is communication affected by supertitions?

Yes,it is. It may be diffrent from between Japanese mean and American mean. For example, you say Japanese superstition, but it is diffrent mean as American. This may cause a misunderstanding. So, we have to study both Japanese and foreign superstitions.


3. Do you beleave Japanese supertitions? What do they mean to you.

No, I Don't. But I know some superstitions. For example, If you drink milk, you get taller. It is not ture. I like milk so, I drank much milk. But I didn't get taller. And, the fool doen't catch a cought. It is also not ture. If I am tired or grow weak, I catch a cought. So, I don't beleave superstitions.
