SOME PEOPLE TAKE MORE CHANCES ON CERTAIN DAYS. DO YOU HAVE A LUCKY DAY?

 Some people believe that certain days of the week or special dates are luckier than others. For example, someone might always schedule a job interview on a Friday or start new projects on the first day of the month. They think these days bring good fortune, so they are more likely to take chances—to try something new, buy a lottery ticket, or ask for something important.

In this lesson, you’ll talk about your routines, beliefs, plans, and past experiences connected to lucky days. You’ll learn how to use present simple, present continuous, past simple, and future with "will" and "going to". You will also practice modals, adverbs of frequency, and comparatives like more likely or less lucky.

Examples:

• I always feel lucky on Mondays.

• She takes more chances on the 7th of each month.

• I’m going to buy a ticket this Friday.

• Last year, I won a prize on my birthday!
