invested in amulets as protection against evil spells. Prehistoric amulets representing fertility and
animals have been found near some of (1. old)
known human remains dating back to 25,000 B.C.

from the breast of a bird is believed to make wishes come true to the person lucky enough to hold the (3. large)

Why are horseshoes believed to be lucky?
In 1700, Henri Misson, a Frenchman visiting Britain, asked villagers why they had
horseshoes nailed above their doors. They said that it was to keep witches away. Horseshoes are
made of iron and the strength of the iron was thought to protect from evil. Still today they are
thought to bring good luck and many brides carry silver ones at the wedding. The position of the
horseshoe is very important. It must point upwards like a cup so that the luck cannot fall out. Notes:  horseshoe (n) = móng ng a ự ; nail (v) = đóng đinh  evil (n) = tai ư ng, t ơ ai ho ; ạ witch (n) = m phù t ụ huỷ T F
