First Presentation : About Number 13

~Assalamualaikum~

Hi there,

It’s me ella, guess what, I’ll tell you about my topic on my first presentation. My topic on that day is about number 13, actually it’s more to unlucky number 13.

When I said number 13, maybe some of you think that number is a date or whatever.

The number 13 is considered an unlucky number in some countries. There’s an old superstition that says if you have 13 letters in your name, you’re bound to have the devil’s luck. Ahaks, that person must be extra careful now on. Haha.

And I’ve did some research, knowing that Friday the 13th is very unlucky and bad day, even today some people will not go out on this day. So for this year, “Friday the 13^th” falls on 13^th December 2013. If you guys want to test your luck, it might be the best date, I think. Hahaha

Number 13 consists the number 1 and 3, when both number are added, it’s equal to 4, the number four in Chinese nearly to the word ‘death’. Due to that, many numbered product lines skip the ‘4’.

For example,some buildings do not have a 4th floor. (Compare with the Western practice of some buildings not having a 13th floor because 13 is considered unlucky)

Weird huh?

But in Hong Kong, some high-rise residential buildings omit all floor numbers with “4” but not having a 13th floor.

Down there is a pictures, show the lift’s button in a building somewhere around China. As you can see, the missing number are number 4, 13 and 14.

That’s it from me sharing about number 13. Although it’s little bit a boring topic, like daa~

but still, it got some info in it.

Till we meet again. Bye-bye
