Suggested answer:
Dearest Diana,
Hope you're well! That will be an interesting presentation! I know a few superstitions that I will share with you. Firstly, it is extremely unfortunate if you break a mirror. This is because, the British believe you will have bad luck for seven years! Other than that, I've read that the Irish believe that a pot of gold is hidden at the end of every rainbow. However, to find it, you have to catch a leprechaun first! Another superstition I've heard is, you should touch wood if you don't want anything bad to happen after you have said it. Even I practise this sometimes! I hope you take all of this with a pinch of salt. That's all from me. I would love to hear how the presentation goes. Take care!
Your pal,
Lisa
