TOPIC 27 – NUMBERS

  1. Do you have a favorite number?

Oh yes, definitely. The number I like most is 9. And I think many people also like this number because it brings a lot of luck. And number 9 is associated with new beginnings, self-confidence, and a positive outlook. So I really like it.

  1. What are some important numbers for you to remember?

There are some crucial numbers that I have to remember, like my home address, my phone number, and my ID card number, because they are often used, so it’s really convenient and essential to remember them.

  1. How do numbers affect our lives?

I believe that numbers have a big impact on people’s lives. We use the numbers to quantify the world around us, like measuring time or telling others about our age. Or when you want to buy something, you have to use numbers.

We also use numbers to  know the speed at which you are moving and to understand time and the laws of nature.

Lastly, we use them to  make objects, even to cook; otherwise, without numbers, life would be difficult to appreciate and understand.

  1. If you could choose two lucky numbers, what would they be?

As I mentioned before, I really like number 9, so I would choose it first; the next number is 8. In my country, number 8 represents financial abundance and wealth, inner wisdom, personal power and authority, professionalism, and b

Because of the meanings of two numbers, I see that many people are willing to spend a large amount of money to possess their phone numbers, including many numbers (8 or 9).

  1. Have you ever forgotten an important number?

Oh yes, my mind has been blank several times. Like my husband’s birthday. Last year, I was really busy with my work all day, so I completely forgot that it was my husband’s birthday.

When my husband told me that that day was his birthday, I felt guilty, and I took him to one of the best restaurants near my place to throw a birthday party for him, although it’s quite late.
