Reading Passage for Final Writing Exam Customs and Superstitions What do you do before leaving your house for a trip or vacation? Most people clean, organize, ensure everything is turned off, or look for last minute items to pack. In Ukraine, however, it is the custom for everyone to sit down and observe one minute of silence before leaving the house. Then, once the journey has begun, it is bad luck to return to the house. If you must return, make sure you look in a mirror before leaving again, and change something about your appearance. Otherwise, you will have a bad journey. Furthermore, when a guest leaves your house, you should not clean until he or she has arrived safely home. Otherwise there is the risk of danger on his or her journey. Other countries also have interesting traditions related to travel. For example, in Colombia, at midnight on New Year’s Eve, it is the custom to take out an empty suitcase and wheel it around the neighborhood. This practice is believed to bring plenty of travel opportunities in the new year. In many countries, unlucky numbers, such as 13, are avoided when choosing dates to travel on; moreover, some hotels may skip 13 when numbering their floors. The number 17 is also considered unlucky in Italy, and some parts of Asia, hotels do not have a fourth floor because the number 4 is believed to be unlucky. Final Essay Prompts (Select One) 1.

Reading Passage for Final Writing Exam Extroverts and Introverts Psychologists divide all people into two groups: extroverts and introverts. Some psychologists argue that such a division is done biologically, and others say it is done culturally. But generally speaking, extroverts and introverts have the following traits. Extroverts get their energy by coming into contact with people and are motivated by fame. Extroverts are famous for making rush decisions and speaking as they think. They have many friends and acquaintances, and they always want to be the leader. On the other hand, introverts prefer to be alone and are motivated by solving problems. They work slowly and they think before they speak. They are less ambitious and prefer to work behind the scenes. They don’t have many friends and prefer to interact with close friends and family. It is important to understand that there are no pure extroverts or pure introverts; however, there is much bias when it comes to categorizing people. For example, being an introvert is very different from being shy. It is not about social judgment but about people’s reaction to social situations such as work, school, or family. So extroverts need much social interaction, whereas the introverts reveal their talents better when they are in a quieter environment. Final Essay Prompts (Select One) 1.
