2 А Some people believe that your happiness is in the stars and you can learn a lot about yourself and your future from the lines on your palm. Look at the picture and read the text. You can work in pairs helping each other.
Life line: a long, clear life line, with no breaks indicates a long life and good health. Don't worry if your line is short — look at the top pha¬lange of the thumb; if it is long, it shows a will that is strong enough to overcome health prob¬lems.
Health line: the length of this line is a guide to intelligence. The longer the line is, the more intelligent you are. If the line is high and straight, you are practical and realistic; if it goes down gently, you are imaginative and creative. Heart line: a short, shallow, straight line sug¬gests problems in showing affection. A line that is long and generously curved suggests a loving nature. Intuition line: this line is not always present. If you have it, it means that you have a high degree of intuition.
Sun line: if this line starts at the base of the hand and ends at the base of your ring finger, it denotes prosperity. If it starts at the head line, success will come in the middle years; starting at the heart line, it promises happi¬ness in later life.
Fate line: if the line start at the wrist and continues all the way up, it indicates as a reward for hard work.
Girdle of Venus: if present, it suggest sensitivity and enthusiasm.
Ambition line: the point at which this line separates from the life line shows how early or late in life your ambition will be realized.
В Say if you believe that your life is laid out for you. How much do your happiness and your future depend on your character and your will? Discuss it in class.
