Hi everybody! could you help me to correct it?
Do “lucky number” really bring good lucky? It can be given different answers when this question is asked to different people though it is not a complex topic.
Maybe you figure it is an awkward or unvalued question which is written by me but don’t you think it is a general one?
Some people maintain that they can get benefit from the lucky number, as 6, 8, etc. So we can see a phenomenon, such as some people’s telephone number is 6688 which is bought by a high price, and we hardly to find a number of 13 around of us, which has going on for decades.
Personally, it is not very important to me for I don’t think a lucky number can I become a lucky dog. It is just my personal viewpoint which may be not perfect.

Ditto mia.
Are you just asking us if we believe in lucky numbers, or are do you want us to point out some of the grammar errors in what you've written?
I don't have time right now, but if it's what you want, I will come back and try to help later.

Lucky numbers are not as important as proper grammar.

He's from Beijing, and I think he just wants his paragraphs corrected grammar wise.

Firstly, let me say that I think you expressed your mind perfectly well in your little paragraph! There were some mistakes, yes, but I knew what you were talking about the whole way through. I've taken the liberty of re-arranging what you've written. Remember - this is not the ONLY correct way to write it, but it is ONE way... :
Do “lucky numbers” really bring good luck? The question has many different answers for many different people, though it is really not a complex topic.
Maybe you think the question is awkward or unimportant, but isn't it valid?
Some people maintain that certain numbers (such as 6 or 8 etc) help them benefit in life, and so we can see a phenomenon where people purchase a telephone number -like 6688 - at a high price. And there was hardly a number 13 around us. This has been going on for decades.
Personally, it is not an issue for me, since I don’t think a number can be with or without luck. It is just my personal viewpoint - which may or may not be perfect.
