Q:
Qual é a diferença entre good fortune e good luck ?
A:
There isn’t a difference really. Just two different ways of saying the same thing. We use ‘good luck’ much more often if we’re wishing someone luck. We would rarely use ‘good fortune’ in an every day sentence and you wouldn’t say it by itself. For example you can just say ‘good luck’ to someone but if you were to use ‘good fortune’ you would have to say something like ‘I wish you good fortune’ but that is way too formal and would come across a bit weird.

"Fortune cookies are a type of sweet, typically sold in Chinese restaurants, which look like twisted dice. When you crack one open, you will find a slip of paper which has your fortune printed on it."
I think typically fortune cookies are not sold in Chinese restaurants (I've never bought one) but are provided for free at the end of your meal.
How do they look like "twisted dice"?

When you crack *one* open. "it" would imply a specific one.
"sheet of paper" → "slip of paper". A "sheet" of paper gives an image of a whole piece of paper, which would be quite a bit larger than what is found in fortune cookies.
"inside it" → "on it". The fortune is printed "on" the paper, not "inside" it.
