How do I accept the following input?

(list of 0 or more charcters and ends with 3) or   
(list of 1 or more characters 4 and  0 or more characters after 4)

something like

(match ( list 3)) -> #t
(match ( list 1  2 3)) -> #t
(match (list 1 2 3 4)) -> #t
(match (list 1 2 3 4 5)) -> #t
(match (list 4)) -> #f

EDIT: THIS IS NOT MY HOMEWORK. I trying to write something like ELIZA from PAIP but I know only how to write a pattern that begins with a word.
