sábado, 30 de outubro de 2010

31st October is Halloween -traditionally the date when people believed that evil spirits were very active. Nowadays, Halloween is celebrated with fancy dress parties and, particularly in the USA, "Treat or Treating". Children dress up as witches, wizards, ghosts and monsters and go round to their neighbours' houses, saying "Trick or treat". The neighbours must give them a treat, usually some kind of sweet. If they don't, the children will play a trick on them - for example - stick down the doorbell with stick tape so that it rings continually. Trick or Treating is now becoming popular in the UK.

Happy Halloween

Halloween is on 31st October. It's a night of ghosts and vampires!
What do British people on Halloween?

Children make pumpkin lights. A pumpkin is a big, orange vegetable. They cut a face in the pumpkin. They put the pumpkin lights in their window.
There are parties. Children play Halloween games. They must take an apple from a bowl of water with their teeth - it's difficult!
Children wear scary clothes. They are ghosts, witches or vampires! When it's dark, children go to houses. The people in the house give them sweets.

Many people love Halloween - but some don't like it. They say it's a scary tradition. What do you think?
