DIDACTIC UNIT 2. 5TH COURSE. HALLOWEEN. READING
What do you know of Halloween?
Read the following text:
In America and Britain,
there are special celebrations on the night of the 31st October.
It´s the night before All Saint´s Day and it is called Hallowe´en. The name comes from “All
Hallows” (an old name for All Saint´s Day) and “evening”. It is traditionally a
night of magic, when all the ghosts and witches and warlocks (male witches)
come out, so now people dress up in scary costumes and have parties.
Hallowe´en is a big
occasion in America. Kids play “Trick or Treat”. They dress up as ghosts and
witches and knock at people´s doors and say “Trick or Treat”. The people in the
house must give
them a “treat” (a sweet or small present”. If they don´t, the
kids play a trick on them! During Hallowe
´en people make lamps out of
pumpkins
