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
