Questions: What do you already know about Halloween?

 Read the article below and then answer the questions.


What is Halloween?
Halloween is a traditional celebration that
began in Europe hundreds of years ago. At that
time, some people believed that ghosts of dead
people visited living people. Nowadays it is a
special day in several countries around the world,
but it is perhaps most popular in Canada and the
United States. It always falls on the same date every
year: October 31. Around this time, people like to
tell scary stories and watch horror movies. In the
evening on October 31, children wear costumes.
These are clothes that make them(1) look like
interesting animals, monsters or people. They might
be very funny or they might be quite scary. The
costumes often include a face mask or some make-
up painted on the person’s face. For example, on
Halloween you might see a dinosaur or an elephant,
a witch with a tall, black hat, or maybe even a
ghost. Children then go from house to house and
ask for candy by saying, “Trick or treat?” Many
older kids and adults also put on costumes and go to
Halloween parties. Jack - o’ lanterns are very
common during this time. A lot of people like to put
them(2) in their windows or just outside their doors.
They are pumpkins with lights inside and faces cut
into them. In Mexico, a similar traditional
celebration is called ‘The Day of the Dead’ – family
and friends come together for three days to pray for
and remember people who have died. Most people,
both young and old, have a lot of fun on Halloween.
