What is the Halloween? I have just known there is a Halloween festival in western country, i haven't got any more detail about it untill this 31 October.On the Halloween festival of this year, i have got the knownlege that Ghosts, witches, jack-o-lanterns, black cats, and skeletons are all symbols of the holiday known as Halloween. Celebrated in the United States on October 31, it has become a festival where children dress in costumes and visit neighbors to ask for treats. The origin of Halloween can be traced back to the ancient Celts who inhabited parts of France and Ireland more than 2,000 years ago At the end of the summer these people honored Samhain, who was the lord of the dead. On this day, the high priests of the Celts, or Druids, ordered the people to put out their hearth fires. The Druids then built a huge new bonfire that was considered sacred. Into this new fire they threw crops, animals, and even human sacrifices. Then each family relit its hearth fire from the new year's fire. It was believed that Samhain allowed the souls of the dead to return to roam the earth on this night.
And then i got the reason why a boy ask me to give him a five in front of the school gate when i was going to the library, I felt shame because i didn't known what is his mean, and didn't give hime a five with a 'sorry'.

Hi Riva
Did you DISCOVER why people carve out pumpkins? Or why people give out sweets to children?
I hope you were able to understand the video link on the Halloween post. Listening practice is always a good thing to do!!
You said a boy (how old was he?) asked you to give him 'five'. Five what?? I don't understand. Did you understand what he meant by this?
