Halloween is a strange holiday. It started several centuries ago in Europe.
It began as “Hallow Evening” meaning “holy night”. At that time November 1st
was called “All Saints’ Day” and people honoured all the saints who did not have
their own special day. People believed that all the spirits of dead people were
active on the night of October 31st. So people would play all sorts of tricks on
each other.6
Black is one of the traditional Halloween colors, probably because Halloween
festivals and traditions took place at night. Pumpkins are a symbol of Halloween,
so orange has become the other traditional Halloween color. Making lanterns out of
pumpkins is a Halloween custom.
Halloween is great fun for children. They dress up as ghosts(鬼),witches(女
巫 ) , Small children go “Trick-or-Treating”. They wear costumes, knock on
doors, and shout, “Trick or Treat!” People almost always choose to give them
candies as a treat, instead of choosing to receive a trick from the children. Adults
sometimes “trick or treat” their friends, too. Usually the “treat” is a glass
of wine or some small gifts.

Dear Tom,
I’m very glad to tell you something about Spring Festival.
It’s a traditional festival in China. It comes in winter.
It’s time to get new. We usually clean and decorate our house carefully before
it comes. I always help my mother clean the windows and wash the clothes. We put
on chunlian on the doors and chuanghua on the windows.
It’s time to get together. Everyone go home to get together with their families,
though someone is far away from home. They must have dinner together on that day.
They must visit their relatives and friends and say “Happy new year” to them. When
the kids greet their grandparents, they can get pocket money.
Yours,
Li Lei
