NAME:_______________

DATE________________

A Read the text

In the USA, people celebrate Halloween on 31 October every year. They all wear special clothes: white for witches and white for ghosts, for example.

In the evening, they go out into the streets and knock on people’s doors. When the people open the door they shout: “Trick or treat!” and they give them some sweets, chocolate or apples, that’s the treat. If they don´t, they put grass and stones through the letterbox, that’s the trick. People usually give them the treat. Some people make lamps out of pumpkins and put them on their windows at night.
