3. • WE CELEBRATE HALLOWEEN EVERY YEAR
ON OCTOBER 31st. THE HOLIDAY
ORIGINALLY COMES FROM A PEOPLE
CALLED THE CELTS. THE CELTS LIVED IN
EUROPE MORE THAN 2000 YEARS AGO. ON
NOVEMBER 1st THEY CELEBRATED THE END
OF SUMMER. THEY THOUGHT GHOSTS
VISITED THE LIVING ON OCTOBER 31st. THEY
DRESSED UP LIKE GHOSTS SO THE SPIRITS
WOULD NOT HARM THEM.

7. • A jack-o'-lantern is a carved pumpkin, turnip or beet,
associated chiefly with the holiday of Hallowe'en, and
was named after the phenomenon of strange light
flickering over peat bogs, called will-o'-the-wisp or jacko'-lantern. In a jack-o'-lantern, the top is cut off to form a
lid, and the inside flesh then scooped out; an image,
usually a monstrous face, is carved out of the pumpkin's
rind to expose the hollow interior. To create the lantern
effect, a light source is placed within before the lid is
closed.
8. • apple bobbing, also known as bobbing for
apples, is a game often played at Halloween.
The game is played by filling a tub or a large
basin with water and putting apples in the
water. Because apples are less dense than
water, they will float at the surface. Players
(usually children) then try to catch one with
their teeth. Use of arms is not allowed, and
often are tied behind the back to prevent
cheating.
9. • Trick-or-treating or guising is a customary
practice for children on Halloween in many
countries. Children in costumes travel from house
to house in order to ask for treats such as candy
(or, in some cultures, money) with the question
"Trick or treat?". The "trick" is a (usually idle)
threat to perform mischief on the homeowners or
their property if no treat is given to them.
