The Taditional Halloween

Halloween originated as a celebration connected with evil spirits. Witches flying on broomsticks with ghosts, goblins and skeletons have all evolved as symbols of Halloween. Bats, owls and other nocturnal animals are also popular symbols of Halloween. They were originally feared because people believed that these creatures could communicate with the spirits of the dead.

Black cats are also symbols of Halloween and have religious origins as well. Black cats were considered to be reincarnated beings with the ability to divine the future. During the Middle Ages it was believed that witches could turn themselves into black cats. Thus when such a cat was seen, it was considered to be a witch in disguise. All these are popular trick-or-treat costumes and decorations for greeting cards and windows.

Black is one of the traditional Halloween colors, probably because Halloween festivals and traditions took place at night.

Pumpkins are also a symbol of Halloween. The pumpkin is an orange-colored squash, and orange has become the other traditional Halloween color. Carving pumpkins into jack- o-lanterns is a Halloween custom also dating back to Ireland. A legend grew up about a man named Jack who was so stingy that he was not allowed into heaven when he died, because he was a miser. He couldnt enter hell either because he had played jokes on the devil. As a result, Jack had to walk on the earth with his lantern until Judgement Day. So Jack and his lantern became the symbol of a lost or damned soul. To scare these souls away on Halloween, the Irish people carved scary faces out of turnips, beets or potatoes representing "Jack of the Lantern", or Jack-o-lantern. When the Irish brought their customs to the United States, they carved faces on pumpkins because in the autumn they were more plentiful than turnips. Today jack-o-lanterns in the windows of a house on Halloween night let costumed children know that there are goodies waiting if they knock and say "Trick or Treat!"

People celebrate the holiday according to their beliefs and their religious denominations （命名）. Christians commemorate Good Friday as the day that Jesus Christ died and Easter Sunday as the day that He was resurrected （复活）.

Summer can be very hot in southern Taiwan where the temperature usually goes up to 32"C or more. Because of the heat it is a trying experience to go to school or do anything else in a place that is not air-conditioned. Also because of this I stay at home most of the time during the summer vacation and only occasionally go to the beach to plunge myself into the cool water as a way to keep my body less sticky. Actually I like swimming and think nothing is more refreshing than a swim. In the summer vacation that has just ended I went swimming many times with my classmates and we all had a good time. This summer vacation, however, was not spent entirely in seeking fun. As a second-year senior student I had to prepare myself for the college entrance examinations that were only a year away. In other words, I must find time to study, too. So I divided my time between work and play during the summer vacation and derived much benefit from this arrangement.

英语作文二：我的暑假计划

I spent this summer vacation in quite a different way. I used to run about every day in previous summer vacations, but this summer vacation I simply could not afford to do so. I would soon be in the last year of my high-school education and would after graduation be up against the college entrance examinations. Though those examinations were still a year away, I had to start early to make myself well prepared by reviewing all those things I had learned at school and this summer vacation was the ideal time for me to do this. At first I was rather dismayed at the thought of this, but later I thought it was better this way because by working hard this summer I could count on endless happy summers to come. With this in mind I then set to work like anything and only occasionally went out for a change or did some physical. I was not at all bored by this kind of life, for I was sustained by a hope.

我曾经想过在半夜爬起来看圣诞老人到底是谁?不过每次我想起来看时，都爬不起来，因为我一上床就像死猪一样睡得很熟，根本就爬不起来!记得有一年，我的愿望是：1.希望全家人身体健康2.希望家人不要为我担心这一类的愿望……等。

万圣节前夜就是“圣夜”的意思。万圣夜已经变成一年中最流行和最受欢迎的节日之一，许多玩家都以极大的热情来庆祝这一节日。万圣夜在11月1日的前一夜，其实是赞美秋天的节日，就好像五朔节是赞美春天的节日一样。

西方很多民族都在万圣节前夜有庆典聚会，这又被叫做“All Hallow Een”、“The Eve of All Hallows”、“Hallow een”，或者“The eve of All SaintsDay”。最终约定俗成演变成了“Halloween”，中文意译成了万圣节之夜。在西方国家，每年的10月31日，有个“Halloween”，辞典解释为“The eve of All SaintsDay”，中文译作：“万圣节之夜”。万圣节是西方国家的传统节日。这一夜是一年中最“闹鬼”的一夜，所以也叫“鬼节”。华语地区常将万圣夜误称为万圣节。“Hallow”来源于中古英语halwen，与holy词源很接近，在苏格兰和加拿大的某些区域，万圣节仍然被称为“All Hallow Mas”，意思是在纪念所有的圣人(Hallow)那一天，要举行的弥撒仪式(Mass)。

古代高卢、不列颠和爱尔兰的祭司--德鲁伊德有一个赞美秋天的盛大节日，从万圣夜后午夜开始，直至次日11月1日持续整整一天。他们认为，在那天晚上他们伟大的死神--萨曼会把那年死去人的鬼魂统统召来，这些恶鬼要受到托生为畜类的惩罚。当然，只要想到这种鬼魅的聚会，就足以令当时那些头脑简单的愚民胆战心惊的了。于是他们点起冲天的篝火，并严密监视这些恶鬼。

万圣夜到处有女巫和鬼魂的说法就是这么开始的。至今在欧洲某些与世隔绝的地区还有人相信这是真的。如今在整个欧洲，人们都把万圣夜看作尽情玩闹、讲鬼故事和互相吓唬的好机会。于是人们不再把这节日仅仅用来赞美秋光，而是让它变成一场真正的“狂欢”。而脸谱化妆是万圣节传统节目之一。

英语老师姓李，今年51岁，个字不高，穿着朴素。这次见着李老师是到乡镇视导的工作之余。上学期视导时，得知李老师在小学支教，我们聊了一会儿。

这次又到了这个学校，做完手头的工作，就急急地打听李老师是否还在这个学校，校领导说还在，我便小跑着去了李老师的办公室。推开办公室的门，李老师正戴着老花镜看桌上摊开的英语教材。见我进来，李老师激动的迎上来拉住了我的手。落座后，我们开始了回忆。

李老师教我们英语时，尚未婚配，也许是个头不高的缘故，走路特精神，一跳一跳的。李老师和我们学生真的是朋友关系，我们几个女生周末经常找李老师玩，初三成立尖子班后，我和密友马咏梅争着给李老师当英语课代表，尽管我当时也是语文课代表，还兼着班长。咏梅的成绩很是优秀，在这之前也是李老师的课代表。李老师看我们这么热情，干脆让我们俩同时当英语课代表。

李老师结婚后，爱人在外地工作，平时比较寂寞，我们几个女生经常到老师家陪老师说话，晚上还在那睡过觉。

初一时，我的英语成绩总不能考出高分，老是在90分之上95分之下，就去问李老师怎么办，李老师把她的教学参考书拿给我看，我如梦初醒班，但还是没有提高多少。

我们的英语基础很牢固，虽然只有三年的英语学习时间。23年过去了，很多单词和句型结构至今记忆犹新。

很难忘怀的，是业务精良，态度和蔼，待人真诚的老师，无论何时回想起来，学生们都感到很是幸福。

我们的英语老师，不得不说她很幽默。虽然他的年纪有点大了，但是我看她还是像一个天真的孩子似的。但是凶起来，也不是开玩笑的。而且，她也还是一个贤淑的母亲呢！

在上英语课时，有一些同学都会说：这英语课怎么这么慢啊！虽然有时我也会这样想，但是并不多。我知道自己的英语极其的差，所以，我一直在想法子一定要学好英语。每节英语课我都会在听。就算不懂也比没听要好吧！老师在批评别人的时候会非常搞笑，但这只是在某些情况下的。而且老师上课很搞笑，所以，我们学的也很有兴趣。

在上课时，她是以一个像模像样的老师；在课外，她则像是一个天真的孩子。她和我们聊的很投机，笑的很灿烂。

有时，我们确实是太过分了。考试考的一塌糊涂，上课插话不断，作业乱写……使老师在课上大发脾气。我们都会被吓得心惊胆战。但我们还是非常的喜欢，敬重她。

我们在老师家的同学受的特别的照顾噢！我们一直看着老师的生活。她的儿子也是初一。老师对他是照顾有佳。我们可都是看在眼里的。

我们的英语老师，我们所爱的英语老师啊，我们一定会在学习中好好努力的！

when we think of halloween, we think of "trick or treat", pumpkins, jack o lanterns, vampires and haunted houses.

but do you know the origin of halloween? why does it fall on 31 october? what kind of festival is it? why is it so creepy?

halloween dates back to a celtic festival called samhain. november 1 is the new year of the celts, who lived in europe more than a thousand years ago. this is the day which marked the end of summer and harvest.

the celts believed that on the night of october 31, ghosts of the dead would return to earth. the celts celebrated samhain by dressing up in costumes with animal heads and having bonfires.

many celts settled in britain and ireland, where the festival became popular. those who moved to america took the tradition with them.

nowadays, most people celebrate halloween but only for fun. they are not worried about ghosts.

kids in america will dress up as devils or angels and will go from house to house calling "trick or treat", playing mischievous tricks and getting sweets.

americans spend more money on halloween than christmas! in xx, more than hk$45 billion was spent on halloween. and hk$15 billion of that was spent on candy alone!!!

kids in britain also dress up at halloween. they visit houses, sing songs or tell a joke to get sweets. many go to halloween parties and play games like "ducking for apples". you must pick up an apple in water but you can only use your mouth. try it!

the origin of halloween

while there are many versions of the origins and old customs of halloween, some remain consistent by all accounts. different cultures view holloween somewhat differently but traditional halloween practices remain the same.

halloween culture can be traced back to the druids, a celtic culture in ireland, britain and northern europe. roots lay in the feast of samhain, which was annually on october 31st to honor the dead.

samhain signifies "summers end" or november. samhain was a harvest festival with huge sacred bonfires, marking the end of the celtic year and beginning of a new one. many of the practices involved in this celebration were fed on superstition.

the celts believed the souls of the dead roamed the streets and villages at night. since not all spirits were thought to be friendly, gifts and treats were left out to pacify the evil and ensure next years crops would be plentiful. this custom evolved into trick-or-treating.

Days and days past, I’m not a child any longer. But I still remember that Halloween, 31st October XX. That was Saturday. I went to study English with an American girl named Debby as usual.

We had 5 students altogether. Before that week, Debby had already told us to learn something about Halloween ourselves. On that day, Debby spent an hour describing this American festival for us, such as “trick or cheat”, pumpkin and even, she took a pumpkin with her. First she took out a finished pumpkin lantern.

That was really beautiful and ugly, we liked it so much. Then she taught us how to make a pumpkin lantern by ourselves. We each held a small knife, learnt to cut and draw something on that pumpkin. Finally, we made it and put a short candle into it. That was truly happy. And the most surprising thing was that the lantern was a present for that day’s super student. Who will that be? My god! That was me!

Do you know how excited I was then? I held it, jumping and shouting. That was the most unforgettable day to me. And I will not forget it, never!
