上海世博会对中国的影响英语作文(汇总20篇)

Recently， a popularserioushot topic es into the eyes of our universal

bodies as the cartoon depicts。 From the picture， we can see that a middle-age

housewife， perplexed and terrified， is picking out her daily diet from a pile of

undesirable things， such as illegal-cooking oil， fruits with excessive pesticide

and the like.

It seems that there are many factors can be mentioned and accounted for

this kind of case， and in my perspective， the followings are the obvious and

have a far-fetching influence. On the one hand， the merchants in an increasing

number are aiming at maximizing their profits with the minimal principal in the

wider ranges of petitive and more open social background。 On the other hand， it

is the inplete system of law that has less supervision of the producing and

processing of modities.

Considering all the points discussed， it is highly sensible that we should

take prompt measures to resolve this problem. In the first place， more bettering

policies should be brought forward.In the second，more moral schooling should be

applied in all munities。 Only by enforcing these measures， can we effectively，

efficiently， and eventually solve the problem.

Every day I will come to my house downstairs garden that buy vegetables,

every time to buy food I will carry a green bag, and I buy food is the most

fresh, the most nutrition, without any pesticide of vegetables.

After buying vegetables, I will go home to cook cooking. I hold accuse the

electric meal bao in the home is from solar power, so that use of low cost, no

pollution to the environment, to adapt to the sustainable development; High

reliability, and does not need complex azuowenry system. I started cooking. My

family is from downstairs stream into electric frying pans hydro power, its low

cost, no pollution, can be continuous regeneration. Can strong effect. Water

dissolving force is big, has great ability of ionization, can make the water

soluble substances in the body exist in dissolved, and the attitude of the

electrolyte ions, help active chemical reactions in the human body, increase the

vigour. After dinner, I go to do my homework.

My home is the LED desk lamp, it can be environmental protection and energy

saving can save 80% of the electricity; More comfortable visibility, provides a

more uniform light and clear images; Long life; Easy to use security. Homework,

Im ready to go outside to play for a while.

I rode my bike and looking at the flowers outside, very beautiful flowers,

colorful; Grass, grass, cui lust flow. His heart alacrity. My bike is very good,

he is very environmental protection, no pollution, can let us save Labour, save

money. In the look at the car outside, energy consumption; The tail car cause

air pollution, global warming; Go out by car, reduces the chance people walking

exercise, affect the body health. Say to say, wed like to keep the car bicycle,

drive a car. I went to bed after I exercise the body.

My bed is very warm, it is because we use heat to keep the bed warm. He

covers an area of small; Dont need to do central heating time saving manpower;

Thermal efficiency is higher, the heat utilization rate of hot water is several

times. Very practical. In my warm bed asleep slowly, slowly fall asleep. This is

my low carbon life, my home!

The way people hold the belief that a fun-filled， pain-free lifestyle

equals happiness actually reduces their chances of ever obtaining real

happiness. If fun and pleasure are equal to happiness，then pain must be equal to

unhappiness. But in fact，the opposite is true： more often than not things that

lead to happiness contain some pain.

As a result，many people avoid the very attempts that are the source of true

happiness.They fear the pain inevitably (不可避免地) brought by such things as

marriage，raising children，professional achievement， religious commitment，

self-improvement.

Ask a bachelor why he resists marriage even though he finds dating to be

less and less satisfying. If he is honest，he will tell you that he is afraid of

making a commitment，for commitment is in fact quite painful. The single life is

filled with fun， adventure and excitement.Marriage has such moments，but they are

not its most distinguishing features.

Couples，with infant children， are lucky to get a whole nights sleep of a

three-day vacation. We dont know any parent who would choose the word fun to

describe raising children. But couples that decide not to have children ever

know the joys of watching a child grow up or playing with a grandchild.

Understanding and accepting that true happiness has nothing to do with fun

is one of the most liberating realizations. It liberates time： now we can devote

more hours to activities that can really increase our happiness. It liberates

money：buying that new car or those fancy clothes to increase our happiness now

seems pointless. And it liberates us from envy：we now understand that all those

who always have so much fun actually may not be happy at all.

“八月十五月儿明呀，爷爷为我打月饼。月饼圆圆甜又香呀，一片月饼一片情呀,爷爷是个老红军呀……”每当听到了这首歌，我就想起了中秋节,每年有很多节日，中秋节是我最欢的节日了。

过中秋节最让人开心的事是“做月饼”了。月饼有很多种类，月饼制作的方法有很多，有的是烘烤制成的，有的是蒸熟的，还有的是冷冻的。月饼的口味非常丰富，各有不同，有很多美味的水果馅，有的是芒果味,有的是苹果味,有的是桃子来，还有的是草莓味……也有很多营养丰富的伍仁月饼，香气诱人的蛋黄月饼，甜甜蜜蜜的莲蓉月饼，还有清新爽口的冰皮月饼。月饼外表有许多美丽的花纹,不同的月饼花纹和造型也各式各样，有可爱的小动物系列，有漂亮的花朵系列，还有苍劲有力的书法系列……

今天是中秋节，下午，妈妈带着我和姐姐一起做月饼。首先，我们用盆子把面粉用水发好，用筷子搅和均匀。等一会拿出来，搓成一个个小面团，把它们放在桌子上，然后再把面团一个一个拍扁，接着再把自己喜欢的馅放在面皮上，馅不要放太多，最后再把馅包起来，将它揉成一个小球，放进自己喜欢的模具里压一下，就做好啦!最后妈妈把刚做好的月饼放进烤箱烘烤15分钟，我们就可以吃到自己亲手做的月饼了!

在我们小区里，小路边，大门前到处挂满了红色的灯笼。灯笼上写着灯迷，小朋友们在争先恐后地猜灯迷,那边，一群小孩在你追我赶地玩游戏，大门广场还有歌表表演呢!

夜幕降临，一轮明月挂在天空，我们一家吃着月饼，看着月亮，我想起苏轼的《水调歌头·明月几时有》“明月几时有?把酒问青天……”

以往，北京上海的一些标志性建筑，大多采用国外专家的设计方案。但这次上海世博会中国馆建筑全部由自己设计。中国馆外观以“东方之冠”的构思主题，表达中国文化的精神与气质。国家馆居中升起、层叠出挑，成为凝聚中国元素、象征中国精神的雕塑感造型主体——东方之冠。世博会期间，国家馆将在“城市、让生活更美好”主题下，展示“城市发展中的中华智慧”，展现出一幅伟大的中国城市文明图。

提示：弘扬民族文化。民族自豪感。要有自我。

High school is regarded as the best time in a persons life. As a senior three student, I will graduate very soon. Now, I have many things to share with you.

Firstly, I would like to show my thanks to those people who help and care about me, especially my teachers, parents and friends Without their help and advice, my life would be different. Secondly, its time to say sorry to classmates whom I hurt or misunderstood.

Communication and smiles act as bridges to friendship. Above all, Ive made up my mind to make an effort to study, for I believe hard work is the key to success. Just as the old saying goes, "no pains, no gains."

Finally I hope that all the younger students can make full use of time, because time and tide wait for no men.

When someone asks me: What is your Chinese dreamI will answer it without thinking twice: to be a good doctor. The reason why I want to be a doctor is that I want to save people’s lives as possible as I can. When I was young, I had a terrible care accident. Thanks to the doctors, they brought me back to life. From then on, to be a good doctor has always been an inspiration to me. I will study hard to make sure that my dream will come true in the future.

Chinese dream is made up of every ordinary people’s dreams. We should do our best to make ourdream come true.

Recently we had a class meeting on the topic of My Chinese Dream. Inspired by President Xi’s Chinese Dream, everyone talked about his understanding of the Chinese Dream. We all believe that this dream will come true in the future.

I also talked about my own dream. I have always wanted to be a doctor. Not only can doctors save people’s lives but also they are doing a respectable job. Doctors can also help people to live a better life with their professional knowledge.

To realize my dream, I must try to work hard from now on. I must learn as much as I can so that I can get into a good medical college, where I

can prepare myself hard for the job of a doctor. Only in this way can I achieve my goal。

今天是中秋节，吃完早饭，我和爸爸妈妈一起去购买礼物回姥姥家，一到姥姥家，妈妈让我拿礼物，我给姥姥说：“中秋节快乐”，姥姥、姥爷听见很高兴，姥姥做了好多好吃的，然后哥哥也回到姥姥家里，我们围到桌子前面一边吃饭一边喝着果汁，饭后睡完午觉，一起到绿色庄园游玩。

在沙滩上，我们拿着瓶子装沙子，装满后慢慢往里面倒水，让我明白了一个道理，原来装满沙子的瓶子里

面，还可以加好多好多水，这是因为沙子与沙子之间有空隙，沙子还可以吸水。

晚上我和哥哥在街上一起看月亮，月亮好圆啊，就像我们吃的月饼，好漂亮，多么有意思的中秋节!

The Dragon Boat Festival is a lunar (阴历)holiday, occurring (存正)on the fifth

day of the fifth lunar month (农历史五月第五天). Dragon Boat Festival is my favourite

festival.During the holiday of Dragon Boat Festival,I got together with my

family to have a big meal.We ofen ate the zongzi.It tasted very nice.And we saw

the Dragon Boat Races.I felt excited because the race was bustling with noise

and excitement.At Dragon Boat Festival,we also drank realgar wine.Some people

thought drank realgar wine can protect themselves from illness.Dragon Boat

Festival was interesting and I like it very much.

The Chinese Dragon Boat Festival is a significant (有意义的)holiday celebrated

(庆祝)in China, and the one with the longest history (历史最悠久). The Dragon Boat

Festival is celebrated by boat races (龙舟赛) in the shape of dragons. Competing

teams (竞争团队) row their boats forward to a drumbeat (击古)racing to reach the

finish end first.

The boat races during the Dragon Boat Festival are traditional customs

(传统习俗)to attempts to (试图)rescue (搭救) the patriotic poet (爱国诗人)Chu Yuan. Chu Yuan

drowned (溺死) on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month in 277 B.C. Chinese

citizens now throw bamboo leaves (竹叶) filled with cooked rice into the

water.

Therefore the fish could eat the rice rather than the hero poet. This later

on turned into the custom of eating tzungtzu and rice dumplings(棕子).

The celebrations is a time for protection (防护) from evil (邪恶) and disease

(疾病) for the rest of the year. It is done so by different practices such as

hanging healthy herbs on the front door, drinking nutritious concoctions (营养品),

and displaying (展示) portraits (画像) of evils nemesis(邪恶报应), Chung Kuei. If one

manages to (成功做...) stand (直立)an egg on its end at exactly 12:00 noon, the

following year will be a lucky one.

Today, people eat bamboo-wrapped steamed glutinous(粘的) rice dumplings

called zongzi (the food originally intended to feed the fish) and race dragon

boats in memory of Qus dramatic death.

Almost all of us heard the story “Here Comes the Wolf” when we were little

kids. What we can learn from the story is that we must be honest. However,

there’re lots of phenomena of dishonesty nowadays。

Being dishonest does great harm not only to other people but also to

yourself. Take the case of fake milk powder for example. After drinking this

kind of milk, the babies had big heads while their legs and arms were still

thin, which badly affected their health. To our great relief, the producers got

accused and punished for all the serious consequences in the end。

Having the reputation of being honest and reliable will make other people

trust you, which will provide you many benefits and give you opportunities that

others may not get. Being honest, you will find it easier to cooperate with

others and people will be friendly to you and support you. In a sense, if life

is a long journey, honesty will be the backpack that should be taken along all

the way. Let’s pick up our “backpack”—honesty, and start the wonderful

journey!

There is an old Chinese saying: Top students come from strict teachers.

Perhaps affected by this saying for a long time, we believe it right. However,

as time flies, lots of things have changed. Therefore, I am eager to discuss

what relation is the best between teachers and students.A teacher can treat a

student in two ways .One is strict, and the other is friendly. Most teachers

prefer the first way.To start with, we certainly have to admit that strictness

is very effective, especially to the naughty pupils.

As pupils we aren’t able to control ourselves well or fix our attention on

one thing for a long time. We do most things because they are interesting or we

feel like doing. We are always looking out of the window in class. Sometimes, we

get to play games and forget our homework. On this occasion, strictness is a

must. It not only forces us to do the right thing, but also helps us develop a

good learning habit, which is of great importance during our whole life .In

other words, it is the first step to success.Still, everything has two sides.

Its weak points are very obvious. You see, there’re top students in a class,

where average students make up the majority. Then teachers’ orders or

suggestions are for the majority, not for top students. However, top students

always have their own study plans and prefer special homework, so orders usually

won’t take great effect on them.

Maybe you have thought out that teachers can give orders only to the

majority and set some freedom to top students. However, it’s impossible .For a

whole class, teachers couldn’t give order to part of the class, for the majority

would question why they needn’t do such work, but we need? It would be probable

that they think teachers treat them not equally, and will not obey teachers’

orders any more. This is a difficulty for teachers.It also has another

disadvantage——the communication problem .Since teachers are strict, we never

tell teachers our personal affairs or secrets. Mostly we just tell them to our

friends, but as students too, they couldn’t help to solve our problem, such as

puppy love, communication problems or study problems .Not being solved

completely, they always disturb us, influencing our daily life and study. I’m

sure that you think that making friends with teachers can solve the problem, and

you are eager to do so as well. But if we do so, new problems will come out .You

see, an adult couldnt control himself well at times, let alone us students.

However if teachers are our friends, I doubt whether their orders will take

effect any more .You see, have we ever treated our friends’ orders as orders? We

think they’re only jokes. This is another difficulty for teachers.Additionally,

our parents have the same problem. Yes, we need to be friends, but not complete

friends. We need to keep a certain distance, making us communicate well and

willing to take your orders. I remember a story.One day, a lady had her rest

room decorated. And a skilled worker was bricking up the wall. Seeing large

cracks between the bricks, she questioned why. The worker told her after this

summer, the bricks would become bigger, and those cracks would disappear.That is

not only decoration, but also communication. The principle is the same.

岁月流逝，读初中了，学习紧张了，连看课外书的时间都没有了，我神志不清的看起了格言，

在我模糊的记忆里，依稀记得是三年级的时候吧，记得那时候我不喜欢看书，甚至觉得看书很烦躁，当时，我正闲这没事做，前坐的同学正要将看完了的书放进抽屉里，我便向他借过来，他不借我，我就给他两巴掌，他就借我了。我翻开了第一页，本来只想打发时间，但里面的内容深深的吸引着我，我沉静在书中，无法自拔。书的内容很精彩。有许多哲理令我受益匪浅，

只可惜书的内容我忘得一干二净了。

其实，格言里的内容并不华丽，但令我感动的是真挚情感，这是写作时缺乏的。格言的魅力不仅是如此。

书中一篇文章给我记忆最深，故事大概是这样的，一个旅行者经过一条大河的时候，听到上游传来哭声。他见到几个人掉入了河中，他奋不顾身的去救他们，救上来一个，经过抢救

恢复了呼吸，他再次跳入水中，又救起一个，又救一个……他一直在救人，当他不行的时候，

他看见一个人飞快的向上游跑去，旅行者被激怒了，向那人跑去，说：先生!你明明看到有人落水，你却不救他们，你有没有良心？陌生人停下脚步，说：别挡路，我要到上游去，阻止那些把人推到水里的混蛋！很精彩也很搞笑，格言可以说是对我影响最大的一本书。

This holiday is busy and happy.

This holiday is very busy. I need to do homework, review the contents of

last semester, prepare for next semesters contents, take notes, and attend

classes, and...

The vacation homework is at least two weeks to finish and a lot of

homework. Homework is seldom finished in a week, but I dont miss the time of

primary school vacation, because homework can increase knowledge and enhance the

content of last semester.

It will take two weeks to review the content of last term. Although the

content is much more than the primary school, I have learned a little faster.

Review time I dont feel boring, I feel very interesting, my old friends and I

can not only say hello but also as a detective to ferret out the last semester I

did not catch the bad guys. (the so-called bad is easily delayed)

Preview the next semesters content will last at least three weeks, because

the content of next semester is more difficult, and the effect of light is not

great. Its also digested, understood and done. But Im not annoyed that I just

think I dont know what I dont know, and I want to be as simple as making

friends with him. And cant forget him, I hope my friend can be a little

more.

In addition to the above, I also have to go to the study class, look at the

name to increase my knowledge, but also in the spare time to buy the new year.

The study time is usually about 10 hours a day. In a word, Im busy every

day.

Ah! This is the busiest holiday, and this is the tireest holiday! But this

holiday is more fulfilling than my previous holiday! More satisfied! More

happy!

【这一切终将过去】

突如其来的病毒，

让我们猝不及防。

多少个危重病人及白衣天使的逝亡，

让我们竭力感伤。

我从未见过这样的武汉，

以及武汉之外的众人他乡，

病毒肆虐，道路空旷。

我也从未见过，

人们脸上的重重遮挡，

以及遮挡下透出的别样坚强。

云的家乡是远方已远的远方，

当远方干涸，云会不顾一切地返航，

为大地遮阳，并添一缕清凉。

花的家乡是泥土深处的泥土，

当泥土遇险，花会不由自主地绽放，

为泥土遮挡，并添一缕芬芳。

中国，处处是我们的家乡，

中国逢此劫难，我们都举起有力的臂膀，

为祖国加油鼓掌，并贡献一份力量。

我们始终坚信，

这一切终将过去，

一起将口罩扔向空旷，

返乡的白衣天使，在自己家乡享受温暖的春光，

我们这些孩童可以不受约束，像鸟儿归巢回归课堂。

很快，很快，

一切终将过去!

As the technology and economic is developing, the environment problem is

becoming a severe problem, and the people are seriously affected.

The sustained damage to the environment has caused a serious problem, such

as air pollution, sand storm, extraordinary weather, and diseases etc., people

suffer from what they have done to the environment.

However. People have realized that it will be too late if they don’t do

anything to prevent things from getting worse. For example, there is an “Earth

Hour” on a Saturday of March of each year. It is a global movement, usually it

lasts from 8:30pm to 9:30pm. It is also called “Light-off for One Hour”. During

this hour, all the light will be turned off. The purpose of this movement is not

only to save energy, but also to warn the people to realize the importance of

protecting the mother earth, and to stop violating the environment.

Anyway, people and the environment have to keep a balance relationship.

People take from the environment, and have to protect it too.

Its Sunday today. I got up early and did my homework on the table. All of a

sudden I remembered the mothers day, a picture of my mind, remembering a past

thing that moved me.

Thats the case. After coming home from school that afternoon, my mother came

back. I found that my mother was very tired, his eyes were squinting, and I

yawned. So she sent me to do my homework at home. But I felt very sad to see my

mother working so hard, so I decided to share the housework for my mother. I

began to pick up the stuff in my home, first fold the newspaper, and then the

glass was cleaned.

I put the glass on the pot filled with water, and then picked up the cloth, a

brush up. I found a little dirty in a cup, and I took some detergent to wash it.

Suddenly, the cup from the hand slipped, piercing sound startled me. I hastened

to pick up the pieces of glass on the floor. At this time, I found that my

mother was standing in front of me, and she said, "dont pick up the pieces with

your hands. Let me come." I stood up and bowed my head embarrassed and said,

"Im sorry, mom, Im too careless." I thought: this must be closed. Mother

walked over and touched my head and said, "kid, dont frighten you?" Let mommy

pack up, you go out and watch TV. " Mothers words are very gentle, but make me

more difficult, unwittingly I cry.

Looking back on this, I felt very warm. It told me that maternal love is

selfless and great, and I want to repay my mother on Mothers day.

Last year, I went to Guilin for travel. On the train, I felt so bored. A

girl who sat next to me was reading a book, which caught my attention. I asked

her about the book, I found that I had read it before and then we discussed

about the novel. We talked happily, when the train arrived, we got off together.

When we got aparted, we promised to keep in touch. We communicated by the

computer. Now a year has passed, we become good friends and I miss her all the

time. She is a genuine friend. I plan to go to Guilin again and then we will

meet.

Today is the Dragon Boat Festival, I am happy! I want to know how I had the Dragon Boat Festival? If you want to know, come with me.

In the morning, we got up early. As soon as I came out of the room, I smelled a delicious smell. When I came to the kitchen, I saw that grandma was cooking my favorite meat dumpling. Grandma cooked the zongzi, and I ate two meat dumplings at the same time.

After eating the meat dumplings, and mother taking me shopping, I got two very beautiful silver bracelets, a beautiful necklace and a nice little sachet.

Having bought something, we came to the grandmothers house to eat the cake bin. Let me teach you to make a cake canister! First, take the skin of the pie, then put the main raw material on the top, then put some vegetables on it, so that it can be rolled up. The last step is to pour the broth into the mouth of the pie tube.

The Dragon Boat Festival is really interesting!

I love reading, which enriches my knowledge and helps me know more about

the world. I love the school atmosphere. Students study together here and make

progress gradually. My favorite place here is library. I can read many books

here. Once I have some questions, I can find a lot of information. We fight for

the goal and plan details in the library in group task. I have so many good

memories to study here, which makes me so happy. No matter which school I am in,

I will always find this quiet corner and study what I like. I love the feelings

there.

With the development of our society， energy in the world bees more and more

limited， so it is quite important for us to save energy and to protect our

environment。 As a student， there are a lot of methods we can do to save energy

at home。 For example， first， we can turn off the light as well as other

appliances when we are not using them。 Second， recycle the waste water， paper

and other waste so that we can reuse them。 Whats more， it is suggested to use

public transportation more instead of private cars.

Above all， everyone can make a great contribution to our environment。 I

hope I can learn more to develop new and clear energy， like energy from the wind

and solar.

康熙甲寅五年，陕西提督王辅臣在平凉起兵反叛。叛乱被平息后，王辅臣重新投降了朝廷。不过，王辅臣知道，这一次，康熙皇帝不会饶了他。于是，他做了下列一系列事情：

先找了一个莫须有的事由，与媳妇干了一仗，并高调宣布休了她。等老丈人来，王辅臣悄悄把老丈人拉到一边，叮嘱老丈人，此地不宜久留，赶紧领着女儿远走高飞。

拿出手中的所有银子来，分成若干份。然后召集所有的将卒仆役，说，你们死心塌地地跟了我这么长时间，枪林弹雨，风霜雨露，辛苦了，这些银子，你们各自领一份，赶紧逃命去。但，无论去哪里，千万不要说从前跟过我。

他看到一个盛鱼的银碗。想，给谁呢?正好看到一个送茶的童子。问，娶妻了吗。童子摇头。王辅臣取银碗送与童子，说，回去卖了，娶媳妇去吧，不要再回来了。

这样，王辅臣的手下仅余数人，召来，与之共饮，一直喝到深夜，喝着喝着，王辅臣哭了。他说，我，一叛逆之臣，死是必然的了，与其死在刽子手的刀下，不如有尊严地自杀。但是，我想过了，无论用刀自刭，上吊自杀，还是喝药而死，都会留下自杀的痕迹。这样，就会连累到你们，以及本省的经略大人以及督抚大人。

众人面面相觑，不知道他想要说什么。

王辅臣说，我想出了一个主意，就是等我喝酒喝到烂醉之后，绑上我的手足，用纸盖在我的脸上，然后，含凉水在嘴里，以水喷面，即刻便死。这种死法，看起来，像得病暴死一样。这样，你们去报官，就不会连累你们了。

我为什么要讲这个故事呢?

话说有一个叫蔡三的老头，患重病，将死。但苟延残喘，就是不咽气。他每天嘴里念叨的，是一个人的名字。谁呢?欠他钱的一个人。这个人家境凄惶，老的老，残的残，病的病，真正是一贫如洗。他怕这个人还不了他的钱。

欠钱的人听说后，跑到蔡三的病床前，当着他全家的面，说，蔡叔，欠你的账，我记着呢，等有钱了，一定还你。

蔡三当面说不急不急，但心里总是放不下。有时候，病得昏昏迷迷，嘴里还是不断念叨着这件事。

欠钱的人急了，磕头下跪，四处筹借，总算把钱凑够了。他赶紧跑去还给了蔡三。蔡三虽病态恹恹的，表现出一脸的不高兴，唠叨说，难道我还在乎你这些个钱。等着欠钱的人走了，蔡三示意儿子把钱藏在米柜里。

然后，一抿嘴，死了。

王辅臣是清朝一代名将，骁勇善战，却也反反复复，起起落落，争议颇多。但是，他赴死之前所做的这一切，让人看到了他心底的仁义与良善。蔡三呢，是老家附近的一个人，活一辈子，心胸不过芝麻粒大小，到死，也没做出件荡气回肠的漂亮事。

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!
