Halloween!


Halloween (or Hallowe'en) is an annual holiday observed on October 31. It has roots in the Celtic festival of Samhain and the Christian holiday All Saints' Day, but is today largely a secular celebration.

Common Halloween activities include trick-or-treating, wearing costumes and attending costume parties, carving pumpkins, bonfires, apple bobbing, visiting haunted attractions, telling ghost stories or other frightening tales, and watching horror movies.


Glossary:

tricks or treats = doces ou travessuras

costumes = fantasias

carve pumpkins = esculpir abóboras

bonfires = fogueiras

apple bobing = um jogo no qual deve-se pegar maçãs em um recipiente com água sem utilizar as mãos

haunted = assombrado(a)

ghost stories = estórias de fantasma

frightening tales = contos assustadores

horror movies = filmes de terror

About the "Creepshow".

Is this English? No, it isn't! It's Estonian! Let's see the translation?

põdral maja metsa sees
väiksest aknast välja vaatab
jänes jookseb kõigest väest
lävel seisma jääb
kopp-kopp lahti tee
metsas kuri jahimees
jänes tuppa tule sa
anna käppa ka

Moose has a house in the forest
He sees outside through a little window
A rabbit runs as fast as he can
and stop by the door
Tok-tok, open the door!
There is a cruel hunter in the forest.
Come in rabbit!
And give me a handshake.

Learning English - BBC


Do you know the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) site?

It is full of news in many languages (and I really hope you read them in English) and there are news that were written for learners of English as a second language (that means "you")!

It is a great way to learn vocabulary and as well to be updated!

Take a look and have fun!
