About Halloween
It's that time of the year again. Seeing pumpkins hanging around in people's gardens-means it's Halloween. Let's see how Halloween started. Many people think that it's an American holiday, but actually Halloween has been around longer than America has.(万圣节的历史比美国历史还长) It started in Europe hundreds of years ago. Many people also incorrectly think that Halloween is all about fun and games. Actually Halloween started out as a very serious day. It was to remember the dead, heroes and people in our lives. Today, people have forgotten about the seriousness, and it's just a fun day.
又到一年一度的万圣节了。看到邻居家里都挂着南瓜就知道啦。我们来看看这个节目的背景吧。很多人以为万圣节是美国的节日,但是其实这一天的历史比美国历史还长。源于欧洲几百年前。很多人都以为这一天是为了装神弄鬼玩的一天, 其实开始的时候是很认真很严肃的一天,用来祭奠死去的人-英雄和我们生命里的人。 今天我们都忘了这点,变成了纯粹玩的一天。

I was walking down the stairs today, and I didn’t know that my friend was hiding around the corner at the bottom. As I reached the bottom, she screamed “aaaaaaa”. I said: “You scared the living crap out of me”. This mean “你把我吓死了”.So today, when someone tries to scare you, try saying this phrase to them.
今天我在下楼梯时,我朋友躲在下面,当我下到底时,他跳出来叫“啊啊啊啊啊”我说“you scared the living crap out of me”. 就是吓死我了的意思。今天有人试图吓你时,你就试试这一句!
