English Town
The building company Hong Kong Housing is building a new suburb in Shanghai, a city witt
pulation of more than 15 million people. But this suburb is not like other parts of Shanghai. It
ittle piece of England. The name of the new area is "English Town". The manager of Hong ko
pusing, Shi Guansheng, says many people in this area of China want to buy an English house a
e in an English town.
"This town is like Bristol or Chester. There is an English square and there are pigeons to fe
e in Trafalgar Square, London. There are four English-style pubs and you can buy English be
drink. There is a canal and you can row a boat there like in Cambridge."
Are there any cricket fields? "No, there aren't any places to play cricket because nobody
anghai can play this game. But there is a football stadium like those in England. And the thi
2 are very proud of is our shopping street. There are several shops where you can buy traditior
glish food like fish and chips or Christmas Pudding."
The rich Shanghai businessman can do some gardening too. For with every house in "Engli

About Halloween

I would like to tell you about my favorite holiday – Halloween.

I think it is a very interesting holiday. Many people in the USA and the UK celebrate this holiday with great pleasure, but, unfortunately, in our country this holiday is not well known. People celebrate Halloween on the 31st of October.

On this day children wear costumes of ghosts and witches. They go for a walk late at night, knock at doors of their neighbors, and shout: "Trick or treat?'' The neighbors give sweets or money, and it is really much fun. The main symbol of Halloween is a pumpkin. Children cut holes in pumpkins and place candles into them. At night pumpkins look like heads with burning eyes, and it is horrible and frightening. On this holiday people decorate their houses with pumpkins. Children bring pumpkins to school too.

Besides, children like to tell each other scary stories about ghosts, witches, and skeletons. At night scary movies are shown on TV. I like to watch Halloween scary movies and listen to Halloween scary stories very much.

I have a dream to go the UK or the USA on the 31st of October and celebrate Halloween with other children there.

Я думаю, в наше время, это очень важно знать иностранные языки. Некоторые люди учат языки, потому что они им нужны для работы, другим путешествовать за границу, и для третьих это просто хобби. Люди хотят знать языки, писать друзьям по переписке или общаться с людьми с разных стран, встретить больше новых людей и завести друзей. К тому же, они хотят читать книги известных писателей в оригинале, читать газеты и журналы. Это им узнавать больше о разных событиях, жизни людей, обычаях и традиций.
