Hallowe'en Hallowe'en is a popular festival in many countries all over the world, and every year it to get bigger. Find out some more about the traditional festival of Hallowe'en. The origins of the name The festival of Hallowe'en has its (0) roots in Celtic and Roman traditions. Over 2,000 ago the Celts in Britain, Ireland and parts of France celebrated Samhain to (1) mark the beginning of winter. When the Romans invaded, they merged this with Feralia, their celebration of the passing of the dead. As Christianity spread, the Church tried to replace these pagan feasts with official Church holy days. One of these was November 1. It was called All Saints Day, or "All Hallows", and October 31 was known as "All Hallows' Eve", and then Hallowe'en. Hallowe'en traditions In the past there was a tradition called "souling". Poor people went around houses asking for food. In exchange, they promised to say prayers for the dead. People no longer go souling, but the habit has been transformed into a modern Hallowe'en game for children in America, who dress up as ghosts, witches and monsters and go around people's houses, asking for sweets. This game is called Trick or Treat. Witches Hallowe'en wouldn't be fun without witches. Witches have always been part of popular folklore. Shakespeare's (2) play "Macbeth" opens with three witches. A witch was someone usually woman who had special powers and had dealings with the devil. The Americar town, Salem, in the state of Massachusetts, is famous for the "witcheraft trials", which took place there in 1692. Pumpkins The pumpkin is a symbol of Hallowe'en. People empty a pumpkin, cut a face into the sic and put a candle inside. It's known as a Jack O' Lantern, from an Irish legend about a man call Jack, who made deal with the devil.

I think that my school is the best one. I love it very much. Our teachers are kind and intelligent and my classmates are smart and friendly. But everybody has a dream. The dream about our new school - the school of the future. Now I would like to tell you a few words about my ideal school. First of all If I were a Headteacher of my school I would allowed everybody to have an opportunity to use one's phone. The second thing is our homework. So much of it! Don't the teachers know that it is waste of time, our time and theirs. The next. Our holidays. I would like to travel a lot. But when? Our holidays must be a bit longer I think. And at last the equipment of our classrooms! What do we see? There are few computers which we can use. My dream is every classroom has ten and more new computers with Internet. 

It's school of my dream.

Я думаю, что моя школа лучшая. Я ее очень люблю. Наши преподаватели добрые интеллигентные, и мои одноклассники умные и дружелюбные. Но у каждого есть мечта. Мечта о нашей новой школе - школе будущего. Теперь я хотела бы сказать вам несколько слов о моей идеальной школе. Прежде всего, если бы я была директором школы, я бы позволила бы всем иметь возможность использовать свой телефон. Второе, это наше домашнее задание. Так много! Разве учителя не знают, что это пустая трата времени, нашего времени и их. Далее. Наши каникулы. Я хотела бы много путешествовать. Но когда? Наши каникулы должны быть немного больше по времени, я думаю. И, наконец, оборудование наших классов! Что же мы видим? Есть несколько компьютеров, которые мы можем использовать. Моя мечта - в каждом классе десять и более новых компьютеров с интернетом. 

Это школа моей мечты.
