Hobo, today is Halloween. Great! Let’s celebrate.

What’s in the bag?

A ghost? That’s not very interesting.

I want to dress up as a ghost.

OK. How about the Monkey King?

I like the Mid-Autumn Festival.

All my family get together and have a big dinner. Then we eat moon cakes and enjoy the full moon. It’s great.!

Halloween

Millie’s penfriend Wendy lives in the USA. Read her letter about Halloween.

October 25

Dear Millie,

Thank you for telling me about the Mid-Autumn Festival. We have some festivals in the USA, and I like Halloween best.

Halloween is on October 31. How do we celebrate it? Children have lots of fun on that day. We dress up and wear masks. Sometimes we paint our faces. We also make pumpkin lanterns. It is wonderful.

When the evening comes, we visit houses and play a game with the people inside. We knock on their doors and shout “trick or treat”. Usually they give us some candy as a treat. If they do not give us a treat, we play a trick on them.

We always have a party on the evening of October 31 and enjoy nice food and drinks. It is really a special day.

Lots of love,

Wendy

Happy New Year! Now we have some news about the Chinese New Year celebrations in New York this Saturday. Celebrations start at 1 p.m. with a Chinese lion dance. We can enjoy a nice Chinese dinner at 5 p.m. The fireworks start at 8 p.m. There’s a music and dance show.

Host: Now more about the celebrations. The lion dance is in Peel Street---that’s P-e-e-l street. You can take photos there. Wang’s restaurant is also in Peel Street. Come and try some really good Chinese food.

The fireworks are in Mott Street---that’s M-o-t-t Street. The music and dance show is also in Mott Street. Make sure you go to the right place at the right time. We hope everyone will have fun.

Good. Have a nice day!
