Halloween

Reading comprehension

Halloween is a tradition that began in Europe many hundreds of years ago. 

Nowadays, it is a special day in many countries around the world.

It always falls on the same day every year, on October 31.

At night, children wear costumes. These costumes usually include a mask or some make-up for the face.

For example, on Halloween you might see an elephant, a witch with a tall, black hat, or maybe even a spooky ghost!

The children then go from house to house and ask for candies by saying, “Trick or treat?.” 

Many older kids and adults also put on costumes and go to Halloween parties.

“Jack - o' lanterns” are very common (these are pumpkins with candles inside, and faces cut into them.)

A lot of people like to put them in their windows or on their front door steps.

Most people have a lot of fun on Halloween.

Happy Halloween everyone!
