Методическая разработка к уроку английского языка по теме: "HELLOWEEN"

I have prepared a class 8 student

Halloween is a festival that takes place on October 31.

Halloween developed from new year festivals and festivals of the dead.  

Christian church established a festival on November 1 called All Saints' Day so that people could continue to celebrate their festivals.

The Mass said on All Saints' Day was called Allhallowmass. The day before All Saints' Day was known all hallows' Eve or All Hallow e'en.

Fortunetelling and storytelling about ghosts and witches are popular activities.  

People once believed that there were many ghosts and witches on the Earth and that they met on October 31 to worship the devil.  

Today, people do not believe in ghosts and witches but they like to tell stories about them on Halloween.  

The main Halloween activity for children is trick-or-treating. Children dress in costumes and masks and go from door to door saying "trick or treat" . The neighbours give children such treats as candy, fruit and pennies so that children do not play tricks on them.

In the United States children wear costumes and masks and go trick-or-treating. Many of them carve jack-o'-lanterns out of pumpkins.

An Irish legend says that jack-o'-lanterns are named after the man called Jack.

He could not enter heaven because he was a miser, and he could not enter hell because he had played jokes on devil. As a result, Jack has to walk on the earth with his lantern until Judgment Day.
