THE READING / TAPESCRIPT
Halloween is celebrated on October the 31st every year. It originated from a pagan
holiday and the Christian holiday of All Saints’ Day. The name Halloween is a
shortened version of All Hallows’ Eve. Today, it is more of a fun day for children
and has largely lost its religious roots. Halloween is probably most famous in the
U.S.A. Irish immigrants took it to America in the mid-1600s and it slowly spread
across the country. Halloween is not celebrated in many countries around the world
although many people know about it. Some Christians are not so happy that people
celebrate Halloween. They believe the holiday is un-Christian because of its origin
as a pagan "festival of the dead."
Halloween has many easily identifiable symbols. The colours orange and black are
widely used. In particular, orange pumpkins and fires and black witches, cats and
costumes are common features of this day. One of the biggest Halloween activities
is trick-or-treating. This is when children knock on doors and ask for a small gift.
If they don’t get anything, they’ll play a trick on the person who opens the door.
Food also plays a big part of Halloween. Toffee apples are very popular and so is
anything made from pumpkin. Halloween is also a popular topic for Hollywood.
Many horror movies have been made about it. Because of this, Halloween is now
known in many countries that never actually celebrate it.
