The origin of Halloween
Halloween is not a Christian festival but one of
the biggest festival of the Celtic.
The Celts believed that the souls of the dead
could return to roam freely among the living in
search of a living body to possess, usually a
black cat.

Halloween customs
"Trick or treat"
To comfort the lost souls, parcels
of food and gifts were placed on the doorstep.
They will find the treat, eat it and leave in
peace.
"Jack O Lanterns"
People used to put a candle in an
hollowed-out vegetable (e.g. a turnip) to ward
off evil when they were out walking at night. The
Irish started to use pumpkins after they came to
America.

In doing this project , I learn how to celebrate
Halloween and make up as a witch .Certainly , I
still learn the history about Halloween .
Halloween is not a Christian festival but one of
the biggest festival of the Celtic . Many people
do not like to celebrate in Halloween because
they think Halloween is the festival for the
Dead, and the most important Sabbath of the year.
After I know that , I am very frightened . But
when I ask mum , she said Dont be afraid of
that . If you dress up in scary costumes , they
will walk away . Then you can enjoy your
Halloween .So , each year I will dress up in
scary costumes . Hope you enjoy Halloween , too .

Alice Halloween is a very popular festival back
in the world. Many people love that festival
including me.In Hong Kong, children like to
dress up as monsters, witches in their school on
Halloween evening, but they wouldnt celebrate at
night. Some of the people would go to Lan Kwan
Fong Street to celebrate this festival . How
about me? This year I celebrated it at school.
The teachers held a Halloween party during lunch
times. Some students wore monster mask to trick
people, they were very ugly and terrible. My
classmates and I went from classroom to classroom
and said trick or treat. They were in the
classroom and gave us sweets. I enjoyed that
party very much, because I got a lot of sweets.

After finishing this project, I learned to
understand the origin of Halloween and the custom
of the Halloween in the different places , some
Halloween' s words, such as the vampire, mummy,
science eccentric ,etc.And our members of the
teamwork is very good! I am very happy to do this
project, our leader has the leadership and the
ability, and she helps us to complete the project
as soon as possible. Besides, members also give
the ground to complete themselves in hand last of
work, the work efficiency of everyone is very
high, developing own elders in the work.In this
project, I feel very pleased, besides learning
about Halloweens things, and I have learnt about
the ways to get along with others.

Christine Before doing this project ,I hate
Halloween very much. It is because I feel scared
when the people dressed up and look like ghosts
or bitchs. But when I finished this project. I
know many things about Halloween. And I think
Halloween is a really good festival besides
asking for the candies.(I like eating candies
very much),we can dressed up like a ghost or a
bitch.This festival is not so scary at
all. Every country or area celebrates Halloween
differently .I think Halloween only brushes-up
ghost ,witch and play trick or treat, takes some
sweets. Now I realize that Halloween is a funny
festival.This project can improve my English
standard and enhance the friendship with my team
members.

to Ocean Park in every year during Halloween .
There are many games about Halloween . But the
most exciting one is the haunted house because
staff members of Ocean Park will perform as

that Ocean Park Halloween activities are very
good . In this report , I have learnt more
history about Halloween , such as the origin of
Halloween , Owen is a abbreviation of All Hallows
Eve and why we say 'trick or treat' in
Halloween,etc. Besides learning these relevant
Halloween history ,I also learn how to cooperate
with the group members and distribute the work
among each other. The team leader is utterly
loyal to the post and has ability to lead . So
she makes us finish the whole project very
diligently and quickly.
