Quite slow please.
October 31st is Halloween. Halloween is not a holiday but it is a very special day for children in Canada and in the United States. On Halloween, children dress up in costumes. Some children wear masks and some children wear makeup. They dress up as monsters, famous people, ghosts, witches and pirates... In the evening they walk around in their neighbourhood and go from house to house shouting "Trick or Treat!" At each house people give out many kinds of candy. One traditionnal custom of Halloween is to put a Jack O Lantern at the window. To make a Jack O Lantern, we clear the inside of a pumpkin, cut out the eyes, the nose and the mouth and put a candle inside it. People often decorate their house with pictures of black cats, spiders or witches and bats and sometimes ghosts.
