Five Whys about Halloween Hello, everyone! At the beginning of the video I’d like to ask what you know about Halloween. I can’t hear your answers, but I suppose you said that Halloween is celebrated on October 31, the jack-o'-lantern is a symbol of this holiday, people traditionally put on costumes on this day, and children go from home to home saying ‘trick or treat’. Of course, all of these are very common Halloween traditions. But do you know why it is so? In this video, we will answer five questions about Halloween traditions. I’m sure you will understand this holiday better. The first question: Why do people wear costumes on Halloween? Over 2000 years ago, people known as the Celts lived on the territory of the British Isles and Northern France. They celebrated the end of summer and harvest time on November 1. It was the beginning of a new year. The Celts were pagans and believed that the night before a new year (October 31) was the time when the worlds of the living and the dead came together. Back then people were frightened of evil spirits. They would dress up in costumes and make noise in the streets in order to make the spirits go away. The next questions are: Why is Halloween celebrated on October 31? And why is the holiday named Halloween? Partly, we’ve already learnt about the date, but here is some additional information. More than 1000 years ago, the Catholic Church came to the Celtic land and set November 1 as All Saints’ Day, also known as All Hallows’ Day. The night before (October 31) was called All Hallows’ Eve (the evening before All Hallows’ Day).Over time, All Hallows’ Eve evolved into Halloween (or Hallowe’en). Why is the jack-o'-lantern a symbol of the holiday? This is a jack-o'-lantern which is considered a symbol of Halloween. This tradition began with people believing that carving scary faces onto turnips would frighten away evil spirits. The tradition turned to pumpkins in America because pumpkins were more common and much easier to carve. There are many legends surround

It is almost impossible to imagine our life without TV. It plays a great and a very important role in the life of modern man. There is practically no family that doesn't have a TV set. TV is one of the mass media kinds. Radio and newspapers tell us about different events but TV not only tells but also shows. TV has a lot of channels and everybody can watch the programs he likes. Our television suggests various programs: talk show and game show, news and sporting events, about animals and about foreign countries and so on. Soaps-lovers can watch their favorite films almost every day. TV shows us a lot of films of different countries: detective and melodrama, comedy and triller. As former I like to see adventure films, fantasy, comedies. My favorite sporting events programs are about volleyball, swimming, track-and-field athletics and gymnastic. I watch many programs with great interest. These programs are: a wild nature program, "Anshlag", some game shows and so on. There are a lot of films (most of them of foreign TV-companies) with a great number of corpses, with seas of blood now. It's not very good to my mind. I think that one of the aims of TV is to bring up TV-viewers, to cultivate love to our country, kindness and other positive features of character.
