week 6: task 1: history of Halloween

http://link.history.com/services/link/bcpid1811456971/bclid1842765416/bctid1554375513

Halloween is a celebration come from Ireland in A.D 800s . The Celts, who lived at that time believed that the ghosts of the dead returned to earth on the night before the new year ( november 1st), and they thought that ghosts would be causing trouble and damaging crops; therefore, they celebrated to wish a good havest, a safe dark cold winter, and to welcome a new year.

During the celebration, everyone wore costumes, typically consisting of animal heads and skins, and attempted to tell each other's fortunes, and built huge sacred bonfires, where the people gathered to burn crops and animals as sacrifices to the Celtic deities.

I feel scared because costumes are very strange and the air is terrifying. In short, I'm afraid ghosts.^^

In my freetime, I offen read books and watch movies. I like many kinds of books and movies. I addicted to both, so I don't dare to play any kind of other entertainments because I won't have freetime to do anything else.^^
I also like to go shopping to buy food and necessary products because it don't take much time, if I go shopping for a long time,I will have headache :(. I can cook, sometimes I want to cook somethings, just sometimes because I'm lazy, so my aparment have a person who studies cooking. Therefore, he offen cooks for everyone, so I and my roommates have good meals, ^^some of my friends said I'm very lucky, ^^ I know that ^^:)
