Halloween

The day of the dead was last Friday. Did you scare anybody?


When you are a kid you see this day as a happy day when you can get sweets and candies from your neighbours and you get dressed as a witch, vampire or something related to Halloween.
Then when you grow up is when you realise why you’re celebration that day. You do it in order to remember your dead relatives. You think of them and, as the most of people do, you go to the cemetery to bring them flowers and so on.
It doesn’t have to be a sad day, not always. Then is when you have to appreciate people who still are around you.

Now, I’d like to talk about the celebration: Pumpkins, candles, cobwebs, sweets, black cats, witches, spirits… and this type of things is what comes to my head and I think about Halloween.

And here I tell you a question that I hope I can get some answer: Do you really think that spirits come to the earth just this night? Have you ever experienced something that scared you? I want to know that type of stories.
Come on! Let's share experiencies.




P.S: This blog is from a Spanish student trying to get a good level of English. If you find some mistake please don’t bear it in mind. Thank you.

Spirits might be present other times too. I had a curious experience I once explained here:

Your text is quite well written BUT
pay attention to these suggestions:
-instead of "dressed as a witch" you may better say "disguised as a witch"
-Then when you grow up IT is when you realise why you’re celebratING that day. OR -Then when you grow up (0) you realise why you’re celebratING that day.
-DO NOT SAY "and so on" BUT DEVELOP WHAT YOU WANT TO SAY. IF THERE ISN'T ANYTHING ELSE USE THE STOP(.)
-Then IT is when you have to appreciate people who ARE (WO)still around you.
