新視野大學(xué)英語視聽說教程第一冊 Unit 10 Task 3: Halloween

Some people really enjoy Christmas, or Valentine’s Day, or Easter, or have a huge family reunion

or barbecue on the Fourth of July. Some people look forward to stuffing themselves with turkey

every year on Thanksgiving. Great as those are, they don’t compare with my favorite. I LOVE

Halloween! Why Halloween? Well, Halloween is the night of the year when we can all get dressed

up as someone else, pretend and let our imaginations run wild. Even adults get a free pass to go

back to their childhood and become that kid still inside all of us. It’s also the one night of the year

when we get to shine light on the dark, and confront monsters, ghosts, witches, and all things

dead. We get to confront our biggest fears, as both children and adults, and reassureourselves that

there’s really no reason to be afraid of things we see at night.
