Questions:
Language Tips(LT): Halloween is believed to be a day when all the spirits come back to the world of the living. And we have a same day in China called “Guijie", the Day of Dead, which falls on July 14 in the Lunar Calendar. Why is the Day of Dead called “Halloween” in western countries?
LT: Halloween was not celebrated until 19th century in US but has now become one of the biggest festivals of the year there. Why?
LT: Though it’s becoming popular in China, Halloween is still quite new to Chinese people. What we know about Halloween are limited to pumpkin lanterns, scary masks, trick -or -treat games, we don’t really celebrate it. What do people actually do on this day in the US? How do you spend the holiday in Canada and NZ?
LT: Anything traditional to do?
LT: Do you have any interesting experience on this day?
LT: What’s your favorite costume and mask?
LT: Are you going to wear masks? What kinds of masks are usually most popular? About pumpkin lanterns, do you carve it by yourselves or you just buy them from a store?
LT: Does the global economic crisis have any impact on Halloween this year? Does it make people eager to celebrate this day or just skip it to save money?
LT: What’s your plan for the upcoming Halloween?
LT: Here is one question from one of our readers. Do you believe in ghosts?
Say something for Halloween.
