HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

Hey everyone, HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

So, I decided to write a bit about Halloween. The two key phrases are:

TRICK OR TREAT

and

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

Trick or Treat is used by kids to get candy, they ring the doorbell and then say "Trick or Treat" and they will get some candy. They also, sometimes carry UNICEF boxes to raise money for UNICEF by collecting pennies(1 cent coins). If you don't give the kids treats then maybe they will play a bad trick played on you(breaking your pumpkin, throwing eggs on your door, etc.).

When I was a kid we also had this rhyme:

Trick or Treat
Smell my feet
Give me something
Good to eat

Not too big
Not too small
Just the size of
Montreal!

Ok, the two vocabulary words I want to talk about today are; a disguise and a costume.

A costume is when you put on clothes, make up or something to change your appearance for an event like Halloween, Mardi Gras, a party, etc. Often, you dress up to look like someone(Harry Potter, Spider-Man) or something famous(a vampire, a ghost, a princess).

"Hey man, great costume! You look exactly like Frankenstein!"

A disguise is when you put on some clothes or make up to change your appearance TO AVOID RECOGNITION. This means you are hiding your identity, you don't want people to know who you are. For example; you escaped from prison(like in Prison Break) and the police are looking for you so you need to wear a disguise. ^_-

"The police are looking for us! Quick everyone put on your disguises!!!"

Well that is all for now! Enjoy your weekend,

Phil
