the time it became in Halloween.

4. Main traditions in the USA and UK
• Jack-o-lanterns: These are pumpkins with a
face cut into one side.
• Apple Bobbing: It’s a typical game that you
have to bobbing for apples.
• Dressing up: People dressed up like monsters
because they thought that this way they
would scare away the spirits.

demanding a treat and people would give they
some kind of sweets or money.
