HALLOWEEN



I'm going to talk about Halloween.

Halloween, also known as Halloween or All Souls Night, is a festival of Celtic origin which  celebrated internationally on the night of October 31, especially in English-speaking countries such as Canada, USA, Ireland or the United Kingdom.
The origin of Halloween can be found in the ancient Druids Ireland, in celebration of Samhain. The date  celebrates the beginning of the cold season and give the welccome  ghosts of dead relatives, returning to the world of the living to be reunited with their families.

Halloween was first celebrated in the United States, reaching to become one of the most important holidays. The day is often associated with the colors orange, black and purple. Typical activities include the famous Halloween trick or treating and costume parties, visiting haunted houses, jokes, reading scary stories and viewing of horror films.

The most famous traditions of Halloween is trick or treating. The children, dressed in their Halloween costumes, walk the neighboring houses to collect candy under the premise "trick or treating". If the candy come to your hands, all content and happy. Otherwise, it will turn to mischief.

One of the typical dishes are apples halloween candy, which are given to children.

Today, Halloween is one of the most important dates in American and European holiday calendar.

THE SIMPSONS.

I'm going to talk about my favourite film: The Simpsons.
The Simpsons is an American animated comedy film version of the animated televisión series The Simpsons. This film was directed by David Silverman in 2007 and produced by James L. Brooks, Matt Groening, Al Jean, Mike Scully and Richard Sakai.
The characters of this film are the Simpson's family of Homer Simpson, his wife Marge, and children Bart, Lisa, and Maggie, in the town of Springfield. Other characters are Ned Flanders, Colin, Chief Wiggum...
PLOT:
Thanks to Lisa Simpson, Lake Springfield is cleaned up from the pollution that once fouled it. But when Homer, who's adopted a pig (Spider-pig) and dumps a silo  in the lake, the EPA places a large dome over Springfield, and the Simpsons family manage to escape through a sinkhole. The family flees to a better life in Alaska, but when the head of the EPA, Russ Cargill, orders the town destruction, it's up to Homer to save Springfield.
I like this film because it is interesting and very funny.

BOB MARLEY

Bob Marley was born in 1945 in Nine Mile, Jamaica. His parents were Norval Marley, a captain of the navy and Cendella and they married against the opinion of Marley’s family. Bob Marley started to sing, and he recorded his first song “Judge Not” in 1961. However, the song “Simmer Down” was his first number one. In 21^st April 1966, Haile Selassie I visited Jamaica, and he instructed Bob Marley in the Rastafarian faith.  This man was considered a saviour, because he seemed to be the directly descended from King Salomon and he must be the savior of African people. Bob Marley also played an important role in 1970s because he made Manley and his opposition rival in politics Edward Seaga shake hands at the 1978 Peace Concert. Bob died from cancer in 1981. Doctors diagnosed melanoma cancer in the big toe of this right foot. He was treated, but some years after, Doctors discovered that the cancer had returned and it was present in his lungs and brain. He is laid to rest in his birthplace, Nine Mile. Bob’s family is owner of this place, and Tourists can visit it to know more about Bob Marley’s life. Sometimes, Bob’s mother is in this natural world and talk with the tourist about his son.

 

MUSIC

Music is very important for me because it can express different emotions.
There is one style of music for each moment in a day or in life.
Music helps me to get up and start the day with happiness. I like listening music with my mates of the football team before a match. We listen pop music and we go to the field with energy. We are motivated for enjoy and win the match. I like listening classical music when I'm tired.
I like play the drums too.
