Halloween is very popular in western countries. On October 31st, dozens of children dressed in costumes(节日服装)knock on their neighbors' doors and yell "Trick or Treat" when the door opens. Pirates and princesses, ghosts and popular heroes of the day all hold bags open to catch the candy or other goodies that the neighbors drop in. As they give each child a treat the neighbors exclaim over the costumes and try to guess who is under the masks.

Today school dances and neighborhood parties called "block parties" are popular among the young and the old. More and more adults celebrate Halloween. They dress up like historical or political figures and go to masquerade parties(化妆舞会). In larger cities, costumed children and their parents gather at shopping malls early in the evening. Stores and businesses give parties with games and treats for the children. Teenagers enjoy costume dances at their schools and the more outrageous the costume the better!

Certain pranks(恶作剧)such as soaping car windows and tipping over garbage cans are expected. But partying and pranks are not the only things that Halloweeners enjoy doing. Some collect money to buy food and medicine for needy children around the world.

答案

On October 31st, people in western countries dress themselves in costumes to celebrate Halloween. School dances and neighbourhood parties are popular on that day. Pranks are played for fun.

Many western festivals are very popular all over the world, such as Christmas, Thanksgiving Day, April Fool’s Day and so on. Personally, I think the western festivals are romantic and exciting. Colourful decorations are filled with all streets. People will gather together and hold parties. They have a good time singing and dancing during the parties.

Traditional Chinese festivals are popular too. The Mid-autumn Festival is my favourite. It falls on the fifteenth day of the eighth lunar month. On this day, the moon is said to be its biggest and brightest so people meet in the evening and watch the moon. This festival is important because it is a special occasion for family. The traditional food, moon cakes, are made with bean paste, but nowadays there many different kinds of moon cakes, including fruit, coffee and even ice-cream moon cakes.

In my opinion, I prefer the traditional Chinese festivals to western festivals. China has a long history and its festivals are full of cultural meanings. Chinese people enjoy food, the traditional activities of the festivals as well as the love of their motherland.
