Making pumpkin lanterns
November 1st every year is Halloween in the West. October 31st is Halloween. Whenever Halloween comes, children can't wait to put on colorful makeup clothes, strange masks, and carry a "Jack's lantern" to ask adults for holiday gifts. These are the two most widely known symbols of Halloween-the bizarre "Jack-lantern" and the "trick-or-treat" prank.

This was my first Halloween in the UK. When I was in Australia in the past, I always stayed with my China classmates, so I didn't feel much about foreign festivals. Although everyone was in a foreign country, they still lived according to the habits of China, and the traditional festivals of China were often celebrated. LG said that Halloween is mainly a holiday for Americans, and the UK is not as big as the United States. Hearing him say this, I naturally didn't take this day too seriously. Unexpectedly, two weeks ago, when I went to the supermarket to shop, I found that special costumes, masks and food for Halloween had been placed on the shelves early, creating a prosperous and lively scene. On Halloween, the staff in the supermarket all dressed up, each wearing a big black cloak and a witch's hat. The supermarket was crowded, and everyone was competing for Halloween food, so they suddenly realized and hurriedly snatched a pumpkin. A few toys and some chocolates and candies to cope with the evening's Trickor Treats.
