Halloween is one of the oldest holidays with origins going back thousands of years. The holiday we know as Halloween has had many influences from many cultures over the centuries.
Halloween was celebrated every year with a festival and marked the end of the "season of the sun" and the beginning of "the season of darkness and cold."
Halloween is on October 31st after the crops were all harvested and stored for the long winter the cooking fires in the homes would be extinguished.
People always dressed up skeletons, ghosts and scared clothes.
The festival would last for 3 days.
Many people would parade in costumes made from the skins and heads of their animals.
This festival would become the first Halloween.
So, Halloween is a scared festival.

30th October, 2007 Tuesday Rainy
Today, it was a wonderful day.
After school, I went home doing my homework.
First, I was doing my English homework.
There was little English homework.
It was because yesterday I had doing English homework most.
I like do English homework very much.
So, today l did English homework fast.
After that, I was doing Chinese homework.
There was much Chinese homework.
So, I was doing late.
Then, I was doing Mathematics homework.
I felt that it was very difficult about simple interest and compound interest.
I worried I don’t understand.
So, I was study hard on Mathematics.
Finally, I was doing Chinese History homework.
After I doing homework, I was practice piano.
There were many difficult songs.
But I persist to pluck.
After I practice piano, I was dancing.
I danced Latin with myself.
I felt very happy.
At eleven o’clock, I was practice pipa.
There were many easy songs.
For example, I pluck “My pride”.
After I practice pipa, I was revision.
At half past one, I was sleeping on my bed.
