In Canada and the United States, one of the most popular days of the year is Halloween. Halloween is on October 31. It‘s a day when some people dress up in strange or unusual costumes. For example, they may dress up to look like an animal, a person from a book or movie, or a famous person from history. In some places, when children go to school on Halloween, they wear their Halloween costumes to school.

After the children knock on the door, they shout, ―Trick or treat.‖ Then the neighbor gives them some candy before they go onto the next house.

More than half of what we communicate is communicated not through words but through body language. This includes our posture, facial expressions, and gestures. Because body language is so important, you‘ll want to know what yours is saying and how to interpret other people‘s , too. Here are some examples of body language and its meaning. ( Note: These meanings are for North America. Interpretations may differ a bit in other culture.)

A smile is a sign of friendliness and interest. But people some times smile just to be polite. To get an another clue from people‘s

faces, notice their eyes. Friendliness and interest are expressed when a person‘s eyes meet yours (especially when you‘re the one who‘s talking) and then look away and meet yours again.

Busy Weekends

Most American businesses are open five days a week. American school children go to school five days a week, too. American families usually have a two-day weekend. The weekend includes Saturday and Sunday. People spend their weekends in many different ways. Many families enjoy weekends together. They may go shopping or go to visit friends. They may also invite friends to have a party at home. Many American families have sports during the weekends. Running, bicycling, playing volleyball and swimming are popular in summer. Skiing and skating are the favorite winter sports. Weekends are also a time for American families to work on something in their yards or their houses. Many families plant flowers and they usually have vegetable gardens. Some families use weekends to paint or repair their houses. So, most Americans are very busy on weekends. In American colleges and high schools, students often have dances at their schools on weekends. Students usually do the dances and do a lot of work for them. They do this in committee. There was a dance last Friday night at Peter and Mary‘s school. Mary was on the decorating committee and Peter was on the cleanup committee. The dance was in the school gymnasium. Every student paid two dollars for the dance. They spent some of the money on decoration and they hired a band to play music. They also bought some food and drinks. The dance began at 7 o‘clock.

Passage 5

The New Restaurants in Town

My name is Joanna. This week I tried two new restaurants—Michelle‘s and Anton‘s. They are both French restaurants downtown. Michelle‘s is a small place with about twenty tables. The waiters and waitresses are very friendly, and the service excellent. I ordered chicken with orange sauce along with rice and a salad. Then I had chocolate cake and coffee. The chicken was delicious, but the cake was too dry. The meal cost about twenty dollars.

Anton‘s is a much bigger restaurant, and it was very crowded on that night. I waited twenty minutes for a table. Anton‘s is noisier than Michelle‘s and the waiter was very slow with my meal. I ordered soup and a steak with fried potatoes and vegetables. The soup wasn‘t very hot. The steak was OK, but the vegetables weren‘t very good. For dessert, I had ice cream. The meal was really expensive-about forty-five dollars! Now you know why I would go to Michelle‘s again, but not to Anton‘s.
