Read the passage below and do the tasks that follow.

HALLOWEEN DAY

Halloween is a festival held on the 31st of October every year. The most common colors of the day are orange and black. Halloween comes from the ancient Celtic festival Samhain. The ancient Celts believed that at the night of October 31st, now known as Halloween, the boundary between the living and the deceased was not clear, and the dead became dangerous for the living by causing problems such as sickness or damaged crops.

On Halloween day, the ancient Celts would place a skeleton by their window to represent the dead. Believing that the head was the most powerful part of the body, containing the spirit and knowledge, the Celts used the "head" of vegetable to decorate their houses. On this day people often wear strange clothes as characters in horrible novels or movies to frighten others. People usually like to dress as ghosts, skeletons, or witches.
