On Nov, 2nd, 2008, we have a special day in Anqing Foreign Language School.

We spend a whole day celebrating Halloween. Halloween is a famous western festival, which always comes on October 31st. The children like this festival very much, because they can do many interesting things on this day.

Now, let’s see what the children do for Halloween in our school.

The students, most of them come from other schools, take the school bus in the early morning. Many students are in Grade 6 and 7.they dress up in different ways. Some wear special clothes, some wear masks, some dress up as Monkey king, tiger or cat. So we do not know who they are. It’s wonderful.

What attracts us most is their own pumpkin lanterns. Each class of Grade Seven in our school holds a pumpkin lantern show on the playground. They cut out the eyes, the nose, and the sharp teeth. Some just put candles in them so the light shines through the eyes, the nose and the teeth. These special pumpkin lanterns interest many students That’s so great!

There are many different kinds of activities and games for students to join in and enjoy. Like answering questions, throwing the ping pang ball, singing and dancing. If the students join in, they are very likely to get the rewards, candies, pens, pencil-sharpeners and erasers. All the games are very interesting and exciting. The foreign teachers also come to play with students , they wear their special costumes with masks, which make children very interested. Though it’s a busy day, the children all feel excited and happy.

What a special celebration!

連日的陰雨洗滌著孩子們的緊張學(xué)習(xí)情緒，放松身心的孩子們準(zhǔn)備享受我校舉辦的萬圣節(jié)，陽光透過云霧偷窺著校園內(nèi)一群群快樂的笑臉，分享孩子們的快樂。

11月2日七點不到，通往我校的大道上便車流如梭、人流如織。三三兩兩的中、小學(xué)生一身輕裝，邁著輕快的步伐奔向我校。他們談著一個共同的話題——萬圣節(jié)，安慶外國語學(xué)校舉辦萬圣節(jié)。

萬圣節(jié)是西方文化中的一個傳統(tǒng)節(jié)日，是孩子們自由快樂的節(jié)日。孩子在這一天可以向鄰居索要糖果，可以化妝自己、雕刻南瓜展示自己才藝與他人共享快樂。我校把這一西方傳統(tǒng)文化融入我們文化中來，在了解西方文化的同時，展示我們孩子們的才藝，享受我們的快樂。

操場上擠滿了來自市區(qū)各中、小學(xué)學(xué)生，戴著各色各樣面具的孩子是流動的靚麗的風(fēng)景。那雕刻的南瓜作品如鳳凰般精美絕倫，把那夸張的形式用到極致，那頭發(fā)有長有短五顏六色；那眼或大或小形狀各異；那鼻子五花八門；那嘴和舌更是奇形怪狀。各色作品令人目不暇接，看了本想在孩子們面前保持矜持點頭微笑，卻也忍不住開懷大笑。投球、套圈、吹氣球等等，歡笑、尖叫和歌聲摻和在一起滋潤每一個人的心田。

放飛快樂，放飛夢想。
