Dear Vicky!

Thank you for your letter. I hope you are happy to start a new school year.

Of course, we have got school rules, too. They are similar to your ones. All pupils should wear uniform, have to keep good discipline, come in class on time. Pupils have to respect teacher and each other. They have to be polite and friendly.

It is a great idea about a job. During holidays young people have free time to do what they want. They can earn money and have fun at the same time.

Would you like working with people and helping them? And what about babysitting or delivering newspapers? Do like to work in the garden or to clean parks?

I hope very much to hear from you in the near future.

Best wishes, Alex

Now we know and can tell you that Hallowe’en was first celebrated many centuries ago by Celtic priests called Druids. They thought that Hallowe’en was the night when the witches came out. As they were afraid of the witches they put on different clothes and painted their faces to deceive the evil spirits. This festival is widely celebrated in America. Young and old take part in parades together. They are dressed in costumes. There are hundreds of orange “pumpkins” in their hands. The festival lasts almost till early morning.

The British Isles are separated from the Continent by the North Sea, the English Channel and the Strait of Dover.

The western coast of Great Britain is washed by the Atlantic Ocean and the Irish Sea.
