Hello,

Today we watched the end of the third video about Halloween.

Here's the lesson:

History of Halloween / part 2

In Medieval Britain, the needy prepared [rd] soul cakes in exchange for prayers for the dead. That was “souling”.

Kids / Young people wore costumes, they told jokes and poetry, they sang, in exchange for wine, food and money. That was “guising”.

In 1950, Halloween became family-friendly and kid-centered.

Today, Halloween is big business! American people spend 6 billion dollars in costumes and candies every year!

BECOME > BECAME

TELL > TOLD

WEAR > WORE

SING > SANG

BE > WAS / WERE
