7. Read the text and then answer the questions:

Halloween
Halloween is a time of celebration and superstition. In some American states its more
celebrated than Easter and Christmas combined!

The American Halloween tradition of trick-or-treating and the dressing of costumes

were both European and Celtic roots. The Celts were the most superstitious people of
ancient times. They believed that evil spirits came to earth during the long winter
nights. So, on the last night before winter, they made bonfires and wore ugly costumes
to scare the evil spirits away.

Modern Halloween is less scary than it was in the past. At Halloween parties there are
prizes for the most beautiful costumes.

What a Wonderful World
LOUIS ARMSTRONG

I see trees of _____________________1,

__________________2 roses too
I see them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world
I see skies so ____________________3 and
___________________4 of ____________________5
The bright blessed days,
the dark sacred night
And I think to myself,
what a wonderful world
The colors of the ____________________6,
so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people going by
I see friends shaking hands, saying, "_______________________7"
They're really saying, "________________________8"
I hear babies cry, I watch them grow
They'll learn much more, than I'll never know
And I think to myself,
what a wonderful world
Yes, I think to myself,
what a wonderful world

rainbow I love you - green blue clouds - white how do you do? - red
