And the second one is about the famous parade which is held every year in New York:

Hello everyone. Welcome to this blog, where I will be putting materials related to what we've been doing in class. I hope you'll enjoy using it, and please feel free to make comments and suggestions.

First, since we've been making food for halloween, here's a halloween recipe....maybe a bit late for this halloween, sorry!

Here's a halloween song:

And a Halloween story:

The Hitchhiker

"This happened to a married couple in the U.S.A. They were driving along a lonely country road one night - it was really cold and it was snowing. As they turned a corner they saw a barefoot young girl wearing a dress and a green shawl. Of course, they stopped to help her and she got in and sat on the back seat. She didn't say much, and when they asked her where she lived she pointed to a farmhouse in the distance. A few minutes later, when they arrived at the farmhouse she was gone!

The couple were puzzled, but got out of the car and knocked on the farmhouse door. A sombre grey-haired womand answered, and the couple explained that their mysterious passenger had said that this was her home. "That's impossible" the woman replied "My daughter died near here twenty years ago, on this very night." Just inside the door, on an old wooden peg, hung her daughter's green shawl!"

Bye for now! Happy Halloween!
