It's been a long time since I've been here. I was writing at least one paragraph every day in italki app before. I am too lazy now. Even though I know that English writing is the most important thing for me, I am still very lazy to do it every day. I feel my English is getting worse, so I need to push myself to do some action. Today is a rainy day, we didn't go out to do any activity, kids were in the house and fighting together for a while, and parents also felt upset in the whole afternoon. Sometimes I think life is so difficult and is going to suffer a lot. The only way is to be positive and optimistic.

Halloween is celebrated every year on October 31st, and it has both ancient Celtic and Christian origins. Here’s a clear breakdown of why we celebrate Halloween: 🕯️ 1. Ancient Celtic Festival of Samhain Halloween originated from the Celtic festival called Samhain (pronounced “Sow-in”), celebrated about 2,000 years ago in areas like Ireland, Scotland, and Northern France. The Celts believed that on the night of October 31st, the boundary between the living and the dead became blurred — spirits of the dead could return to Earth. People lit bonfires and wore costumes to ward off evil spirits. 2. Christian Influence – All Hallows’ Eve Later, the Christian Church created All Saints’ Day (also called All Hallows’ Day) on November 1st, to honor all saints. The evening before it — October 31st — became known as All Hallows’ Eve, which eventually shortened to Halloween. 👻 3. Modern Celebration Over time, Halloween lost most of its religious meaning and became a fun, community-based celebration. Today, it’s known for: Trick-or-treating (children collecting candy) Costume parties Pumpkin carving (Jack-o’-lanterns) Spooky decorations and haunted houses 🌕 Meaning Today Halloween is now a mix of ancient tradition, folklore, and fun — celebrating the mystery of life, death, and imagination. It’s also a chance for people to express creativity and enjoy community spirit.

It's been a long time since I last came here. I used to write at least one paragraph every day on the italki app. Now I am too lazy to do it. Even though I know English writing skills are very important for me. Today is a rainy day, we only went out for dinner. After dinner my younger son went to take a drum class, I am afraid that he didn't want to take a lesson due to being too tired. Fortunately he was happy to take a lesson now.

Yesterday, I went to a seminar guidance at my university. There were many different seminars, and we could choose which ones to visit. I went to only four seminars, but my friend went to six. I know that it is better to visit many seminars to compare them, but there were not so many that I was really interested in.Among the four I visited, I found one seminar that really caught my attention. It was a seminar about horror movies. I have always loved horror movies, and this year I have already watched five of them. Some were scary, but I enjoyed them a lot.The teacher of the horror movie seminar looked very kind and enthusiastic. The atmosphere of the seminar was also exciting. I thought I could learn many interesting things there, such as how horror movies are made and why people enjoy being scared. That seminar sounded very attractive, so I decided that I want to join it.
