Dear Cafetalk Community,

the weather is definitely getting much cooler in Canada! I hear it is finally getting cooler in Japan, Korea, China, and Taiwan, too! However, by the time Halloween comes around in Canada, it's pretty much winter season! I moved to Canada only 3 years ago, so I'm still new here. I know all about Los Angeles though. I've traveled all around the various nooks and crannies in Los Angeles. I lived in Santa Monica to be exact. As you can imagine, the weather was beautiful all year round! I lived by the beach and it was awesome! Don't ask me why I moved to freezing Canada! I think there's something wrong when the wind hurts your face when you walk outside!

--------------------------------------

Anyway, I would like to introduce a lesson about "Halloween!" I understand that "Halloween" is getting more and more popular in Asia! I hear it's a big celebration in big cities and English schools! If you're uncertain about where "Halloween" originated and what it's all about, I would like to offer a lesson just for you!

In American, "Halloween" is such a long-held celebration that I don't think Americans even know the real origin of the holiday. Along with finding out where it started, I would like to teach you some vocabulary words associated with "Halloween!"

Is your child interested in "Halloween?" Do you know what to do if you are invited to a "Halloween" activity, party, or parade? Whether you are a parent and want to give your child the best "Halloween" ever, don't you think you'll feel more confident after you take a lesson about "Halloween?"

Sooner or later, I believe "Halloween" will reach all corners of Asia. Why not "jump on the bandwagon" and be ahead of the game! Become familiar and learn about "Halloween!" I'll tell you all about it in a 30-minute lesson!

Usually, I offer 30-minute lessons for 1200 points. However, because I want to introduce you to the "Halloween" holiday, I will be offering this lesson for 1000 points for 30-mins. Why not learn about "Halloween" and learn new vocabulary at the same time! I think you will have fun!

[For example:] --> Do you know what these words mean?

apparition
bloodcurdling
cadaver
casket
decomposing
gory
gruesome
haunted
morbid
etc.

I hope you will drop me a line if you would like to learn the origins and festivities of "Halloween!" It would be my pleasure to teach you! This lesson includes an original text. Since my rates are lower for this lesson, it would be a good opportunity to meet you! I look forward to hearing from you!

Happy Halloween!

Warmest regards,
