Halloween.

31 October-this day is when Halloween is celebrated. This holiday also named All Saints' Eve. Halloween is celebrated in the United States of America and other English speaking countries.

Several days before this holiday in shops appear pumpkins, scary costumes, strange sweets. Also people put on their houses plastic skeletons, witch hats.

One of tradition of halloween is trick-or-treating. At evening, little children knock the doors and say "trick-or-treat" and people must give them a sweet.

Halloween costumes are very interesting. Girls can wear princess or witch dress. Boys skeleton or superman. Decorations of holiday are interesting too. Ghosts, plastic skulls, witches, and pumpkins. Last is giving vent to imagination.

Halloween food. It's very scary-looking. Example, witch fingers. This can be a cookie. Dough formed fingers, almond "replaces" nails. But it is still edible flavor.

TV can show horror movies. But halloween isn't official holiday. Students go to school on this day.

Red cross-assistant to all.

The International Committee of the Red Cross is located in Geneva, Switzerland. This committee was founded on June 24, 1863. Also Red Cross has three Nobel Peace Prizes.

These things say that Red Cross helps to people whom needed. Example, during war or natural disasters. No matter where it happens.

The International Committee of the Red Cross has its own history. In 1859 Henry Dunant, met with French emperor Napoleon III. Two men talked about the difficalties of working in Algeria, which was the French territory. When Henry Dunant arrived in town Solferino and saw fighting during several thousands of soldiers died and injuries.

When he returned to home he wrote book A memory of Solferino. Henry Dunant said about lack of help.

So it was beginning for The Intenational Committee of the Red Cross.
