 Have you ever watched Alice in Wonderland? I did and I really like it.  The film is about Alice, who is now a teenager.  A man wants to marry her, but she runs away and falls down a rabbit hole.  She travels to Wonderland, which she has visited before as a child, and meets a lot of amazing characters on her adventures.

 There are a lot of good special effects in the film.  The Red Queen, played by Helena Bonham Carter, is very scary, and Johnny Depp is brilliant as the Mad Hatter.  Mia Waslkowska is good as Alice; this is her first big film and I think she’s going to become a big star!

 Overall, I think this is a good film for teenagers, but it’s a bit long.  You should see it if you like fantasy and adventure, but don’t go if you like romances: it’s not a love story.

V.  Read the text and answer the following questions.  (2 pts. )

Americans celebrate Halloween on October 31.  Halloween means “holy” (hallow “evening” (een).  This is the evening before the Christian holy day of All Saints Day. Before Christianity, people in Europe believed that on October 31 ghosts of dead people came back.  To scare the ghosts, people dressed like devils.  Later, people did not believe in ghosts, but they kept the day of Halloween for fun.

Immigrants came from Europe to America and brought with them the custom of Halloween.  Halloween has some strange symbols.  One symbol is the jack-o’-lantern in the window.  The jack-o’-lantern is to scare the ghosts.  People cut the pumpkin, throw away all of the inside, and cut a face in it.  Then they put a candle inside of it.  Jack-o’-lantern usually looks scary, too!
