There is a foreign holiday which has something to do with
pumpkins. I think you are supposed to carry a pumpkin around
on that day. I can't remember, which holiday is it?

Are you talking about Halloween?

Performances?

Lots of people gave performances on that day.
是的,那天有许多人表演。
Were they very scary performances?
是非常恐怖的表演吗?
Not scary, but very intense. I can't really remember it exactly.
We all danced. There were two circles, one for the girls and
one for the boys.
不是特别恐怖。我确实记不清楚了。只记得所有的人都跳舞。女孩组一个圈,男孩组一个圈。
For Halloween? Really?In America, we don't have such performances
on Halloween. Instead, we usually dress up in costumes and go
trick or treating. Trick or treating is a game where children
go to people's homes and ask for candy.
就为庆祝万圣节吗?真的吗?在美国,万圣节期间我们没有表演。而是另一种活动。小孩子穿上各色的化装服到各家去要吃的,否则就捉弄别人。
Yeah, it was a game. Then the foreign teachers asked us to
cut up the pumpkin, so we did and then we lit it up.
是的,是一个游戏。然后,外教们叫我们剖开南瓜,然后点着它。
You carved the pumpkin? The Jack-o-lantern.
