me and my friend looked at each other like, what was that?

It was startling because it was totally quiet and then smashed.

What's up everyone?

Chào các bạn và chào mừng các bạn quay trở lại với tập nam của podcast Slow

and Clear của What's Up English.

My name is Carter and in this podcast,

we're going to talk about Halloween.

So in the beginning, you guys are going to learn the interesting history of Halloween.

Then we will talk about some activities that you do during Halloween.

And finally, at the end,

I'm going to tell you guys kind of like a ghost story.

But it's something that happened to me that I still remember to this day.

and it's kind of creepy.

Let's begin with the history of Halloween.

So maybe you know Halloween as the holiday where kids dress up in scary costumes

and they go door to door asking strangers for candy and that is called trick-or-treating, right?

But the way

that this started was roughly 2,000 years ago in what was known as the Celtic area

and now that area are countries like Ireland,

Scotland, Wales, countries in Great Britain now,

and also some countries in Europe.

So that area was pretty large,

and at that time, they had a holiday called Samhain.

And Samhain was on November 1st. And on this holiday,

people believed that ghosts would come back from the dead and roam around.

So what they did to stop the ghosts from coming into their homes was they would put things like bread

and wine at their doorstep.

so the ghosts would be happy with the offering and not go into their homes.

People would also wear masks when they were outside on the street because they believed that if they wore masks,

then the ghosts would think that they are ghosts too and leave them alone.

This day when the ghosts would roam around the streets used to be called Samhain.

And then they changed the name to All Hallows.

The day before All Hallows was All Hallows Eve.

And then that got shortened to Halloween.

To sum it up, Samhain was on November 1st. Samhain became All Hallows.

and then the day before All Hallows was All Hallows Eve because Eve means the day before,

like Christmas Eve.

And then All Hallows Eve became Halloween.

So that's how we have the name Halloween.

One thing that the poor people used to do at this time was they would go around begging for pastries

and if someone gave them the pastry,

in return, they would pray for that person.

They would pray for their ancestors,

or they would pray for their health.

They would pray for good weather,

just basically good things for whoever gave them these pastries.

This was called soling.

And there was another activity called guising.

And this one might sound a bit more familiar.

Guising was when young people,

kids, children, would dress up and then they would go around accepting food,

money, or wine, stuff like that,

in exchange for singing or saying a poem or telling a joke,

some form of entertainment.

And again, this was called guising.

But then much later on in America,

in the 19th century, these Irish and Scottish immigrants that came to America,

they brought back these old traditions.

And then in the 1950s,

around that time, those traditions became what is known today as trick-or-treating.

So these days, Halloween is a very big industry in America.

There was a statistic that Americans spent over $10 billion in 2021 for Halloween.

So it's a really big industry.

Now, as we can see,

it's spread to many, many countries around the world, including Vietnam.

Many kids like to dress up, get free candy, right?

Because everyone loves free candy.

So some things that people can do on Halloween are trick-or-treating, of course.

And trick-or-treating is when kids dress up as a monster or something scary.

and they go door to door or apartment to apartment and they say trick or treat and hopefully get a candy.

In the west

and also here we have Halloween parties where they have a theme they will dress up like a monster

or whatever and go to the party.

There are haunted houses and haunted means ghosts are there.

I remember when I was young,

I was maybe five or six years old,

and I was going trick-or-treating with my dad and my brother,

and there was a haunted house not too far from my house.

Some people in the West,

they put a lot of effort into creating something scary around their house or as a part of their house.

So in the West, we have garages where you park your car

and many people would turn those into a haunted house for kids.

And I remember I saw this haunted house and I was genuinely scared to go in because I was very young.

And the guy said, if you go into this haunted house,

I will give you a big candy bar.

Because most of the time they gave you small candy bars, right?

Small chocolate bars.

But he said, if I go in,

I'll get a big one like this it was tempting

but I couldn't do it

and I remember my brother he was three years older than me he did it

and he got a big chocolate bar

and I was thinking okay maybe next year I'll do it but this year I can't it's too scary

Other things that people do on Halloween are carving pumpkins.

And I think that's straightforward.

You have a pumpkin, you carve it into a face or anything that you want.

And then you can put a candle inside and it makes a really nice decoration.

Some places have hay rides.

And a hay ride is when you're at a farm.

100

And you sit on a tractor or a truck and it drives through the farm,

101

like the tall wheat fields.

102

So you cannot see very much, right?

103

And at nighttime, it's very creepy.

104

And there was one place in Canada called Saunders Farm.

105

And it was like a Halloween scary place.

106

On this hayride, you would go onto a truck and they would drive you through the hayfields.

107

So you are not in the truck,

108

but you are on the bed of the truck.

109

So you are still exposed to the outside.

110

And as they drive through the hayfield,

111

there's a guy with a fake chainsaw,

112

but he suddenly jumps out of the hayfield

113

and he starts chasing you on the truck with the chainsaw and it makes noise.

114

It's like, like it sounds,

115

it's a real chainsaw, but there's no chain on it.

116

So that is terrifying as a kid.

117

And it was like exciting, but also very scary.

118

Some other things people do are they watch horror movies,

119

like a horror movie marathon.

120

You can have bonfires tell scary stories around the bonfire.

121

Apple bobbing.

122

I didn't see it too often,

123

but yeah, people would grab an apple with their mouth from a barrel.

124

So yeah, those are a few things that people do on Halloween.

125

And finally, for the last part of this podcast,

126

I'm going to tell you guys a real,

127

true, creepy story that happened to me.

128

This is 100% true from what I saw and what I heard.

129

I'm not making anything up.

130

This was not at a time that was close to Halloween.

131

I can't remember exactly when it was.

132

I think it was in the winter in Canada.

133

and I was in my basement with my friend.

134

We were sitting next to each other.

135

In this room we were in,

136

there was another room not too far away,

137

but the door to that room was closed.

138

All of a sudden, we heard a very loud bang come from that room.

139

it sounded like something very heavy or large fell down

140

and smashed on the ground like it was loud

141

and as soon as that happened me

142

and my friend looked at each other like what was

143

that it was startling because it was totally quiet and then smash so the first thing that we thought was

144

something must have fallen down.

145

And let's go check on it.

146

So after that smash we got up we went to the room

147

that we heard the smash come from and everything was normal.

148

There was nothing on the floor,

149

nothing out of the ordinary,

150

just basically we were looking for anything because we were so convinced that something broke,

151

something big broke.

152

Hearing a bang that loud,

153

we thought we must be able to find something that made

154

that noise because it came from right there and it was so loud,

155

loud to the point where we looked at each other,

156

even thinking like, is someone breaking into the house.

157

It was really loud, but we could not find anything.

158

And we were pretty confused, to be honest.

159

But then I went back to the computer and then there was a pop-up on the screen.

160

And I remember this was maybe 10 years ago.

161

No, more than that.

162

Maybe about 12 years ago.

163

So this was with an old version of Windows,

164

and there was a pop-up on the screen with just the exclamation mark.

165

It was like the yellow triangle with the exclamation mark.

166

It was an Italian word.

167

That's all it was.

168

Just a pop-up with the Italian words on it.

169

I thought, that's weird.

170

So I googled what those words were and it turned out that it was a haunted house in Italy.

171

It was a house that was famous for having ghosts in it in Italy.

172

And I was like, what?

173

Why would that pop up on my computer?

174

It wasn't an advertisement.

175

It wasn't anything.

176

It had no purpose.

177

It just popped up and the only thing I could click was OK to close it.

178

It happened very shortly after that loud bang.

179

Another weird thing was the house we were in had been previously owned by Italian people because this area was very Italian.

180

There were many Italians that used to live there from the 50s.

181

so yeah it was very strange to this day I still don't know what

182

that bang was you know the my friend I was with he doesn't know um

183

so it's a mystery and I would say

184

that was the most paranormal thing

185

that has pretty much ever happened to me in my life because normally I'm not a person that believes in ghosts,

186

to be honest.

187

I'm pretty like logical and scientific.

188

And I think if there's no proof of something,

189

then I'm not going to believe it exists.

190

But that was one thing that I had no answer for.

191

It was very strange.

192

So that's it, guys.

193

That's it for this Halloween podcast.

194

I hope you enjoyed it.

195

I hope you learned some things about Halloween.

196

I hope you have a great Halloween.

197

Whatever you do, maybe you'll do nothing.

198

Maybe you will go out trick-or-treating.

199

Thank you so much for watching as usual.

쉐도잉이란? 영어 실력을 빠르게 키우는 과학적 방법

쉐도잉(Shadowing)은 원래 전문 통역사 훈련을 위해 개발된 언어 학습 기법으로, 다언어 학자인 Dr. Alexander Arguelles에 의해 대중화된 방법입니다. 핵심 원리는 간단하지만 매우 강력합니다: 원어민의 영어를 들으면서 1~2초의 짧은 지연으로 즉시 소리 내어 따라 말하는 것——마치 '그림자(shadow)'처럼 화자를 따라가는 것입니다. 문법 공부나 수동적인 청취와 달리, 쉐도잉은 뇌와 입 근육이 동시에 실시간으로 영어를 처리하고 재현하도록 훈련합니다. 연구에 따르면 이 방법은 발음 정확도, 억양, 리듬, 연음, 청취력, 말하기 유창성을 크게 향상시킵니다. IELTS 스피킹 준비와 자연스러운 영어 소통을 원하는 분들에게 특히 효과적입니다.
