JAPORTILLO I2F ------- Jack o´lantern ---------
Long time ago a young student came back home from the school with a huge pumpkin that he had won during a Halloween championship. His mother had never seen a pumpkin so big, and quickly she said, I´m going to cook this jewel with a delicious potatoes and it´s going to be the best dinner that you have ever tasted.
No mun said the scary boy, it´s Halloween time and if you cook a pumpkin something malefic will happen.
His mother didn´t believe in God and neither the devil so when his scary son felt sleep, she took the pumpkin and she made her best pumpkin dish. Next day in the morning his mother prepared several eggs with a small bowl of pumpkin cream to breakfast.
When she went to the room of her son in order to get up him, the room was empty, her son wasn´t at home and she was very scary, suddenly she had a bad feeling and she run to the kitchen and opened the refrigerator, in front of her, the bottle of pumpkin cream had a small head drawn in it and it wasn´t the Jack o´lantern.

When he got to the back garden, he broke out in shouts, there was a big table with 5 dishes on which were written their name (Alex, Paula, Lorena, Raquel and him). Then, Lorena, who had arrived where he was, saw an enormous spider which was bigger than her, and as soon as they could react, they ran into the house.

-The hunted house-
It seemed like an ordinary day in the Peter's life. It was Friday at ten o'clock, the time when his parents go out to have dinner with their friends.
Peter didn't go to sleep until his parents had arrived, but those night they didn't arrived at the preview time. Peter was a little worried and he decided to call him. He went downstairs. He will take the phone when a strange noise sounded at the other end of the house. He went to investigate what's up in the kitchen. He didn't see anything. When he returned to the hall to call his parents, the phone wasn't there.
-That's odd.-Peter thought.
Then, the noise of a car engine was heard. The car was near the house, so he decided yo go to his bed to have a good view of the entrance of his house. He didn't see anything. One minute later, the living room's window sounded like if someone would its opened. It went downstairs again and inspectioned the living room. He didn't see anything. He thought that he was going crazy and he decided to go to sleep. When he was returning to his bedroom, he saw that someone was coming in the back door of the house...

THE NEIGHBOUR´S DOG
I heard again. I tried to sleep but I heard again the noise which didn´t let me sleep the last two nights.
I got up and turned on my bedside lamp. I put me my house slippers and I went downstairs in the darkness. I know enough my house to walk in the darkness without falling.
I tried to find the annoying noise. I thought that the noise procedured of the garden. I raised the blind and opened the window. I saw the full moon and the garden. I couldn't find the noise.
Suddenly, I felt a chill and a cold hand was supported in my shoulder. I gave a shock and turned with fear. He was my brother. He said me that the noise was the new dog of my neighbour. It was snoring.

Thank you

Ichiii I2E "The dreamed birthday"
It was a special day in November, since we were going to celebrate the birthday of one of my friends in a cottage on the outskirts of the city in the middle of the mountains. We got into the car, and on the way to the cottage, looking outside the window, I thought I saw the face of a girl. When we arrived at the cottage, we sat at tables and chatted while we were eating. Suddenly, it started to rain. So we decided to go inside the house and my friend opened the presents.
We watched a movie and, in the evening, after it stopped raining, we went out to play at the night hideaway. The space was very large and we would find many shrubs to hide. Almost always I lost, until I had to hide and went to a very remoted place. I couldn't hear anything, just the rocking of the wind, or the voices of my friends. Then, when I decided to come back, there appeared before me the ghost of a girl who was looking at me. She was short and dark, her eyes ere wide open so I ran. I woke up in my bed without knowing if that situation had been real or everything was a dream.
The Legion
In 1965 when October ends, I decided to take possesion of a piece of land, because i needed a place to live and I did not have money for this. Some people like me, did the same with terrains around of mine, we did not have nothing, no watter, no electric energy, we had only our hopes for a better tomorrow.
The old cementery of the city was near this place, maybe 60 meters of distance, but this was not important for us, in our minds only we saw a new live. I’m remembering that one day about 3 a.m when I was sleeping, I heard a lot of footsteps on the street, suddenly I woke up and opened my eyes. For a momment my heart stopped and a great sense of sad invided myself; and I decided to go out.
When I was on the Street, I saw many people walking to the cementery with old candles in their hands; They wore clothes from all ages that I knew, and I thought “is this real?”. I walked to them slowly, and at this moment I listened “welcome to the legion”…
At the next morning my lifeless body was meet for my friends. Since 1965, I was losting my memories, I don’t remember my name, I don’t remember my family. Every October, 31, I have a mission: more people for the legion.
I’ll see you soon.
TRICK
Jesús López-Linares García. I2E
“Trick or treating”. I have heard these words all morning. These boys are very bored because it isn´t normal: all day disturbing with this expression, calling at home and offering their candies. And those ugly costumes. They are awful, specially the little girl, dressed black clothes, that pointed hat and those wrinkles on her white face. She looks a witch. It is spooky!
I´m lucky because now I´m far from the village, walking to my fields where I have to water. But, what is this black bird? And this, and this, they look they want to bite me!! Please, help. They are bats. Hurry, I´m close to the cemetery and in a few minutes, I will be in my fields. But there is a lot of light in the cemetery. What is the problem? Oh¡ It´s incredible, there is a little pumpkin in each tomb, with terrible eyes and a big mouth. And they have light. What is this? I can´t believe it. I have to get out from here. My fields are at the end of the cemetery. I´ll be sure there.
But now, what is that? My field of melons are full of pumpkins¡ And who is that girl in the middle of the field? She dresses black clothes and a pointed hat, Eh! I know you, you are …
In that moment the girl moved her arm where she had a broomstick and all the pumpkins lighted on and they showed their terrible eyes and monstrous mouths through an interior yellow light.
Trick, trick!!!, I was shouting when my sister waked up me.

Halloween, A good example of sharing beliefs
Adriana Nieto Arevalo
Intermediate English F
The people who lives in anglo countries borns with Halloween tradition. Asking for candies, singing and enjoying the 31th of October is the typical celebration. The thing is that this tradition is the good result of join a Celtic celebration (Samhain) and a Cristian holiday (Day of all Saints).
The end of the harvest season in Celtic culture was celebrated at Samhain and was regarded as the "Celtic New Year", which began with the dark season.
The families were invited and honoured while the harmful spirits were removed. And on the other hand, Christians since ancient times have a day to remember all Saints and the day before was a preparation to invoke them.
Both cultures consider the night of 31th of October a day as celebration as day of the spirits, that will help in so many ways.
Everything can be compatible in this life because is the good thing of the life: that any issue could have different interpretations, meanings and it’s not necessary to impose a belief by force to be considered better than the rest. If we solve our differences looking for agreement that could include different points of view would avoid wasting resources, money and people.
The good first Halloween
Once upon a time a girl named María, who was 8. She wanted to have a Halloween’s great night because she hasn’t never had one.

Later, she come back to the park to play but she forgot to remove the water from the pumpkin and it began to grow up and grow up. When she arrived at home, she didn’t find it. María looked for everywhere but, nothing. The girl was very sad because of the event and she decided went to the bed. Suddenly, when she looked toward the window, saw her huge pumpkin. She couldn’t believe it! María tried to catch it, but she couldn’t because the pumpkin began to run! It turns out that it preferred to eat children and María didn’t know how to stop the situation because she was responsible. Of tiredness, she fell asleep and when woke up, the little girl realized that it had been a dream! She was a little disappointed but now, had one story to tell people!

Once there was a little and dark town that had an old and forgotten cinema. Long time ago, twice in a week, there were projections of horror movies. Little by little people stopped going to the cinema until it get closed.
Nowadays, one evening, a group of children who lives in the town, broke the main door of the cinema and came inside. It was so dirty and full of spiderwebs. They began walking through a large and narrow corridor witch had in the walls posters of the movies that were projected there. One of the children stopped to look one of the poster in the wall, it was of a Frankenstein movie and he noticed that Frankenstein is looking at him. Suddenly the eyes blinked and the boy began to run passing over his friends. They look behind and Frankenstein had taken life and go running behind them. There was a door at the end of the corridor but it was closed. The big monster was getting closer and closer of them when, suddenly, they were able to break the lock and get out of the cinema runnig without looking back.
This a good lesson for them and they never went inside the old cinema again.

I was in a enormous square hole like a huge grave. I started to move but there was a big height to exit. It seemed calm place but something was moving in that moment. A strange figure emerged from down among the human bodies. It seemed a mixture between a person and an animal. It came me slowimg down. I was horrified and started to look for the exit.
While it was following me, I went round the place and I found a long thing like a rope and fitted together with a dismembered bone. I threw the bone up but it didn´t set. More creatures emerged like that one. When they approached me, I gave them some other dead bodies. At the end, at the second bone throwing I got to set it, climbed and didn´t get to exit because they caught by a leg and ate me all my body... Aaahhhh!!!!(screaming)...
