Job Interviews
For many people it is not so easy to go well in jobs interview. Sometimes they get
nervous and they cant answer the questions correctly or truly. Psychologists
prepare simple or puzzle questions about what people can do or cant do, according to
what they see in the curriculums. They also ask questions about peoples life
and sometimes the applicants lie to get the job. But psychologists are not stupid. They
can guess their answers according to their personalities traits. Then, you can answer
everything in a job interview. However, it doesnt mean you can get the job.
10. According to the text use (T) for True and (F) for False:
a) You can go well in a job interview.

Halloween
Halloween is a time of celebration and superstition. In some American states its more
celebrated than Easter and Christmas combined!
The American Halloween tradition of trick-or-treating and the dressing of costumes were
both European and Celtic roots. The Celts were the most superstitious people of ancient
times. They believed that evil spirits came to earth during the long winter nights. So, on the
last night before winter, they made bonfires and wore ugly costumes to scare the evil spirits
away.
Modern Halloween is less scary than it was in the past. At Halloween parties there are
prizes for the most beautiful costumes.
