Halloween, it doesn't belong to our culture, but nowadays it is consider as one of our local festivals, due to it has been around us for so many years.

I completely agree with the decision of still celebrating it in our country. One of the main reasons why I am on the yes side it's because this day bring so many advantages to the people: it promotes the family celebrations in which all the relatives hang out and stay all together in that night. They remember those people who aren't here any more and pray for them in a happy way. 

Also, the preparations for it give a lot of people the chance of earning more money during October. Shops take advantage of it and sell stuff related with Halloween. 

Halloween, it is such a funny night for children but even for adults. Everyone dress up as monsters and withces and costumes related with this horror night.

To sum up, I think this celebration is a very good way to have fun with friends an dfamily and also it helps our country's economy, so that's why I think we shouldn't remove this tradition from our Spanish culture.

The carnivals of Brazil, are a celebration that I have never been part of it but I would like to participate sometime.

From this festivity, I know that the whole population of Brazil dresses up in amazing costumes and for a week, they go out and don't stop dancing with each other.

What I find most attractive are the incredible costumes especially those of women and also the good time that they spend all together although not all people know each other.

To make my wish come true, first, I would have to get a trip to the country in February because that's when carnival is celebrated.

I would need at least 3000 euros because the plane ticket is very expensive and I would also need money to be able to make a costume like Brazilians one. I would go by plane and I would stay at my grandparents' home, who have lived there since they were childs. I would stay for at least a month, and when the carnival ended, I would enjoy the beaches and visit the whole city. Of course, I would go with my mum, because she hasn't visited her country or origin for a long time and I'm sure she would be very excited about it.
