 Advertising

Advertising is a message that tries to sell something. Companies advertise everything from
cars to candy. Advertising is also used to change people’s ideas. For example, an ad could try
to make voters choose a certain candidate for president. Ads appear almost everywhere you
look. You find them on the radio and on TV, in magazines, shop windows and on T shirts. They
show up inside elevators, on school buses and even in schools. About 600 billion dollars are
spent on advertising around the world every year.

 History of Halloween

Like many other holidays, Halloween has evolved and changed throughout history. Over 2,000
years ago people called the Celts lived in what is now Ireland, the UK, and parts of Northern
France. November 1 was their New Year's Day. They believed that the night before the New
Year was a time when the living and the dead came together.

The tradition of Halloween was carried to America by the immigrating Europeans. Some of the
traditions changed a little, though. For example, on Halloween in Europe some people would
carry lanterns made from turnips. In America, pumpkins were more common. So people began
putting candles inside them and using them as lanterns.

These days Halloween is not usually considered a religious holiday. It is primarily a fun day for
children. Children dress up in costumes like people did a thousand years ago. But instead of
worrying about evil spirits, they go from house to house. They knock on doors and say "trick or
treat." The owner of each house gives candy or something special to each trick or treater.

 Christopher Columbus

Christopher Columbus was probably the most famous explorer of the era. He achieved fame by
sailing west in search of a sea route to India. Instead of reaching India he discovered that there
was an unknown mass of land in between, land that the Europeans knew nothing of. Columbus
was born in Genoa, Italy in 1451 and during his early years his father took him on various sailing
trips and wanted to make a merchant out of him.

Like many navigators of that time, Columbus also wanted to sail to India and the Far East. He
thought that if he sailed west he would also reach the Spice Islands of Asia and India. When he
went to the king of Portugal to present his plan, but it was rejected. Queen Isabella of Spain
admired young and brave men like Columbus and so she gave him three ships—the Nina, the
Pinta and the Santa Maria—and a crew of 90 men.

Columbus left Spain on August 3, 1492. After two months of sailing westward, he landed on an
island of the Bahamas, San Salvador, on October 12, 1492. Because he thought he had reached
the islands near India he called the natives Indians.

All together, Columbus made four voyages to the New World between 1492 and 1504. He explored
the coasts of Cuba, Jamaica , Hispaniola, and Puerto Rico. On his last two voyages, Columbus
reached the mainland of Central and South America and travelled as far south as the mouth of the
Orinoco River. After he came home from his fourth voyage, Christopher Columbus fell ill and died
in 1506.
