Every year all sorts of different festivals are celebrated in Britain．Two of the most well- known British festivals are Bonfire Night and Halloween．
Bonfire Night has an interesting history．In 1605, a man called Guy Fawkes and some of his followers tried to blow up the British Houses of Parliament．They hoped that if they succeeded, they could take control of England and become its new rulers．Guy Fawkes and his men dug a tunnel under one of the Parliament buildings, and hid 36 barrels(桶)of gunpowder there．Fortunately, on November 5th, Guy Fawkes was caught just before he was able to light the fuse(导火线)．He and all his followers were burned to death．
Today, people in Britain celebrate Guy Fawkes’ capture by lighting fires and holding fireworks displays．
Halloween is celebrated in Britain on the night of October 31st．There are many customs associated with Halloween．One of these is the game of ‘trick or treat’．Children, dressed up as witches, ghosts or monsters, knock on their neighbours’ doors, and shout ‘trick or treat!’ If they are lucky, they receive a ‘treat’–a bar of chocolate, or some sweets or some money．If, however, their neighbours refuse to give them anything, they play a trick on them．They might spray their front door with shaving foam(剃须膏), or knock on their doors and then run away!
Another game played at Halloween is ‘bobbing for apples’．In this game, a bowl is filled with water, and apples are placed in it．Children then have to take a bite from one of the apples without using their hands．This game is difficult and messy(杂乱的), but great fun!
