Olga: Alice, it can be a stupid question, but I’m afraid I don’t know much about Halloween. What is it like?

Alice: I’m sure you’ll enjoy it. Such parties are usually great fun. People dress up in strange costumes and pretend they’re ghosts and witches.

Olga: Oh… are you sure I’m going to like it? It sounds very unusual.

Alice: Don’t be silly, we’ll play games and dance and laugh a lot. And you know what, when the party is over, we’ll put on white sheets and knock on our neighbours’ doors asking if they would like a «trick» or «treat».

Olga: Trick or treat? What d’you mean?

Alice (laughing): Nothing dangerous. If they give us a treat — some sweets, nuts or cakes — we’ll say «thank you» and go away. But if they don’t we’ll play a trick on them.

Olga: What? A trick? What shall we do?

Alice: We’ll make a lot of noise and throw flour on their front doorstep!

Olga: Wow!

Alice: But can you help me to get ready for the party?

Olga: Of course I will. What shall I do?

Alice: We’ll cut an ugly face in a pumpkin and put a candle inside. It will shine through the eye holes. Then we’ll take the pumpkin to the party to decorate the hall.

Olga: How interesting! I’ve never heard about this holiday before. We don’t have it in Russia.

Alice: You just wait! On the 5th of November I’ll take you to see a Guy Fawkes night.

Перевод диалога в косвенную речь (Reported Speech)

Olga told Alice that it might be a stupid question, but she was afraid she didn't know much about Halloween. She asked Alice what it was like.

Alice replied that she was sure Olga would enjoy it. She explained that such parties were usually great fun. She said that people dressed up in strange costumes and pretended that they were ghosts and witches.

Olga asked Alice if she was sure that she was going to like it. She added that it sounded very unusual.

Alice told Olga not to be silly. She said that they would play games, dance and laugh a lot. She also explained that when the party was over, they would put on white sheets and knock on their neighbours' doors, asking if they would like a trick or a treat.

Olga was surprised and asked Alice what she meant by "trick or treat".

Alice laughed and explained that it was nothing dangerous. She said that if their neighbours gave them a treat, such as some sweets, nuts or cakes, they would thank them and go away. But if their neighbours didn't give them anything, they would play a trick on them.

Olga was surprised again and asked Alice what kind of trick they would play and what they would do.

Alice replied that they would make a lot of noise and throw flour on their neighbours' front doorsteps.

Olga exclaimed in surprise.

Then Alice asked Olga if she could help her get ready for the party.

Olga agreed and said that of course she would help her. She asked Alice what she should do.

Alice explained that they would cut an ugly face in a pumpkin and put a candle inside it. She said that the candle would shine through the eye holes. Then they would take the pumpkin to the party to decorate the hall.

Olga said that it was very interesting. She added that she had never heard about that holiday before and that they didn't have it in Russia.

Alice told Olga to wait and promised that on the 5th of November she would take her to see Guy Fawkes Night.
