Learn English How to Carve a Pumpkin for Halloween

hi everyone welcome to another English

video lesson I’m your teacher

Emma and this Saturday is Halloween

that’s right the 31st of October is

Halloween the night when everyone

dresses up in scary costumes crazy

costumes and runs around the streets

asking their neighbors and their friends

for candy or Lully’s play tricks on

people it’s lots of fun I hope you

celebrate it where you are to tell me if

you do I hope you’ve got your costume

ready

it’s almost Saturday ok but what we’re

going to do to celebrate today in our

lesson is make a jack-o'-lantern

you know what a jack-o'-lantern is even

if you don’t know the name it’s the big

pumpkin that has the scary face cut out

of it and usually people put candles

inside so that it lights in the dark a

good fun

and very easy to make all you need is

one big orange pumpkin

so the first thing we need to do is take

a pen and draw our design on our pumpkin

so we want to make sure it looks scary

so we’re going to do some big evil eyes

and a big scary math now we need to cut

a circle around the top of the pumpkin

and to do that we need a sharp knife so

we want to cut it out so that we make a

lid that we can take off our pumpkin

okay see if we can get this lid off

pumpkin guts perfect okay once we clean

this up we’ll have our lint that fits

onto our jack-o'-lantern but now we need

to hollow out the inside of this pumpkin

to do that we need a big spoon and we’ll

need to just start scooping out all of

this extra stuff inside you know the

stuff that’s inside pumpkin like seeds

and stringy stuff this is going to take

a bit of work

okay so we’re using the spoon to scoop

out the inside and actually you might

want to use some different utensils to

help you I think ice cream scoop might

help so see how that goes that’s quite

good actually

we are almost done it’s just a little

bit of stringy stuff left and seeds so

in the pumpkin these are the seeds and

I’m saying stringy stuff because I don’t

actually know what this is called so I

know you have the same problem all the

time when you can’t think of something

in English you can describe it though so

I don’t know what it’s called but I can

say the stringy stuff so it’s easier if

you if you forget what the name is or

you don’t know what the name is just

describe it don’t don’t get worried

don’t get freaked out because you can’t

remember the name even I can’t remember

the name we’re ready to carve out our

face we’re going to carve out the face

with a knife

using a knife peel the skin off the

teeth and carve out the eyes what do you

think he kind of looks cute he doesn’t

look too scary ah okay so now we need a

candle

I hope you have a wonderful Halloween
