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
