About this A2 reading task

A short text with multiple-choice questions after it. It covers Halloween and the Mexican Day of the Dead side by side: the Celtic festival of Samhain the holiday grew out of, and what families do at the graves of their dead on 2 November.

The questions ask for detail rather than gist – what families do at the graves, which festival Halloween came from – and the text stays on screen while they are answered, so it can be read again.
