early.

5. Telephone manner
• Do Not Leave people on Hold for Long Periods – the most irritating
part of a call for a customer is being left on hold, sometimes this is
necessary but does not have to be prolonged and can often lead to
a people disconnecting the line.
• Clear and Concise – Always stay calm and talk clearly and concisely.
Often company members who are not confident in phone situations
will talk quickly to get through the information and deal with the
call as soon as possible. To make your customers feel secure in your
hands, talk slowly and clearly, even if you are nervous do not let the
customer know.

19. Definition of HaLLoween
• Halloween is a holiday annually celebrated on
October 31. Some people hold Halloween
parties on or around this date, where the
hosts and guests often dress up as skeletons,
ghosts or other scary figures. Common
symbols of Halloween include pumpkins, bats
and spiders.

20. Background
• Halloween has its origins in pagan festivals held around the end of
October in England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland. People believed that, at
this time of year, the spirits of dead people could come 'alive' and walk
among the living. They thought that it was important to dress up in
costumes when venturing outside, to avoid being harmed by the spirits.
This may be the origin of the Halloween costumes seen today. In Puritan
times, Halloween celebrations were outlawed, but they were revived in
later times.
• Halloween used to be called All Hallows Eve, or the day before All Saints'
Day, observed on November 1. Halloween is also known as Nut-crack
Night, Thump-the-door Night or Apple and Candle Night. Some people call
Halloween Bob Apple Night or Duck Apple Night. This comes from a
traditional game played at this time of year and known as 'apple bobbing'
or 'apple ducking'. A bucket or other container is filled with water and one
or more apples are floated on the water. The contestants take turns trying
to catch an apple with their teeth. They must hold their hands behind
their backs at all times.

21. • Some people believe that apple bobbing is a reminder
of the way women accused of witchcraft in the middle
ages were tried. They were tied to a chair and
repeatedly ducked into a river or pond. If a woman
drowned, she was declared innocent. If she survived,
she was declared a witch and burnt at the stake. Others
think that apple bobbing is a way for young people to
predict who they will marry or whether their partner is
faithful.
• Some aspects of the modern Halloween celebrations,
such as carving lanterns out of vegetables originated
long ago. Others were introduced more recently, often
as a form of commercial promotion. Many customs
originated in the United States and have travelled back
to the United Kingdom.

22. What do People do ?

parties where guests are often expected to arrive in a

• Some children go trick-or-treating. This means that they
dress up and go to other peoples' houses, knocking on the
door for treat of sweets or a snack. Those who do not give
out a treat may be tricked with a joke instead.
