The Most Popular Halloween Candy in the U.S.

 For a school assignment, we were given the freedom to choose an article to read and write a paragraph about. As Halloween is coming up, I decided to choose an article related to the star of the holiday - candy! 

After reading Newsela’s “The Most Popular Halloween Candy in America, By State”, article, I have gained new insights and understandings about the types of candy people are interested/not interested in. According to the article, the most favored candy in the U.S. are Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, followed by M&M chocolates. I have a personal connection to this, because Reese’s are definitely my favorite candy and M&M’s are also high on my list. As for the least liked candy in the U.S., Candy Corn, followed by Circus Peanuts. I almost find it funny that Circus Peanuts were the OG version of Candy Corn, yet people still hate Candy Corn more. I personally don’t hate Candy Corn, and can happily eat it once a year. According to the National Retail Federations Halloween spending's, we spend 3 Billion dollars a year on candy just for Halloween! Though it is a Holiday, that is a whole lot of money that can go towards life necessities and items for the people unable to afford things in order to survive. After reading the article, I now understand Americans taste in candy more, and found that every state has different favorites and taste pallets.

I did a interesting research about Michelle Kwan. Michelle Kwan was born 1980 in Torrance, California. Her ethic is Chinese and her parents were from Hong Kong. Michelle Kwan started skating at the age of 5 and went to Ice Castle Training Center in Lake Arrowhead in California. She was 18 years old when she went to the Olympics games. Michelle Kwan liked to skate a lot. I think Michelle Kwan has good performance because she is calm and relaxed. I think Kwan is a good ice skater because she made it all the way to the Olympics games. I think i am a good ice skater because i am in Basic 6. I would like to learn how to ice skate like Kwan.

Chinese New Year

I am going to write about Chinese New Year because my parents come from China and Chinese new year is February 16th. Here are some facts I learned about Chinese New Year. Chinese New Year is also called Lunar New Year. Chinese New Year was created to welcome spring but Chinese New Year does not happen on the same day every year because not all the time the groundhog sees his shadow. There are 12 symbols for the Chinese zodiac. The 12 symbols are Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, rooster, Dog and Pig. The year of 2018 is the year of the Dog. I was born in 2010 and I am a Tiger and my sister was born in 2014 and she is a Horse. Chinese New Year is very important because we welcome a new symbol. A Chinese New Year tradition is putting out fireworks and putting up lanterns. Chinese New Year lasts for about 15 days. This is what me and my family do on Chinese New Year this year. We went to Chinatown and we got toys and we got clothes. The clothes I got was
