新概念英语第二册第47课-a-thirsty-ghost-嗜酒的鬼魂.ppt

The ghosts take many forms depending on the way in which the person died, and are often harmful. Many Chinese people today consider that it is possible to contact the spirits of their ancestors through a medium, and that the ancestor can help their descendants if properly respected and rewarded. The annual ghost festival is celebrated by Chinese around the world. On this day ghosts and spirits, including those of the deceased ancestors, come out from the lower realm. The Chinese Ghost Festival also called Half July (Lunar) is celebrated on the 15th day of the seventh lunar month. Questions on the text: 1. What did Mr. Ian Thompson buy recently?
