Halloween (万圣节) is a holiday widely celebrated with different names in many countries. It has now lost its religious connections and is celebrated largely as a children's day in the United States.
In recent years, on this day, children come to the door to have friends and neighbours admire their costumes and guess who they are behind the false faces and receive treats of candy, fruit or cookies. They say, “Trick or Treat", meaning, “I will play a trick on you if you do not give me a treat."
More recently , this practice has even developed into a significant international activity. Instead of candy, the children collect money for UNICEF(联合国国际儿童紧急救援基金). This special collection of money by children for needy children throughout the world is known as “UNICEF Trick or Treat". Begun only recently, it results in several million dollars each year contributed to UNICEF. The collection box is orange, reminiscent (引人联想的) of the pumpkin.

参考范文
From the passage we know that in recent years in the United States, Halloween has developed into a significant international activity, when children collect money for needy children throughout the world for UNICEF.
After reading the passage, I feel quite comforted that Halloween has developed into significant international activity to collect money for the poor children around the world. In this way I am sure more and more poor children, especially those in Africa and Asia, will be given financial aid and live a better and better life.
As for me, I will donate my pocket money to the poor children around me. Also I will try my best to persuade people around me to show their loving hearts for the needy children.
In my view, to help poor children , joint efforts from charities, enterprises and individuals are needed. First of all, charities should collect money for the needy children. Besides, enterprises and individuals should do what they can to provide support. What’s more, the United Nations should do its best to help the poor countries to develop their economy so that there are less and less poor children.
