Extension: Talk or Write About It

Sample answer: In Korea there is a scary story about a woman called “Red Mask Lady” or “Slit-Mouthed Woman.” She wears a mask to hide a big scar on her face, and she walks around asking people if she’s pretty. The story also says that she chases children and tries to kill them. I’m sure she does not exist—it’s just a scary story that people tell for entertainment. I think the story originally came from Japan.

Extension: Talk or Write About It

Sample answer: A few years ago, there were riots in London in which normally well-behaved kids destroyed property and stole things. People seem to act differently when in a large group than when they are on their own. If a lot of other people are doing something, it doesn’t seem so bad. I think the reasons that we need sleep and why we dream are still pretty mysterious.
