Tu es calme into imperitif?

What's the difference between the locations that can have preceding articles and those that can't?

This strikes me as strange phrase.  Can you explain a little how the parts semantically make up the whole?  Thanks!

Two options offered in answers for the last sentence. When do we use suivre de (qqch) and when suivre (qqch)? Thank you

Line 2:

Oh, mes rhumatismes me dérangent un peu......

Is the 'me' before dérangent missing? I've listened several times but can't hear it.

Please could we have English translations of the dictation passages? A dictionary does not always help with some of the vocabulary used e.g. 'rustre' 

Le père de Michel travaille dans un hôtel.

Will the un change to d' in the negative form? 

I went with "Le Halloween".

In my research, I found reference to an answer to a question that "Noël and Pâques don't have an article in front of them but the Saints days do". Is Halloween like Christmas and Easter (no article), and does this apply to other non-Saint holidays?
