I love Halloween. It’s on 31st October and on this night witches fly through the air on their broomsticks! We
always have a party.
My little brother, Michael, likes making a Halloween lantern at school. He makes a funny face in a big
round fruit called a pumpkin. It has two eyes, a nose and a big mouth. When it is dark, we put a light inside the
pumpkin.
I love fancy dress parties and we always wear fancy dress at our Halloween party. I love wearing my
witch’s costume. I wear my mother’s long black dress and a tall black hat. I’ve got a broomstick too, but I can’t
fly! This year Michael is wearing a ghost costume. He wears a big white sheet and he runs around the house
and shouts “Ooooooooooooooooh!”
The party starts at seven o’ clock. My friends all come in fancy dress. This year we have got five witches,
three ghosts and one vampire! We play Halloween games and we have sausages and chips to eat.
My American friend and her friends play a game called “Trick or Treat” at Halloween. They go to
people’s houses and say “Trick or Treat?” The people don’t want a trick, and they give sweets to the children. I
like that idea!
