My brother is always having accidents! He used to play
all kinds of sports and he’s broken both legs, fallen off
a horse and slipped on ice lots of times. He used to like
cooking but he’s cut his fingers and burnt his hands so
many times. So mum’s got a new rule: he mustn’t come
into the kitchen. He’s eighteen now and he’s crashed
his new car! He didn’t use to like computers but we’ve
bought him a new laptop and we’ve said to him: ‘Just
stay at home and write a blog about your dangerous
life: it’s the only way to stay safe!’

My friends and I had a Halloween party this year. We
spent a lot on Valentine’s Day and Mother’s Day, so
we wanted to save some money. We decided to do
everything ourselves. Tom is a good cook so he made
all the food. Sam is a great artist so she made all the
costumes. Tim and Monica play the guitar so they
did the music. We just needed someone to make the
invitations. We asked Maria but she was stressed about
her exams so we sent an email to everyone to make it
faster and cheaper. On the night, we were very nervous.
In the end, it was great: everyone enjoyed themselves
and was really scared at our Halloween party!
