 Last fall I was in the USA and I saw the
Halloween preparations and the celebrations. It
was very interesting and exciting.
In October there were a lot of (1)pumpkins
in the gardens. Scarecrows protected them from
the birds. Then people cut frightening or funny
faces in them and made (2)jack-o’-lanterns.
On 31st October they put candles inside these
‘lamps’ and put them in the windows and in front
of the house to frighten away (3)witches and
(4)ghosts.
In the evening people dressed up and had
Halloween parties. The children next door invited
me to go with them from house to house: it is
called (5)trick or treating. It was very dark
when we left, and when I saw a (6)black cat, I
screamed. Then I thought that the birds were
(7)bats and the house at the end of the street
was a (8)haunted house. The children didn’t
laugh at me, because it was my first Halloween.
We got a lot of sweets and (9)cakes. My
Halloween (10)bag was full.
I had a great time!
