Halloween is one of the most famous holidays in the U.S., and it is on October 31st. People carve pumpkins and make funny faces on them. These are called “Jack - O - Lanterns”. On October 31st, children wear a special costume such as a witch, ghost, or clown. They go to many houses and they knock on the door saying, “Trick or Treat!”. It means that if people don’t give them a treat, they will play some kind of trick on the household. So, usually people give candy to them. I carved my first Halloween pumpkin at my Friendship Family’s house. First, I cut open the top of the pumpkin and pulled the seeds out. It was not good for me because it was sticky and smelled bad. I had never carved a pumpkin, so it was interesting for me.
Next, I carved the eyes and the mouth. I put a candle inside. It was very beautiful, so I was happy. I had a good experience because I learned one new idea about American culture by taking part in it. I think Halloween is an American interesting holiday which involves all family members and neighbors too!
