Hi, I'm Betty.
Last October, I attended a Halloween party in Boston, the USA.
The party was in my aunt's garden, and the place was beautiful with wonderful decorative objects.
There were carved pumpkins, colored lights, and pictures everywhere.
The food was delicious too, and all the dishes had scary names.
For example, chicken nuggets were called zombi nuggets, and the name of the apple juice was vampire blood.
They gave everyone chocolate bars and candies at the end of the night.
I had so much fun.
Hello, my name is Igor.
I live in Moscow, Russia.
We love going to themed fancy dress parties.
Last month, my dad and my mom organized a party at our house.
We prepared sandwiches and lemonade for the guests and decorated the place.
It was a career's fancy dress party, so everyone wore a costume of a different profession.
My dad had a doctor uniform, and my mom wore a nurse costume.
I want to be a pilot when I grow up, so I dress like a pilot.
Oh, there was a prize for the best costume.
The winner was Uncle Joe with his brilliant astronaut costume, and he won a medal made of cookies.
Hi, I'm Christine.
I live in Sydney, Australia.
I have a lot of close friends in our neighborhood, and we all love giving pyjama parties.
I was at my best friends, Diana's house, last weekend.
There were six of us, and we brought something to eat and drink, like crisps, biscuits, small burgers, and orange juice.
We wore our pyjamas and spent the night listening to our favorite songs, watching comedies and chatting.
It's really nice to have these wonderful friends.
Our parties are so much fun, and I feel very lucky.
