I Still Remember That Halloween Days and days past I’m not a child any longer. But I still remember that Halloween 31st October 2001. That was Saturday. I went to study English with an American girl named Debby as usual.
We had 5 students altogether. Before that week Debby had already told us to learn something about Halloween ourselves. On that day Debby spent an hour describing this American festival for us such as “trick or cheat” pumpkin and even she took a pumpkin with her. First she took out a finished pumpkin lantern.
That was really beautiful and ugly we liked it so much. Then she taught us how to make a pumpkin lantern by ourselves. We each held a small knife learnt to cut and draw something on that pumpkin. Finally we made it and put a short candle into it. That was truly happy. And the most surprising thing was that the lantern was a present for that day’s super student. Who will that be? My god! That was me!

Do you know how excited I was then? I held it jumping and shouting. That was the most unforgettable day to me. And I will not forget it never!
