The month of October has just started and that means that I have to start preparing my decorations for Halloween. I am so excited to get my friends and boyfriend to come over to decorate my house; I know it sounds corny, but I love any holiday that requires decorations. It's not only the decorating that I enjoy doing, but also pumpkin picking with my God daughter! I guess it gives me a sense of being young again.
Vocabulary:
decoration(noun)- a process of putting objects up for the holidays.

Grammar Point: Prepositions
Prepositions are linked to a verb an object.
Now you try it:
Underline the preposition in the sentence then write your own sentence with a preposition and underline it.

Hi, how are you? I really love your blog page... pink is very pretty. I also agree that Halloween is an exciting time and it's not corny to be excited about friends coming over to set up your house. I hope all works out and your holiday is a lot of fun, whatever you choose to do. I know how fun it is to see a Goddaughter dressed in a costume at Halloween. My nephew is adorable every Halloween and I can't wait to see what he'll look like this year!
I have to warn you that most ESL students, especially adults, are highly alarmed by the celebration of Halloween. They find the many evil images - witches, goblins, skeletons, ghosts -- to be alarming. Parents may not want their children to participate in Halloween celebrations.
The reasons for this dismay are usually religious, so ESL students and their families should be given a choice not to participate. Many view it as an acceptance of evil.
