12th October

　　Dear Kitty,

　　Thank you for the stamps that you gave me. They are very beautiful. I have put them in my stamp album.(小册子)

　　It will be Halloween on 31st October in Canada. That night, we will dress up as witches(巫婆), ghosts(鬼)and wild animals. We will play a game called“Trick or Treat”. Treat' means giving us sweets or presents. We will go from house to house and say,“Trick or Treat”. If someone does not give us sweets or presents, we will play a trick on him later.

　　That night, many people will put pumpkin(南瓜)lamps in front of their houses. They will make the pumpkins look like ugly faces and put candles in them. We always have fun on Halloween. Last year, I collected plenty of sweets!

　　Do you have Halloween in Hong Kong? Write to me soon.

Love,

Mary

　　In Hong Kong, there are many ways to travel on land. Many people travel by bus. The buses are often crowded and noisy. Sometimes we have to wait for a long time to get on a bus. Travelling by minibus is more expensive but it is faster. The minibus is also more comfortable because every passenger has a seat.

　　Now more and more people like travelling by MTR. MTR is quite expensive but it is clean and fast. To places like Tai Po and Sheung Shui, we can take the KCR. Travelling by the KCR is as comfortable as MTR.

　　The slowest way of travelling on land is by tram. The fare is cheaper than the bus fare. When we have plenty of time, it is nice to go by tram.

　　The most expensive way to travel is by taxi. We can go anywhere we like in a taxi. The seats are very comfortable, too.
