M: Hey Susan, what are you coming as this year?
W: Coming as?
M: Yeah, for Halloween! We have a big office party tomorrow evening. There’s a prize for the best costume!
W: Um, I have to confess I haven’t given it much thought. I’m from Asia and Halloween really isn’t celebrated there.
M: Really? You don’t have some kind of ghost festivals?
W: Oh, sure. We have an entire month!
M: Cool! A whole month! What do you do during that month?
W: Well, we need to feed the ghosts because they’re hungry.
M: But no dressing up like ghosts, right?
W: No.
M: To tell you the truth, I love Halloween!
W: Why do you love Halloween?
M: Um…I think it’s because Halloween lets me act like a kid again. I can dress up and play around. Halloween is really all about having fun!
W: So Christmas and Thanksgiving and other American holidays are more formal than Halloween?
M: That’s right. Christmas and Thanksgiving are more family-oriented. Halloween is a chance to get crazy!
W: So if I come to the party, I have to wear a costume?
M: You don’t have to, but it’s strongly encouraged. Come on! It’ll be fun!
W: I’m really quite reserved. The idea of putting on a costume is completely out of character for me.
M: That’s why it’s fun! On Halloween you can forget about everything and just let loose!
W: So I have to be a vampire or a demon or something?
M: Back when I was a kid, everyone came dressed as a ghost or a mummy or a vampire. These days there are lots of costumes available and people try their best to come up with original ideas.
W: Great! You just added to my pressure! I have no idea what kind of costume to wear.
M: What’s your favorite horror movie?
W: I actually like Japanese ghost stories. Western horror movies don’t scare me; they just make me sick to my stomach. Japanese ghost stories terrify me though.
M: Then come as a Japanese ghost! You can wear a white sheet and get a long wig! Push your hair in front of your face and you’d make a great ghost!
W: How about a witch? I’m a woman, and remember, women like to look nice. I want to be scary, but I want to look good too!
M: Sure. You’ll make a very attractive witch!
W: How about you? What are you coming as?
M: I’m coming as a serial killer! I’ve got fake blood and a huge fake knife! It’s going to be cool!
W: Sounds like fun. OK, I’m in.
M: Wonderful! See you at the party!
W: Thanks for talking me into it!
M: You’re welcome!
