There are some important, memorable events that people never forget in life. Graduating from high school is one of them. It marks the end of a time in your life. The idea of an end-of-the-year gathering, or “prom (高中生正式舞会)”, has been popular in America since the late 1800s.Nowadays it is common for students to attend prom at the end of their junior or senior high school year. In other places, like France and England, students only started using the term “prom” in the last ten years or so because of the influence of American TV shows.
When and how students celebrate the end of schooling differs around the world. In some European countries, like Poland (波兰) and Norway (挪威), students hold their graduation party before the final exams. In Belgium (比利时), proms happen 100 days before graduation and it is an all-day event. Students wear fun costumes to school and play jokes on their teachers. After lunch, they put on a show where they perform songs and plays for the rest of the school. Lastly, there is a dance party in the evening that only graduating students can attend.
Other places, like most of South America, hold their graduation parties after the final exams, or on the day of graduation. In Russia, students go straight from their graduation to a dance. The dances are usually held in restaurants where the students can eat and dance until sunrise.
People around the world have their own ways of celebrating graduation, and they name the graduation gatherings differently. Some people prefer parties that are formal (正式的) while some prefer parties that are more casual or centering on a special theme. Usually the people at the party are expected to dress formally or to wear special costumes. In some countries, students are allowed to go with their parents or relatives while in some other countries the parties are only for students to attend. No matter what you do to celebrate graduation, it is a good chance to recognize (认可) your achievements and to look ahead to a future of possibilities.
