In American schools there is something called “Home coming” day. Many high schools and colleges with a football team have a homecoming game. This can be the most important event of the year except graduation or commencement day (毕业典礼).Students plan homecoming day for many weeks in advance.
Several days before Homecoming,students start to decorate the school,there are signs to wish luck to the team,and many other signs to welcome all the graduates. Many people still come to Homecoming twenty or thirty years after their graduation.
The number of school clubs build booths (摊位) and sell lemonade (柠檬),apples and sandwiches. Some clubs help to welcome visitors.
During the day people like to look for teachers that they remember from long ago. Often they see old friends and they talk together about those happy years in school.
Everyone soon comes to watch the football game. When the game is half over,the band comes onto the field and plays school songs. Another important moment is when the Homecoming Queen or King appears. All the students vote a most popular student. It is a great honor to be chosen.
Homecoming is a happy day,but it is not perfect unless the football team wins the game. Even if the team loses,the students still enjoy Homecoming. Some stay at the school to dance,and others go to a party. For everyone it is a day worth remembering.
