Nowadays people celebrate all kinds of graduations. Students graduate from elementary school, high school, and college. In some countries, such as Korea and the United States, families even celebrate when their children graduate from kindergarten at the age of five or six. There are graduations from judo and karate classes, English classes, art classes, and modeling classes.
In the United States, graduation from high school is perhaps the most significant. One tradition with high school graduation is the prom. The prom is a school dance, and it is very formal. It marks the end of adolescence and high school life, and the start of a new period of work or college. Take, for example, Jessica. She is graduating from high school this June, and she’s going to celebrate at her prom. Jessica is going to wear a beautiful evening dress, jewelry, and new shoes with high heels. Rick, her date, is going to wear a tuxedo. He’s going to pick her up at her house, and they’re going to arrive at the prom in a limousine. It’s going to be an unforgettable evening.
