answer:I’m not sure if it is a prom, though everyone seems to think so. There used to be a party called “Goodbye Prom” at my high school. The name was self-explanatory: it was a farewell party for final year students, though everyone could join. It took place at the school gym. There were table with lots of food and drink, and a stage, where all the music took place. On that day my class dressed in the best clothes. We all looked as if we came from somewhere else and not the school. We chatted, took photos, and even danced. Some students who were “in a relationship” even exchanged “goodbye” letters. Soem of my classmates also sang on the stage. Teachers were there too, and they joined the fun with the students. At the end of the prom everyone hugged each other and cried. We were sure there was little chance that we could meet again. I also heard that in many schools in my country there are proms taking places too. So… maybe prom isn’t just an American thing after all.
