Proms(毕业舞会) are a big part of high school for students in the UK. A school prom is a party to celebrate an important date at school, such as the end of secondary school or completing school exams. |
Prom parties | Proms are usually held in June, around the end of exam time. The idea is to have fun with your school friends. Some schools even hold the party in a five-star hotel. Others have a more basic dinner in the school itself. A prom organizer provides everything for the special event, such as balloons, food and music. |
Clothes and beauty | Young people like to dress up for their prom. On prom night, girls change their school uniform for an evening dress and high heels. Boys usually dress up in a suit with a tic and smart shoes. |
Cars | Arriving at your prom in a good car is very popular! The party can start on the way to the dinner or dance. Part of the fun for some prom-goers is to drive around town in their best clothes and make sure that everyone sees them. |

Many parents see the prom as an import from the US. They say that American TV programs and films such as High School Musical have had a big influence on their kids. |
