In American schools, there is something called Homecoming Day(校友返校日). Many high schools and colleges with a football team have a Homecoming game. This can be the most important thing of the year except the graduation ceremony. Students plan for Homecoming Day many weeks in advance(预先).

Several days before Homecoming Day, 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 Day twenty or thirty years after their graduation.

The members of some school clubs build booths(摊位) and sell lemonade, apples and sandwiches. Some clubs help to welcome the visitors.

During the day, people like to look for teachers whom they still remember. They often see old friends and 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 as Homecoming Queen or King. 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. However, if the team loses, the students still enjoy the Homecoming. Some stay at the school to dance, and others go to a party. For everyone it is a day worth remembering.

One day, after dinner, Mr. and Mrs. Davies told their son. Matt, the decision about moving to London. The boy felt surprised and upset. He didn’t want to leave his friends. He said that he would rather live with his classmate, Mike. His parents thought that he would change his mind later. Soon, it was August, Mr. and Mrs. Davies were busy packing. However, Matt refused to go together with his parents.

When the day came for them to leave India, Mr. and Mrs. Davies found their son lost. They were anxious and they called Mike, but he didn’t know where Matt was, either. In fact, at that time, Matt was walking alone on the street. He walked past a park. He remembered that he and his father often played tennis in the  park. He walked past a supermarket.
