Arizona State University's "promote relatives" parade was successfully held (Sunbird special reporter Wang Shuai) On the morning of November 27, as a week-long Asian State University Homecoming The highlight and climax of the week (November 21st - November 29th) - the 2011 Homecoming parade was perfectly held at the University Drive Tempe campus. This event also heralds the end of the annual traditional project - Homecoming. Homecoming is a traditional event unique to American universities. Its main purpose is to welcome alumni from all walks of life back to school. In the Chinese cultural circle, the meaning of the word "province relatives" is relatively corresponding to this. Because Americans attach great importance to and cherish the life experience of high school and college level, Homecoming week is often the largest and most solemn event of the school every year. It generally includes various cultural and sports activities, as well as old alumni visiting teachers and professors, etc. Today's parade is as lively as ever. Although the parade only started at 11:30, many departments and social groups came to the lawns on both sides of University Drive early to set up arbors and set up tables. Enthusiastic volunteers welcomed old alumni, and some booths also provided colorful activities such as games, just like a big carnival. The activities of several departments are quite distinctive. For example, at the school of international studies booth, volunteers prepared many boards with writing in various languages, and then invited alumni and tourists from different countries and regions around the world to speak out the contents on the boards in their languages, and gathered them together as a small gift to their alma mater. The reporter met an uncle wearing a Chinese hat. He greeted us enthusiastically and in fluent Chinese. When we asked him if he knew the meaning of "dismantle" on the hat, he smiled and said that he knew a lot about China, and this was not a problem. At the booth of the English Department, a word-writing competition was held. Anyone who guessed one word could get a small exquisite gift. The Parade starts on time at 11:30. The school and the Tempe city government closed University Drive early, so it was rare to see the distance from the normally busy street. Enthusiastic cheerleaders and marching bands led the parade. Since welcoming old alumni is the theme of Homecoming, the first few teams marching were famous alumni and famous Football members. Next is the team of professors and alumni who have won various honors. Students and social groups can also sign up to participate in the parade, so you can gradually see colorful content. For example, there is a re-enactment of scenes from Greek mythology, or a procession of classic cars, or there is no specific theme at all. Go up and participate in this activity that is similar to a big party. The weather is also very beautiful today, with warm sunshine and gentle breeze. Therefore, many people also bring their families and enjoy the picnic time. After the parade, there is also a highlight in sports: the Homecoming match. Many people marched towards the main stadium after participating in the parade. Since next Monday is another important holiday in the United States - Halloween, the activities in Tempe City this weekend are really colorful.
