It is often said that the best time in the life of anyone is the time that he spends in school. And the best time of my life came to an end on the 5th of February ,which was my last day at school.

Since it was the day to leave my friends, classmates and teachers, the farewell party(告别会)was heart-breaking. It was time to leave my dear school, where I had spent ten years of my life.

The farewell party took place in the big hall. This was the first time that I hadn’t worn my school uniform in the past twelve years. Though sad, I felt great.

In the beginning, there was the ceremony (仪式)of lighting the lamp (灯). It was lit by the headmaster of our school. This was followed by the students of the 12th class lighting their candles from the big lamp. Then came the students of the 11th class, hosting the party. It included delicious food and drinks. After the party, there was a program of entertainment. Some students sang songs and some danced.

Along with the programs, some of the students collected autographs (签名) of their favorite teachers.

The headmaster and teachers gave speeches in English and Hindi(印度语). Finally, they all wished us great success, not only in the examination, but in life, too.

Then we had our photograph taken together, this continued until it was time for the party to stop. And, by and by, all of us returned home with a sad heart and a lot of memories of our school years.

Shopping for clothes is not the same experience for a man as it is for a woman. A man goes shopping because he needs something. All men simply walk into a shop and ask for what they want If the shop has it, the salesman quickly finds it, and the business of trying it on continues at once. All being well, the deal can be and often is completed in less than five minutes.

For a man, small problems may begin when the shop does not have what he wants. Then, the salesman tries to sell the customer something else. "I know this jacket is not the style(款式)you want, sir, but would you like to try it for size? It happens to be the color you mentioned." Few men have patience with this treatment, and the usual reply is, "This is the right color and maybe the right size, but I should be wasting my time and yours by trying it on."

However, a woman does so in the opposite way. Her shopping is not often based on(以... 为基础) need, and she is only "having a look around". She is always open to persuasion, really she believes in what the saleswoman tells her. She will try on any number of things. Most women have an excellent sense of value when they buy clothes. They are always on the lookout for the unexpected sale. Faced with a roomful of dresses, a woman may easily spend an hour going from one room to another, often going back over again, before choosing the dresses she wants to try on. It is always tiring, but obviously(明显的) enjoyable. Most dress shops provide chairs for the waiting husbands.
