Everyone then goes to watch the football game. When the game is half over, the band comes into the field and plays school songs. Another important moment is when the Homecoming Queen or King appears.

Dear Alex,

Here is my suggestion about your travel during the long May Day holidays. On May 1st , you may take the 8:00 flight to Beijing. You are to visit the Tiananmen Square in the afternoon. Next day, I suggest you visit the Great Wall, the longest wall in the world. For the next two days, you can visit the Summer Palace, walk around and do some shopping. On May 5th , you are to take a train to Tai’an City to climb the nearby Mount Tai, on the top of which, if lucky, you’ll have the chance to see the sunrise early next morning. In the afternoon, you may return to Nanjing by train. I wish you could enjoy your travel.
