Introduction
Agar aap Hollywood movies ya American TV shows dekhte hain, to aapne “Prom Night” ka naam zaroor suna hoga. Yeh ek aisa event hai jo American high school students ke liye bohot special hota hai. Lekin, kya aap jaante hain ki prom night hoti kya hai aur yeh farewell party se kitni alag hai? Is article mein hum Prom Night ke bare mein har chhoti-badi baat discuss karenge, taki Indians bhi is interesting tradition ko samajh sakein.
Prom vs. Prom Night: Kya Difference Hai?
- Prom, yaani “Promenade,” ek formal dance aur social event hota hai jo high school ke end par celebrate kiya jata hai, khas kar seniors ke liye (jo 12th grade yaani last year ke students hote hain). Yeh ek grand farewell jaisa hota hai jisme students elegant gowns aur tuxedos pehente hain, dance karte hain, aur ek memorable night enjoy karte hain.
- Prom Night specific event ka time batata hai—yeh usually ek raat ko hota hai, jisme students dance, dinner aur celebrations enjoy karte hain.
Prom Night Kis Class Ke Liye Hoti Hai?
Yeh country ke education system par depend karta hai:
- India mein, high school usually classes 9 aur 10 ko refer karta hai, aur senior secondary classes 11 aur 12 ko.
- U.S. aur kai dusre deshon mein, high school grades 9 se 12 tak hota hai (jo India ke 9th se 12th ke barabar hai).
Toh U.S. mein, prom 12th graders (seniors) ke liye hoti hai, yani yeh college ke pehle school life ka last event hota hai. Agar aap Indian education system ke perspective se dekhein, toh prom 12th ke farewell party jaisa hoga, 10th ke liye nahi.
