Roommate: Why are there so many people in the hall today? I bet even the youngest of them gotta be over 60.
May: They are schoolmates of our university. There is a reunion of our university.
Roommate: Look, May, the man in grey suit looks like the mayor of our city.
May: That’s him. He graduated from our university. And there are also other important people here: scientists, researchers, engineers, managers, etc.
Roommate: Really? I hear that the statue besides our school gate is donated by them.
May: Yes, I know that. They have given lots of money to our university.
Roommate: Why?
May: They graduated from this university and have become very successful people. And they feel very grateful to their university.
Roommate: I feel more grateful to my teachers than to my school.
May: You are lucky to have good teachers in a good school.
Roommate: Year, maybe I would come back with my boyfriend to this school when we are old. After all, it’s the place where we first met each other.
May: Look at those three couples; they must have been classmates in our university.
Roommate: How do you know that?
May: Because they come back together and only the graduates of this university are invited.
Roommate: You are right. But what are we here for?
May: We will serve them tea and snacks. Come on, we must work now.
