Essay 1-02c: KGU Life

 I introduce KGU. KGU is the center of Kumamoto. I think that Kumamoto is the most beautiful city in Japan. I am going to KGU now. There are many useful things in KGU.
There are a lot of useful places in KGU. We often use them every day. For example, there are Bakery, student dining hall and library. They are my favorite places and very popular places. I go there every day. Maybe you will also become so. You should get to know more about a KGU, and should enjoy university life. I want to help about it and I want you to enjoy KGU life.

One thing I think exchange students will need to know is to join the club teams in KGU. Because there are many club teams in KGU, and they are so popular.If you join the club team, you can enjoy your school life. Our club is held on every Wednesday. We are looking forward to holding on every Wednesday. And, I can make friends in my club. I often went to shopping with member of our club. The member of our club are so chummy. I have been to Aso with them at the midnight.  It was so fun. I last being laugh then. I enjoy my club. So you should join the club.

  Bakery is in 12 building. It has a lot of delicious bread. Cooks bake bread many times in a day. There are some drinks, soft cream, some kinds of soup and salad. Breads are cheap. But they are very delicious!!I like tuna-boat and kurumi bread. There is a very popular place. So there always are a lot of student, housewife and children in bakery. This place is very lively place. I go bakery every day.

  Student dining hall has a lot of kind foods. I like niku Udon. Student dining hall is larger more than Bakery and there are many people too. Some breads sell in Student dining hall too. We can receive food after buy a food ticket. We can buy very cheap for many food. Many students and teachers go this place. Curry is popular food in here. You can eat a lot of Japanese foods.

  Library is so large and many books and many personal computer. There are books of the kind of manga, magazine, news paper, news paper of English and picture book. And there are many books of many countries. So we can study many language. We can study and use personal computer in study room. We can watch movie. We can listening music. And there are a lot of interesting movies and CDs. For example, there are Harry Potter, High School Musical, Cinderella and so on. We can spend free time effectively alone or with friends. Library is one of the my favorite place.

 Another is to get environments that talk with professors at all time they'll want to know to be happy and successful students in KGU. KGU is very good professors to study. They are so friendly and kind. So, they are certanly there for you if you need them. I often don't understand how to study English and why study English. But good teachers lead me the right way. And they give me good advices. So you should ask professors if you want helps.

 If you want to study, reading books and watching movies, you should go to library!! I think you can enjoy there. And you enjoy talking with friends at bakery, student dining hall,  convenience store and unoccupied study room. So you can enjoy free time in KGU. I want to go there when I don't have free time because that place is so enjoyable place. But you should be quiet in library because many students are studying in there.

  Where is you want to go in KGU? In addition to these, there is a convenience store, LAWSON, smoking corner, benches and some ATM in KGU. KGU is so comfortable university. KGU is really large and big university. There are a lot of buildings in KGU. I am so tired when I walk 12 building for 14 building. I used to become missing in KGU because KGU is too large. Let's enjoy university life with us in KGU!!

 Now, I really enjoy life of KGU. I want you to enjoy this school life. In this univercity, you certainly enjoy your campus life. Let's enjoy together in KGU. Good Luck!I think that KGU is convenient school. Because KGU is the center of Kumamoto and KGU is building near the bus stops and station. So if you want to go shopping, you can go soon by bus and train. In fact, I always use the bus stop which is in front of KGU. It is so convenience and useful.
