Essay 1-02b: University Life

I like KGU. Many students may be proud of own department. KGU is very interesting university, so I’m going to write about university life.

First, I’ m going to write about our homework. We always have to do a lot of homework. We must write blog, read book (this book written by English) everyday, other class’s homework. Now I have speaking homework, and I have to read book, writing blog, and Korean. My friend has more homework than me. She looks tired, but cannot help studying, because we have very nice dream. But I’m poor at speaking test. We have to discussion during three people. I’m tension when I have speaking test.

Second, I’ll write about our university. KGU has a lot of unique and funny student. I think KGU is cheerful university. My friends said me “I think your university is very fun. I wanted to go to your university.” I feel happy. I like KGU very much. KGU is always busy. I think this university students are easygoing. Anyway, there is much kind of students.

Next, I’ll write about class. If you have class from first period, you have to come to school before nine o’clock! And we study from nine to ten thirty minute. Friend and I is feel sleep. We are the department of English student, so we have English class. Of course we have reading, writing, speaking, listening class. This classes taught by English teachers. Friend and I sometimes can’t understand what my teacher says, so we sometimes feel down. I usually ask my friends about homework. My friend can understand. I admire her.

I’m going to introduce about circle and events. Most students belong to circle. I belong to Aokatsu. Every students like own circle. Every circle is very nice. Circle has many events, for example: Athletic festival School festival dances party. Every event is very funny. But if you want to go all events, you have to pay a lot of money. Every student will pay a lot of money, but every event really nice and interesting. I can’t choose the most interesting event.

Finally, I’m going to introduce about good place in KGU. KGU has nice bakery and cafeteria. Bakery and cafeteria has very good meal. I like pizza, Pizza sold out soon. I can’t get it. Almost student eat lunch at the bakery and cafeteria, but KGU has many student, so we can’t eat at bakery and cafeteria. We go to class room, but we can’t eat lunch in the PC room. If you spill drink, PC will break. KGU has wonderful library. We can use computer, read many kind of book. For example KGU University has Korean, Chinese, English, and novel, picture book. And we can watch Japanese, Korean, Chinese, English movie and drama. I really like library. We use library when I have no class and teat term. Library will good place you want to study. If you want to read news paper written by English or Korean or Chinese, you can read it. This library is very nice. When test term, we go to cafeteria, bakery, library. I think KGU has really nice place.
